you are alone and below the stage the seats are empty. the theatre is dark. why do you keep acting? what a bad habit

I believe in tears.
They know the eye that wept them.
They know the pain of seeing.
***
I believe in lullabays:
They are the oldest song that exists,
And they will exist as long as nights exist.
***
I believe in myself.
I believe in the home that I am,
The roof over my silence.
***

I believe in the tear of a fish
That gives us the sea.
The ocean.
***
I believe in those who look at the sea
For so long
Until it becomes their eyes.
***
I believe in the beauty of the world:
In the moon hanging in the window.
In a leaf made of sun.

Indefinite space, which, by co-substance night,
In one black mystery two void mysteries blends;
The stray stars, whose innumerable light
Repeats one mystery till conjecture ends;
The stream of time, known by birth-bursting bubbles;
The gulf of silence, empty even of nought;
Thought's high-walled maze, which the outed owner troubles
Because the string's lost and the plan forgot:
When I think on this and that here I stand,
The thinker of these thoughts, emptily wise,
Holding up to my thinking my thing-hand
And looking at it with thought-alien eyes,
The prayer of my wonder looketh past
The universal darkness lone and vast.

Fernando Pessoa, Sonnet XVIII

I saw happiness and pain in your eyes and reflections of the paradises lost and regained and lost again, that terrible loneliness and happiness, yes, and I reflect upon this and I think about you.

I'm imprisoned everywhere

You were talking recently about the meaning... of our... life... unselfishness of art... Let's take music... It's really least of all connected; to say the truth, if it is connected at all, then in an idealess way, mechanically, with an empty sound... Without... without associations... Nonetheless the music miraculously penetrates into the very soul! What is resonating in us in answer to the harmonized noise? And turns it for us into the source of great delight... And unites us, and shakes us? What is its purpose? And, above all, for whom? You will say: for nothing, and... and for nobody, just so. Unselfish. Though it's not so... perhaps... For everything, in the end, has its own meaning... Both the meaning and the cause...

and paradox me

I clavecin you

you asphyxiant me

and you liberty me

and you pulsator me

.

You me vertigo

you ecstasy me

and passionately me

absolute me

I absent you

you absurd me.

so many hearts run towards you
that you could be
and most generously
gild my misery with your sunshine
look - I pray to you again
for tenderness
mighty one
who else will so believe in you to whom will you be so necessary as to me
neediest one
stripped of splendor like a January tree
burning with shame
inside the chestnut body of a tree
hear me out
I beg for tenderness
deliver unto me salty drops of grace extravagant
arms lips' warmth

(In my sleep I dreamed this poem)

Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.

It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift.
