I take the floor (34) - Tomo a palavra (34)

I recover from surplus joy

well known and repeated hug in past

days

I hear the Keith Jarrett music at the Blue Note

themes' variations written on the stave

melancholy's impromptus

for future days.

I take the floor (35) - Tomo a palavra (35)

"2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY", STANLEY KUBRICK

I build an obelisk from top to bottom

without foundation

I annul the gravity force with an equal and opposite creative energy.

I mould the shape without posthumous sense

nor cause and effect

meaning comes up with an undefined sketch prior from its dilution into the space

before becomes stone.

My work is the Stanley Kubrick's obelisk in "2001: a space odyssey"

jump each time closer to galaxy's centre

compunctious hope always far away.

I mould an obelisk in the space

with love

night unfolds its hair

stars fill up its eyes

breeze half-opens its mouth

moon illuminates its reborn face.

MATINÉE

I went to the movies to deceive myself

the illusion is good and seems reality

but it's a mistake's bit

taken from an argument

to sell the ticket

to whom already has overtime to dream.

I take the floor (36) - Tomo a palavra (36)

One can hear the waltz night within

and us

useless

at all ghosts dance´s centre

fatuous and futile

ancestors

nothing discovering that we might clearly see

under the centuries' light that whirls

forever

the same waltz.

Praia Marinha, beach and marine caves - Praia Marinha, praia e grutas

Algarve, Praia Marinha (1)

The Michelin Guide classifies this beach as one of the 100 most beautiful in the whole world. The small sandy area close to Lagoa is still free from the crowd's invasion due to the fact it's sheltered by an high cliff. The pedestrian access is not easy (mostly in the way-back) but florid. The sea waters are transparent.

From here you can start a marvellous sea-watch focused on the marine caves at both sides of the beach. Algarve shore is plenty of marine caves. However, Praia Marinha caves certainly are the most shaped by sea and wind centuries' erosion, thus became real natural sculptures and spaces of unbeatable beauty and unique mysticism. In case you come to Algarve someday please don't lose a visit to this delighted place.

O Guia Michelin classifica esta praia como uma das 100 mais belas do mundo inteiro. O pequeno areal situado perto de Lagoa ainda está livre da invasão das multidões porque está protegido por uma alta falésia. O acesso pedonal não é fácil (especialmente no regresso), mas muito florido. As águas do mar são transparentes.

Daqui pode iniciar-se um passeio pelo mar com o objectivo de visitar as grutas de ambos os lados da praia. A costa do Algarve está cheia de grutas marinhas. No entanto, as grutas da Praia Marinha são as melhor torneadas por séculos de erosão do mar e do vento, transfigurando-as em esculturas e espaços naturais de incontida beleza e misticismo único. Se algum dia viajar até ao Algarve não poderá perder uma visita a este lugar encantado.
