Analysis of Flor Pequenina

Renato Sakate 1978 (Botucatu)



Tu sabes, grande amor, que não existe
dores mais belas que estas, da tua ausência!
Sou um príncipe perdido de excelência,
um trôpego mendigo que persiste...

Pago o dobro aos ladrões de toda crença
a fim de renovar esse altar triste
que, de sonhos ousados, não desiste
antes de toda treva ou recompensa.

Porquanto meu passeio é uma neblina
meus lábios se entorpecem de desejos
e meus sonhos se entregam à rotina...

Mas lembro, no silêncio de teus beijos,
que a flor mais bela é aquela pequenina
que se esconde nas pedras do desprezo.
