Thunderhead
My head thunders
Beneath my chest, I flirt you and kneel
I dedicate songs at your red eyes
Red flowers, Venus, bonus
Everything I can give you or less
More or less
I surrender, offer me, I bow before your beauty
Physical too, but not only
Not only
Thank God you exist
I think I'd break down
If you said there's no deal
I lift you with my hands, barely smile, smile barely
My closed eyes chase you
Out of orbit
Disheveled, divine, sudden
Sudden
Be sweet, be direct
Be the knife through butter
I can feel the way you arrive, quick
Searching through my junk
Messing my head
Blasting into the bauble I carry with me
Paperclips, hairpins, tonics
All the incredible hardness of my heart
Done into pieces
My head thunders
Beneath your chest I find stillness and silence
At the gate of your house in the neighborhood
Families watch TV, not me
At 8'o clock, I
I smoke Marlboro out on the street like everyone else
And like you - I know
I mean
I think I know
I think I know
I go easy and whistling
Because I trust your affection
Even if it comes in a slap
And walk the streets of Lapa on foot
Already, mist? Really?
The dust blinds me
The chill pokes me
Sunrise seen from Vila Ipojuca
The fine steel of the razor shaves me
The cold steel of the subway
The thin halo of your presence
Alone at the bakery in Santa Cecília
In the middle of the afternoon, sob
I mean, remember
Tapping your painted nails
Around the edges of a beer mug
Groan when you realize
They gave you gum as change
Remembering that one day I told you
You know, you look so chic, kind of freak, 70s style, stay
Stay with me
If you leave I’ll become a hobo
I’m no good for anything, won’t be your friend, stay
Stay, stay with me
My head thunders
And under your cloak I surrender
To the challenge of kissing you and understanding your desire
Throwing myself into your chest
My love is immense, bigger than I imagine
It's dense
A thick cloud of incense of intense perfume
And the simple act of smelling you
Smells like art
Takes me to Mars
To any place
The place that sparks chemistry
Chemistry
Forget the mimic and the gym class
Only fueled by magic
A thermo bottle explodes
Over the formica tables of a ceramic hall
Where chants resound
Monogamous conviction
Atomic displacement
To a unique instant
Where the most lyrical poem
Becomes the most logical thing
And hugging each other with overwhelming force
Until our arms want to break
Every defense that may today exist
And may try to keep us apart
And this moment so tiny and gentle moment
And the beauty it might contain
Darling, never let yourself forget
Where all love is born and lives
