O estouro em forma de jato
Que leva longe o que vem de dentro
É apenas reflexo da intensidade
Que dominava corpo e mente
Ainda escorre em forma de gotas
Na mais física tradução do desejo
Que o acaso lhe fez sentir…
Uma curtida nem texto meu
E o agradecimento subsequente
Numa forma de expressar gentilmente
Pelo tempo que ela a isso dedicou
Aproveito e leio o que escreve
As coisas que posta, numa busca sútil
De tentar entender um pouco mais
Não esperava resposta, mas tive
E do que era nada se fez conversa
Descubro que o que me inspira
É a mesma vida que a inspira
Embora ela seja menos sútil nas palavras
E mostre de forma mais clara
O que são seus desejos e vontades
Bem como deixa bem claro
As cores em que são escritas…
Mas a maior surpresa, inesperada
Foi ela me mostrar um texto meu
Um de meus tantos textos antigos
Que ela disse ter predileção…
A vida tem mistérios e momentos
E nesse instante algo se criou
Faz tempo que não sentia tesão
Ao reler algo escrito por mim
Mas desta vez ocorreu e veio forte
E mesmo sem nada saber e nem saber
Em minha mente se fez palco
No qual ela se fez a atriz principal
E encenou cada cena dedicadamente
De forma tão clara e eloquente
Que eu podia lhe ver em minha frente
Revivendo cada um dos momentos
Que me fizerem escrever o que li…
Não sei o que você sentiu
Não sei dizer o que você pensou
(Descaradamente copiado do legião)
Mas o que pensei e senti
Se fez tão intenso que se tornou jato
Que ainda goteja lentamente
Gota a gota sobre sua língua
E o brilho que vejo em teus olhos
Mesmo sem jamais tê-la visto
Me faz entender que o que houve
Foi apenas um leve reflexo
De algo que a vida deveria fazer
Se tornar mais que apenas um sonho…

creating character playlists is hard sometimes because i tend to only include music i think the character would listen to. and it's HARD when you know the character doesn't go out of their way to listen to that much music. but greg house.... greg house. guys. we KNOW homeboy goes out of his way to learn shit for piano, to learn shit to annoy people, and all that good stuff. he likes blues. he likes classical. he listens to shitty pop. he has a chick webb poster. he knows a van halen solo on guitar. HE'S THE PERFECT CHARACTER PLAYLIST SPECIMEN. here is my greg house playlist, lol. LIFE IS GOOD!
