Há Palavras Que Nos Beijam

There Are Words That Kiss Us
There are words that kiss us
As if they had a mouth.
Words of love, of hope,
Of immense love, of crazy hope.
Naked words that you kiss
When the night loses its face;
Words that refuse
The walls of your sorrow.
Suddenly colorful
Among colorless words,
Expected unexpected
Like poetry or love.
(The name of the one you love
Revealed letter by letter
On distracted marble
On abandoned paper)
Words that transport us
Where the night is stronger,
To the silence of lovers
Embraced against death.
