“And after my wanderings, I hope I will arrive  where love is not alone, and hate is not alive.”  “I shall try to follow reason & faith,  and trust that where they join it is my place.”  From the foreword:  “Writing a poem is like sailing deep oceans at the mercy of shifting winds and streams that carry uncountable words, some emanating from the still, unseen deep, others from the ever changing emotions that flutter and sometimes rage at the surface. It may also happen that a poem wants to write itself, for poems can have feelings and secrets of their own that we never imagined, and are only revealed when one begins to write. The extraordinary discovery that it implies, is what makes the adventure of writing poetry the more exciting and worthwhile. Unique.  …  Within my limitations, I wrote this book with deep respect and admiration for the art of many great classical and modern poets, and sympathy for all those that have courage to expose their feelings. The book reveals some feelings of mine and a few opinions. It is a book about emotions, love, joy and sorrow, beliefs, and thoughts on life. About the world we live in, the Universe from where we came, and to where we will return one day. It is a book about lions too, birds, rain, the sun and the sea. It is about living creatures and stones. And Gods, time, existence and the naive hope of an eternal restart. It starts at Dawn.”  “Tomorrow, I’ll travel,  I’ll dream of adventures and gavel  the tempers, all seven,  to check if there’s fire in heaven.”

“With reason, we go beyond what we can sense. With emotions, we go beyond what we can reason.” “Kiss my lips, don’t lose any time trying to read them, for they may give you more when they don’t move, and I can nothing say when you feel them.” With reason, we go beyond what we can sense. With emotions, we go beyond what we can reason. If, and only if, we take the time to listen to our deep states of mind, to our divine instincts, and then have the courage to follow them. And bring our souls with us wherever we go, whenever we come back. We have a word for this: Emotions. But not enough words to explain it. We will never have enough words for such a task. Therefore, possibly, the only way to expose our emotions is through poetry. In poetry each word can, in mysterious ways, by combining with other words, in mysterious ways, allow us to travel through our emotions, and make it possible for new emotions, sometimes unknown, to take over our souls and minds. That’s what the words in this book are trying to do, in their own emotional way. Like in the simple words of love, in which there is love and there is more. There are emotions. EMOTIONS is a poetry book written in two languages. English and Portuguese. All poems are original, for it is not possible to translate a poem without losing the emotions that are embedded in the words. Two people may share emotions, but they will never be exactly the same. Likewise, for words. “Quando uma luz brilha sózinha e à minha volta não há ninguém, fico a pensar numa que eu tinha, se afinal é essa luz alguém.” “In this life that is so brief, we can only make it stronger by making moments massive till they can’t move any longer.”
