Ricardo Miguel Silva - Writing

Paradox Angel

chasing the vertigo
this omen, paradox of unpredictability
eyes never enough, they seem to be blinds
instead of unveiling what is beyond
what lies behind your skin
simply hear my heart beat
teach your ear to listen what will come next
as you get used to this circling, repeating and hypnotic
streaming off the beat
sine wave touching new borders

I hope you don't grow numb of these repeated stimuli
I hope you have the strength to find beauty in this growing line
avoiding faded euphoria

near the edge I keep faith, I refuse to open my eyes again
trust keeps me, you hold me near the abyss
in your embrace, your warm embrace

I could be falling, I wouldn’t feel
I could be right here, just here: in you.

(falling, missing time)
