Poems

(Porto, 2023)

I write as a way of making sense of my feelings. I write my emotions, raw, vulnerable and with few judgments. My rhyme is simple. I write because I can‘t take a picture of a feeling. Writing is the closest I can get to preserving a moment and making it last forever in my memory. Or to let go of feelings that consume my soul. I write because it leaks from my fingers. I write because I‘m in love with someone and I cannot tell them. I write because something or someone inspires me a lot. I write, even though words are never enough.

Below you will find several poems, written in Portuguese, on my cellphone notepad, as they come to me. The images were generated by me with AI, inspired by the poems. PS: They are much better appreciated on a computer.
