Lamp and Light   By Paulo Siuves In the distance I observed a lamp, it was lit and emitted a glow. There was no one close to her, no living soul to enjoy her kindness and there was no one around to bathe in the rays of light that the lamp threw on her.

  O Canto de Tua Frieza Hoje o meu canto é triste Minha voz está mais fraca Hoje o meu canto não é nobre, Nele, está o meu desabafo Hoje lembrei do dia de solidão Onde a minha vida inteira passou A minha memória pulsou no meu coração. Lembrei que minha canção Falava sobre nós dois, E compunha versos tristes Do antes e do agora… E depois? Meu canto se tornou em desencanto, Se tornou choro, se tornou pranto Pois, a letra da canção lembrava Meu dia triste, meu dia de solidão. Hoje canto sem querer cantar, Vivo, não por querer viver Pois, a frieza que outrora foi fogo, Agora se tornou a letra da minha canção.   Paulo Siuves paulosiuves@yahoo.com.br
