She's a woman of integrity,
She recognises her beauty,
And her specialty.
Knowing she's not perfect,
She reflects before she can react,
She may not be every mans desire,
But that doesn't matter because its not something to require,
Love and total attention from one is enough,
Lots of times she laughs,
At times she even bluffs,
When life gets rough,
She gets tough,
She's a survivor,
Her familys reviver.
She's a woman,
A woman of integrity.

These Great Reviver’s wild reforms
Now sound like all Hot Air,
Narendra Modi’s new India
Still bogged down in despair.
Shinzo Abe’s revised Japan
Still wallows to stagnate
And China’s Xi Jinping’s grand scheme
Continues to deflate.
Collectively they stumble
In their plans to stimulate
Asia’s great economies…..
But have failed to shut the gate
On the Shadow Banking industry,
Their vague structural reform
And the fossilized grey politics
Which resemble, now, the norm.
Rhetoric is their keynote here
Real action’s in decline
With their mandate clearly squandered
There’s A BIG CRASH DOWN THE LINE!

Drab as a fool, aloof as a bard
Live not on Evil
Cain: a maniac
Live on evasions? No, I save no evil.
Eve, mad Adam, Eve!
Dennis, Eve saw Eden if as a fine dew, as Eve sinned.
Devil never even lived.
Do, O God, no evil deed! Live on! Do good!
Live, O Devil, revel ever! Live! Do evil!
Evil, a sin, is alive.
Evil did I dwell, lewd I did live.
Ma is as selfless as I am.
Name not one man.
O, stone, be not so.
Rot a renegade, wed a generator.

A relic, Odin. I'm a mini, docile Ra.
A peg at lovely Tsar - a style voltage, pa.
Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?
Bombard a drab mob.
Borrow or Rob?
No, it never propagates if I set a gap or prevention
We few,
We panic in a pew,
We sew,
Ye boil! I obey!

In words, drown I.Revered now, I live on. O did I do no evil, I wonder, ever?
Is it I? It is I!
I'm am a fool; aloof am I.
Now I won.
“***… ***…” I murmur.

Sleepwalking through life.
Sleepwalking through strife.
Daydreaming about happier times,
Then you came into my life.

I've never known this joy
Stemmed from the love of a boy,
Who holds me close and makes me smile--
My heart he won't destroy.

Stay in my life. Keep me awake.
My heart is yours; it's yours to take.

My reviver-- that's what you are.
My awakener-- brighter than any star.

Sleepwalking is no more because of who you are.

It's funny, those mirror images. Small bracelets of macaroni-turned jewels,
Costly and pointless. Plastic race cars that mom and dad bought me
Zooming around and breaking vases that once
Held cigarette ash. Flowers wrote an essay on lung cancer,
A peer who, on a high night, was put into the vase.
Flora lungs are surreal.
Imagine a flower the shape of me: my blue hair and eyes the petals and bud,
My body a stem and lungs are the leaves,
Ripped out of my sternum and strewn into the antigravity that surrounds me.
A mirror image in another world,
But somehow not the same. Like nuns and ****** both
Screaming to God as their **** are groped and abused.
Collisions with the coffee table tip the coughing flower and let sailors tug on the ropes,
Sailing on the sea of liquid ash and sing "yo-no yo-**" all the way to the white carpet.
A memorial. To the woman who was saved hereby flashing lights and muffled sirens,
The drugs were too heavy.

And then we sit playing scrabble and watching the news. Oh that poor girl.
It doesn't matter though. It is far enough away to only think of palindromes to click in the
Plastic squares, a perfect fit for a triple word score.
But the score doesn't matter. It is what the word represents.
Reviver: one who brings back.
A necromancer? The zombified critters under the stairs because you felt bad about killing them.
They ate your food, but you conducted a mass ****** with that sweet poison that crystallizes
Their blood. Their parallel selves are still alive aren't they? The realms are separated by a thread,
Nothing more, so why must they be dead?

Why must they be characters in a movie? Everything is a lie, even the
Letters laid on the game board.
The words we speak is a made up language, the god most believe in
Is a figment of imagination. And so is mine. They are just creatures
Written in a book by drunken sailors, man himself,
Or warped versions of a goddess created by hags, high of of the leaves
Vining in their flowerbeds. Clouds came down because of the warm brandy and
Smoke from their pipes, polluted and *****.
Fog does not belong here, this Christmas, but at least it will mask the brick wall that
Everyone seems to crash into.
It is a theory of course; people with glass skulls and hollow brains won't live through it,
But it is worth a shot. No one knows whether you will be crushed, or the wall.
On the other side, the other half of the world, the mirrored side,
Exactly the same as the one behind. Nothing new, but everything to see. You haven't looked until
You've seen the opposite of yourself.

my feet are extremely sore
this afternoon
as I've been on them
well before noon
standing on a cement floor
which hasn't any give
has made my feet feel
like they haven't long to live

I've just put them up
for a reviver and rest
and in about three hours
they'll be full of zest
the arches of my feet
is where the discomfort lies
I've just heard them
let out one or two sighs

it is hoped that I can stand
to cook my dinner tonight
for if I can't I'll know my feet
have given up the fight
so often my webbed feet
do harangue me no old end
it's as thought their telling me
we're not your friends

our world is strung together by vanity
held up by they raptures of insanity
at any moment it could tumble down
leaving behind the faded of a cloud
of dust
built up by mistrust
torn down by the realization
that we are a broken nation
hiding in the shadows of our corrupt sanction
watching with a distorted sight
becoming blind as we see the light
turning away as the walls deteriorate
triggered by our impule to differentiate
untill all that we know is lost in oblivion
leaving us alone with our heart's broken rythm
for a moment it stops
the zig zags take a leap of faith and drop
but our individuality kicks in
acting as a reviver
its safe to say
we are society's survivers

We were born into this world
Naked
Weak
Afraid
Cold
Starving
Crying
In need of saving
Don't you dare lie
Because you know it's the truth

We were born into this world
Unable to do anything
Alone
Hearts cold as stone
Barely even human
Wrapped in evil
Sinking in
Breathing in
Drowning in
Living in
Sin
And you know it's the truth.

We were born into this world
Falling short
Of the glory
And surely
Living but not alive
Seeing with closed eyes
Not knowing
Not even wanting
What we were truly needing

Healing from a healer
Love from a lover
Life from a reviver

Saving
From a savior.

Because if you look into
The deepest part of your soul
You will find
A child.
A broken, bleeding child
In need of rescue.

Because no matter what you say
No matter what you do
No matter what you think
Don't lie
Because you know it's the truth.
Child,
You don't know your hero
And heck,
You act like you don't need your hero
But, child,
Your hero already bled for you.

Não dá pra reviver coisas mortas,
Eu não consigo pensar na hipótese
De te ter de volta...
É impossível esquecer tanta mágoa,
Não dá pra pensar que,
Logo agora,
Algo
Você me valha.

São sonhos impossíveis,
Desejos em vão,
Eu te disse: vem!
Mas deixa teu coração.
Pois, a minha nobre alma,
Não comporta nada,
Além de vazio,
**** e outras claras madrugadas.

I sat in the shelter
as the sunset flared

In my steel thermos
is hot freeze-dried coffee
instant, not ground
but
a sure reviver

I took my shot and kissed her on her energizing lips.
She revived me and gave me a new break of dawn delight.
My reviver, my rejuvenater, my warmly come alive romancer.
Flow thru me and shine on me thru my coldest of days.
By your glimmering light I awake. All greatful for a new day. The rising sun. - Swoo

Tea served up to the masses;
cannot function without it.
Tea, the reviver of mankind.

Oh, consciência, implacável juíza,
Que fere mais que qualquer algoz,
Trazes lembranças de amor desfeito,
E um eco amargo de nossa voz.

O peito anseia reviver a chama,
Que outrora ardia em doce fulgor,
Mas logo a sombra do arrependimento,
Apaga os rastros do que foi amor.

Diz-se apaixonado, anseia o reencontro,
Mas trata-me frio, como um forasteiro,
Sou eu quem vaga por sonhos desfeitos,
Na vã esperança de um amor inteiro.

E então, cruel consciência alerta,
Diz-me que corro sem direção,
Alimento esperanças já esquecidas,
Num tempo que jaz na escuridão.

O fim talvez não seja o fim,
mas apenas um instante onde tudo desaba,
onde os pés tocam o fundo do abismo
e, ao olhar ao redor, percebes: ainda há caminho.

Olhas para trás e corres,
não para reviver, mas para rasgar páginas,
para incendiar memórias,
como se o fogo pudesse consumir a dor.

Nós, que pensamos demais,
nos agarramos ao que foi belo,
mas lutamos para esquecer o que fere,
ainda que o passado insista em nos rodear,
sussurrando lembranças que não pedimos para ouvir.

Será, então, que uma nova vida nos faz esquecer,
ou apenas nos ensina a conviver com o que fomos?
As palavras ecoam em nossos pensamentos,
lutamos contra nós mesmos em silêncio,
tentamos preencher o vazio com alguém,
como se um novo rosto pudesse apagar as cicatrizes de um antigo.

Mas há um dia – distante, mas certo –
em que tudo o que um dia nos pesou
se desfaz como poeira ao vento,
e o que antes nos consumia, torna-se nada.
Nenhuma mágoa, nenhum apego, nenhum nome.
A dor se reformata, a memória se apaga,
e enfim, a alma descansa.

O poço nunca terá fim,
mas dentro dele há uma escada invisível,
que surge quando menos esperamos.
Não há pressa, não há fuga,
porque até o sofrimento é passageiro,
e a vida, por si só, nos ensina a subir.

rain, beautiful water, thirst quencher, flower reviver, green maker,
the snuggling in excuse for creatures, the put on hold garden plans,
a time of skies calling the shots.

Surely we're better than this,
scurrying about like **** ants
as if we've got to big for our short pants

tell me it's so.

I need a reviver
someone comes over
with
a Cuba libre
just what I need a
rush to the head,

Nos abismos da mente, onde não há início nem fim,
existe uma porta oculta, frágil e silenciosa.
Ela se abre nas decepções e se esconde nas alegrias,
e, em certos dias, nem sei se ainda está lá.

Qual é o verdadeiro fundo dos pensamentos?
Quão profundo se pode mergulhar
antes que a própria consciência se torne um labirinto?
Será que já cheguei ao limite do que posso suportar,
onde as palavras se chocam e as dores se escondem,
presas em gavetas que nunca quero abrir?

Talvez, nas sombras dos pensamentos,
repousem memórias que eu preferia esquecer,
ou um vazio sem nome,
um cemitério de sentimentos
que ainda ecoam dentro de mim.

Mas hoje, recuso-me a afundar nesses destroços,
prefiro escrever palavras bonitas,
pintar poesias que me representem
em vez de gritar dores que não desejo reviver.

Falar? Para quê?
Se minha voz já se perdeu no tempo.
Prefiro o silêncio da observação,
o encanto do que é admirável,
e o alívio de traduzir em versos
aquilo que nunca conseguiria dizer.
