Forbidden Kiss
Forbidden moment
cenceived by the heavens
of pure innocence
a lost kiss
eternal love on the seas
and the two became eternal part of the air
before parents and adults seeing
before they grow
and before people know
as if before being born
from the infinite
Rafael R. Fraga
Waves
Through sea fog
On the seashore
These crashing waves
Out from nowhere
From the sea air
One after another
Are like chords
Resonating from the infinite
Walking with myself
Talking in my thoughts
Lost here in nowhere
Me and these raindrops that fall
Like falling answers
To my brain
Torment ceases
Redemption without pain
No one forbids the rain...
-Rafael R. Fraga
The Giant Wheel
Lights do up
Lights go down
With the eternal frustration
Of never touching the ground
Lights go to the left
Lights go to the right
And you never know
The mess that's in your mind
Lights go turning at your command
If they'd flee
You'd run with astonishment
You can stop them
And you can turn them off
But you will always
Turn them on again
Lights keep going down
Lights keep going up
They keep on turning
You keep on smiling
Lights go down
Lights do up
With the eternal frustration
Of never touching the ground
-Rafael R. Fraga
Lost in the Night
Extravant extravagances
of the night life
of the supreme moon
your mask
Lady in a forbidden dress
an exitant look
the step by step
you in every stroke
Needs
space
It's your smudged lipstick
flying dress
in the wind of the tower adrift
If only you had a veil...
You are left... lost in the temples of the night
Waiting for someone to rescue you
From the cold, from the heights, and the chill
from the smudged lipstick and the kiss
you never gave
-Rafael R. Fraga
You Be
I think and think, therefore I am not…
When I forget whether to be or not to be
and the question
I finally feel the being
so I just am
The being Is, despite everything
Despite everything, it's you
Rafael R. Fraga
Night Tone
In the dark nights of the sea
the sound of piano keys
echoing in the north wind
guides the waves
An ancient midnight chord
gives the tone
and wakes up the stars
Seagulls dance in their flight
Whiule I sleep, while I dream
something guides me there
I can feel everything
comming from nowhere
and from everywhere!
Waves moving in rhythm
blown by a different wind
of the new tide of the Moon
Maestra of the night
Stars, how they shone
the whole night was a song
flowing melodies
coming from the beyond
of my own dream
The whole Universe
in just one tune
that no human being
ever heard before
That sound…
the low keys of the piano in heaven
ressonate in this mausoleum
where I float in the immansity
of deep water
A goddess, muse of the night, bursts forth monumental
from the water to the starry sky
with long wavy hair
and a giant shiny dress
And all I know
is that I'm very far from the beach
-Rafael R. Fraga
Kingdoms of the Night
The opera resonates
when everyone goes to sleep,
she shall begin
Alone, although
broader than the universe
G host carriages fly around
Shooting stars that shine fall down
on the horizon
When no one sees
It's the march
of the constellations and celestial bodies
Forgotten worlds
Dreams are reborn for those who dream
Souls that fly
welcome to the Lost Kingdoms of the Night
You who wake up when the world
goes to sleep
Children of the night
Today the solemn singing, along with the wind
carry you around through deep piano keys
Are the angels or the stars that sing for you?
At the resonating of so many voices
ancient harmony
that you've always known...
just forgott
It's the power of that Moon
the wish to go out in the streets
far to the forbidden hills
and all the hidden things
It's the eternal moment
For those who escaped time itself
And no longer want to sleep
It's the Lost Kingdoms of the Night
Beneath ethereal choruses of voices out there
After the cliffs
Where the lightnings fall on the sea
Without ceasing
-Rafael R. Fraga
.
Love, Nocturnal Love
On nights of terror
love knocks...
amidst layers of torpor
knocks on the window
It's those lipstick marks
in those deep dreams
into the night
tossing and turning in bed
Who do you love?
Who do you call?
It's no one, it's a ghost
because the real loves you have forgotten
On nights of terror
love calls...
lost outside
a wolf that howls
from afar
and never goes away
-Rafael R. Fraga
Love, Wild Love
When the house is on fire
On the dark night
And love knocks on the door
comming from another world
Where the veils are openned
Bringing one or two news
Something else to do
Withouth even having to say
It's the sense of the horizonte
Who awats
The heart bound to break the rules
Jumping fences
A new man is born
Time itself breaks
For a new story to be born
New fire to emerge from the Earth
Lady from the beyond
Locked in some room, dreaming
With her own escape
Bearing, in silence, the time
And so the rain falls down
Tension fades away
It's a sign
The sound of the thunder
N one knows what time it is
Anymore
It's all-in, all or nothing
Said the fairy
About this new legend
About some true love
That burns inside
Brings to light the secret being
Crossing the plains
The quest, the song, the heart
The love that is yet to be made
Confuses the Priest and his sermon
-Rafael R. Fraga
The Mountain
The mountain is there.
to take care of the Sun
What if the rivers
did not flow into the sea
where would life end up?
When the moon is full
It illuminates the sea at night.
and reveals the horizon
The wind brings stories
and autumn leaves
blows in my face peacefully
The fields are there
for those who want to escape
At night, nature helps
the lovers fleeing
to the paths of dawn
Midnight is a company
for those who don't know how to sleep
LIke me
I exist during the day
but at night I am alive
Night is a hiding place
for the soul
in secret
touching the moonlight
and follow freely to the sea.
All this endless life
Follows it's path
because the stars still shine
and
the mountain is there
to take care of the Sun...
-Rafael R. Fraga
She and the Sea
She waits
In the balcony
Waits for the waves of the sea
Below
Long black wavy hair
Waving at the wind of the coast
Long dress, from an old time
Sways at the breath
that comes from the horizon
She waits
A ship from beyond
She waits
For a love
She waits
For nothing, maybe
But waits...
For the noise of the crashing waves
against the seawall
For the moon, as lonely as she is
That, when is full
Her soul is complete
Lives in imagination
Became part of the sea
of the deep blue, and the breeze
that caresses her
This ocean is her lover
The swing of the waves
Is a massage
And when the wind kisses her
She sleeps peacefully
-Rafael R. Fraga
Middle of the Night
The middle of the night
My loved one
Where everything stops existing
Only the night and I remain
No God, No Devil
Only the dark sky outside
Inside here, old songs
Times in black and white
Things forbidden
in today's world
The time for them
to be understood
has passed
And the writting that never ceases
´cause the Being needs to Be
...whatever it's supposed to be
At this hour, time stops
The wind of divine wrath
and punishment
from the Sun cease
And the hideous people sleep
I am me
Dispite everything and everone
I'm real here
In the middle of the night
Illegally, being
-Rafael R. Fraga
Piano Man
Piano humour
wasn't quite understood
on that night
Piano moon
Is going to enter your window
on a full moon night
Piano, soon
will be rising to the clouds
aand reaching the stars
putting love back into his place
Where are those eyes that used to shine?
Your's and mine
Our pure smiles
with all emotions
This piano now will play
the final composition
and then will go to sleep
But it all will star again
A certain day, with a new song
From the dark nights
way inside the deep blue skyes
with no more goodbyes
Piano sadness
Piano nostalgy
Piano truth
From the old man back to the child
The rebirth follows his song
So that we can enter the gates of Heaven
through the secret chords
some day...
-Rafael R. Fraga
At your Service
This is life, here it is
You're not paying anything from before
When you were born
It was something original
And the stars turn around
Following the wind
Around you
As you look at yourself
Reborning
Remembering
Turning around
Towards some destination
Felling some love
While time is marching
(And how it marches...)
At your favour
The eternal is yours, is now
If you touch the light that calls you
To be who you were meant to be
Where everything simply Is
And always was...
No one stops the time of yours
Your treasure, you always deserved it
We all live in search of another life
And we cannot see it
But we can feel it
Floating like a feather, guiding us around
When I look into your eyes, I see...
We've been here before...
-Rafael R. Fraga
Thunderstorm
I live when theres thunder
That's when my life beggins
In the middle of the storm
Something always changes
Something always happens
It's the armed skyes
The endless road
Lightning on the horizon
The shaking of the earth
The call of the wind
I am writting
Alone in the air
Travelling out of time
The storm outside
Remembers me of
the real life
No opinions
Life where I exist
At the right time of my awakening
From illusion to emotion
The resounding of God
Infiny on an instant
Earth moves
Everything breaks through
While the skies are armed
-Rafael R. Fraga
Timeless, Endless
Clouds of memories
Fly around me
As I float among the waves
Of no final desnity
Where is the sun? Where is the moon?
I no longer know
I no longer belong
I’m free to be free
As the stars touch my dreaming
Delivering me to all the new meaning
A soul as it was made to be
Before it all
Here I am
Now
River, take me far
Far away
Show me another way
I will start again
Will be a star
Again
Timeless, endless
Among the blue depths of real love
And after all
I am still waiting for you
-Rafael R. Fraga
Childhood Dream
Childhood dreams
Dreams of snow
Lost dreams
In the wind
In the autumn leaves
On cold nights
Of winter dreams
From eternal time
When the moon was bigger
Time that stood still
and it didn't pass
because I'm still here
in childhood dreams
Of innocence and madness
of playing tricks with sweetness
of being alone, sleepless
looking at the autumn leaves
with nothing else to do
Rafael R. Fraga
Lady
The mystery, the dress
lost
in a bandit time
of the wind that was felt
Twilight
In the night
Your red lipstick
Troublesome look
Who has the full house? Who has the ace?
It doesn't matter,
is just the wind that blows
the lost sacred Prenda dress
stolen, ripped
that in the moon's breeze
you're wearing
Lonely legend in this bar of grace,
Peacefull, painless
waiting for the night
without a love
bite
-Rafael R. Fraga
Jade
Here comes Jade.
It's passing by
Sometimes on a camel
Or on your indian elephant
She is worth it.
It's worth a lot.
Worths something
That no one can afford.
Come and see
Make room
For the old Sun to rise
Jade's off to the sea
-Rafael R. Fraga
New Chord
Explodes in the cosmos
a new chord
And everything ceases...
For soon wake up again
Though fields
Grass of green
The sleeping towns
On the churches people smile for real
differently
The man goes out to the road assured of his destiny
Without stumbling
The woman will dedicate all her love
To her man, sons and life
Among the trees, she sings
Birds sing
among singing trees
The coastal waves are in full syncronicity
All in a unic moment
All it took was a new chord.
-Rafael R. Fraga
