sonhando

while i'm awake and you sleep in the other room
i dream of dreaming of you, a smile on your face
the window is wide open, and we can hear the feira beginning outside
the sky is blue, and i feel like love can last forever
that's how i always imagined love
in my dream you're still asleep
and your dream is full of water, your dream has an island, but the island disappears
your dream is complicated but
-- i dream --
the island becomes sand dunes temples a coffee a chocolate in the park your dream includes
_ _
your dream is beautiful, it has a lot of handwriting, unfinished ideas, unclear images
in my dream your dream is peaceful
and the sun is smooth soothing warming gentle
dreams can last as long as i can breathe
under the lamp i dream of living there
in this endless dream of dreams
i see you sleep, you open your eyes, you say
bom dia
but now i doubt my dreams because they can never let me sleep
it's as if i'm in japan and then, following the sun
slowly
gently
silently
i cross the whole territory of the earth
it's a beautiful death
-- i think --
to spread my dreams through the earth
hong kong, vietnam, cambodia
india, turkey, germany, spain
italy, tunisia, morocco
ithaca, new york, rio, são paulo, minas
japan
equatorial sweats arctic frosts
a day sleepless imagining dreams
scattered through the whole surface of this keyboard
this bed
this earth
this historical time
until my absence is completed
and you have woken a thousand times
