It was a dark and stormy night... (sic)

Let us begin, therefore, with what I estimate one of the very best displays of penmanship that I ever put forth - without getting sidetracked in the least either!

I dedicate this to my father,
João Jacinto Borges Pimentel.

The Foreshadow Canticle

Take me out of oblivion

life-giver, heart-maker

Give flesh to my soul

earth-shaker, fire-breaker

Make whole all of my spirits

sea-mover, breath-taker

A part of me all frailties

star-designer, sun-wrecker

So that they counterbalance my pride

Soul-taker, soul-maker

And that shall suffice amply

in taking me out of non-existence

So that I can shine as brightly

as You meant me to shine

from the very Beginning

from the Dawn of Time

Ravish me Greatness Incarnate

So I can shed this mortal coil

and the stench of death

in which I toil

One has to put forth one's best, to launch any enterprise... And so, here it is! I admit that I will not always be this serious, this gloomy, this dramatic - but I had to initially post, here, my first ultra-serious bit of poetry -one might say, verily, outright glum bit of poetry; reflective of that gloom and doom of the times that we live in as of the inner turmoils of each and every artist or luminous soul there is or that ever was, out there - as the very first example of true luminous writing...  Enjoy!  Sempre Por O Melhor...
