The window panes make the refraction of the flying light towards the horizon looking for the night and the illuminated windows of the empty buildings. The purple light watched from far away is from the spilled blood in the buildings' facades gently right now yes inhabited by shadows. A vidraça refracta a luz que voa em direcção ao horizonte à procura da noite e das janelas iluminadas dos prédios…

With a glass of red wine I greet the travel by the intermediate stop of life's heartburn. The soul just becomes happy with a place inside the body. The hidden of my compass turns 360º looking for which North? How long this ardour will burn the soul's painless? Com um copo de vinho tinto saúdo a viagem com escala na azia da vida. A alma contenta-se com um lugar no corpo. O recôndito de minha bússola gira 360º à procura de que Norte? Por q…

Today I navigate rumours of cascade light that wonders me it's so easy to surf on golden sun vibrations surrounded by the mystery that leads navigators to find out the world immersed as astronaut's levitation where the blue planet appears suspended in the chaotic space marvel so I stay dull alone and astonished by the geography's contemplation of dream. Hoje navego rumores de cascata de luz que me extasiam é tão fácil ondular na vibração dourada do sol envolt…

Nowadays what takes us by surprise is that all happen without our choice. We live crammed with abstract entities not controlled by stockholders. It is said that capital is the supreme good and can't be exposed to bankruptcy. At the cost of social shrinking, flop and fear. Politicians laugh in our faces and say can't do better. Clergymen pacify starving faithful prayers. And people knead field's dust, eat nettles and combat forest fires. O estranho nos dias que correm é que tud…

I watch the sea from here I am a swelled wave at the life' surf of other bodies in rubber-suits and hair of algae and salt still diving even if the wave forgets the sea that pushes her away. Avisto o mar daqui sou onda enrolada no surf da vida de outros corpos com fatos de borracha e cabelos de algas e sal…

RENEWED TIDE Night' sour is diluted by morning's heat anguish dives into an ocean of every fish - mammal - shell fish - jellyfish - sticky alga of thought. At night a renewed tide casts ashore solitude becomes endangered by moonlight hope survives in the abyss non-stop multiplication marvelous chaos in the birth and death of all spec…

More and more I write less cause not all is already said but from all that remains unsaid nothing would justify the mystery of life. Cada vez mais escrevo menos não que tudo esteja dito mas de tudo o que fica por dizer nada justificaria o mistério da vida. by Armando TABORDA, in "PALAVRAS QUE AS MARÉS APAGAM", Edição Escola de Mar, 2014 (1st edition, 2012; 2nd edition, 2019)

Light I think of you by dawn while my skin gets thick waiting for a new day it's the right time to tell you that when you reborn my solitude will remain with me and you away from this insomnia will illuminate my life. Luz pensar-te assim de madrugada quando a minha pele se crispa à espera do dia é o exacto momento de dizer-te quando renasceres minha solidão ficará comigo e tu à distância desta insónia iluminarás a minha vida.…

Nasci em Viana do Castelo, em 1942. Sou Coronel do Exército, reformado. Esqueci quase tudo o que aprendi nas escolas e na vida profissional e pessoal que tenho vivido intensa e ludicamente por esse mundo fora. Publiquei quatro livros com fragmentos do que me ficou na memória em mais de sessenta anos de vida. Embora continue a registar emoções, cada vez menos frequentes e mais leves, não sei se terei tempo de escrever um quinto livro. /// I was born in Viana do Castelo,…

The inclined slope is brief and fleeting in its declivity vertical trees at the background horizon insert themselves into the terrain drawing angles. A tired glance towards origin into the womb to the parched and paltry land where cattle flies in the air are almost clever beings because they insinuate into the eyes and the honey of our ears with the acumen of whom dives into waters and the indifference…
