Bem-vindos

"Friends within darkness" é um blog de escrita criativa. Todas as semanas são lançados desafios entre os colaboradores e publicados na barra lateral direita do blog. Depois, cada um terá sete dias para escrever um texto ou poema relacionado com o desafio e colocá-lo on-line. Neste momento somos três colaboradores: Alice in wonderland, pantalaimon e Ricardo. Gostamos de ler e de escrever e acima de tudo, da criatividade. Se gostares também, esperemos que voltes e votes nos teus textos favoritos. 

I can remember starving in a 

small room in a strange city 

shades pulled down, listening to 

classical music 

I was young I was so young it hurt like a knife 

inside 

because there was no alternative except to hide as long 

as possible-- 

not in self-pity but with dismay at my limited chance: 

trying to connect. 

the old composers -- Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, 

Brahms were the only ones who spoke to me and 

they were dead. 

finally, starved and beaten, I had to go into 

the streets to be interviewed for low-paying and 

monotonous 

jobs 

by strange men behind desks 

men without eyes men without faces 

who would take away my hours 

break them 

piss on them. 

now I work for the editors the readers the 

critics 

but still hang around and drink with 

Mozart, Bach, Brahms and the 

Bee 

some buddies 

some men 

sometimes all we need to be able to continue alone 

are the dead 

rattling the walls 

that close us in.  

Friends within darkness, Charles Bukowski
