Artist's Comments

This picture was taken in a lagoon, near the place where I live, in the south of Portugal. The picture title says “sea” because it represents the size of the feeling associated. Read the poem, it’s original, mine, and depressing. Sometimes it all seems so quiet, however, it isn’t.


AMARGA MARÉ

Azul escuro, forte, intenso
infinito oceano estendido.
Algures no espaço imenso
do teu corpo fico, perdido.

Vejo figuras do céu caídas
em flecha sobre o teu peito.
Conta-me, estarão perdidas
tal como eu, fraco sujeito?

Olha para elas, lá em cima,
que podem sempre vaguear.
Correm para ti e isso anima
o teu azul, perpétuo ondular.

Criam a inveja do homem,
na falsa ilusão da liberdade.
Contigo nascem e dormem,
são tuas amantes, maldade.

Bravo oceano, tão perfeito,
oráculo, sabedoria milenar.
Revela-me agora, eu aceito,
por que me deixo afundar?

Desenha o destino, tu podes
se forem firmes as intenções.
Começa, canta as tuas odes,
água e sal nos meus pulmões.

Ou afasta a tua amarga maré,
que leva a um estranho lugar.
Sem norte, perdido, e sem pé
nesta miragem de poder voar.

hey! thanks for the visit and the comment.
the poem, translated, is something like this.

Dark blue, strong, intense
infinite extended ocean.
Somewhere in the immense
of your body I am, lost.

thanks again for the nice comments from you!
okay, here's a piece of the poem translated*:

(...)

I see objects from the sky fallen
like an arrow on your chest.
Tell me, are they lost
like me, weak person?

(...)

*it doesn't sounds the same in english...
some things get lost in translation :)
