Poemas vencedores
Ma vie
My life was always charred,
Everything’s always fallen apart,
Living in solitude like I have been barred,
How hurt I was with a simple broken heart.
Then you came along to brighten my day,
You made me feel special in every way,
And for all it’s worth today
I’m glad you never went away.
Taking a look in the pitch black sky,
A constellation formed in the shape of your eyes,
The beautiful gaze that had taught me right,
I had already known it was true love at first sight.
But I know you’ll leave and my heart will break,
It’ll shatter away, desintegrate,
Like grains of sand phasing through a hand,
But I guess that’s just fate.
Fábio Josue Ferreira, 10.º B
Suffer for love
Love is like a flower
Each petal is a problem
The stem is the support that keeps us alive
Each petal falls
It’s less a hope alive
The past are burnt leaves
The future are leaves to be burned
In the end there will be nothing left but the field
Waiting for new flowers
To create new fires
A storm is approaching
But it’s a different storm
It’s not a fire
It doesn´t shine
I’ve never seen something so dark
It’s the final storm
And it’s ready to destroy everything
Ready to finish this once and for all…
João Marques, 10.º G
