M.ª Leonor Costa (Poesias da Nonô)

 Valentine's Day, my heartbeat with longing for you.

For those who wonder where I am? I answer: I'm around!

I have been absent from here, however writing continues to be part of my life.

I've been circulating, meeting new people, getting out of my comfort zone, listening, and learning.

Here is a summary of the main literary events of recent times:

01/01/2023 - I started drafting a new book of Poetry.

17/01/2023 - I gave the first autograph signing of the year, at the request of a person who bought my book Nonô's Poetry Anthology.

17/01/2023 - 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. - First Creative Writing session on Femininism(s) - at Galveias Palace Library.

18 a 20/01/2023 - 25th edition of the Course "Online Writing Techniques: Websites, Intranet, E-Mail, Newsletter and Social Networks" - INA (without photo).

24/01/2023 - 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. - Second Creative Writing Session on Femininism(s) - at Galveias Palace Library.

25/01/2023 - First Wild Writing Session - online (no photo).

04/02/2023 - 15h-19h40 - Afternoon of preparation for contests and future of Nonô Poetry, at the Municipal Library of Sintra.

04/02/2023 - Submission of two poems for Wislawa Szymborska Poetry Contest.

08/02/2023 - Second wild writing session - online (no photography).

And to be able to focus, I had to say no to so many other opportunities that came my way.

Lately, although I haven't created videos, I was happy to learn that Nonô Poetry channel on YouTube has two new subscribers. This is because all of you are important to me.

Besides literature and poetic writing, in my spare time, I also dedicate my time to numerous activities. Here are a few:

- Gym (Belly Dancing, Zumba, Cycling, Localized, Pound, Pilates, Yoga and Machine).

- Trips and walks in nature and on the beach.

- Parties, events, and concerts.

- I relax and meditate.

And I grab every opportunity to feel alive and above all happy.

I dedicate the following love poem to you:

Day of love

Day of love

For single and married

Today there's no room for pain

Let's get excited.

Our hearts are beating

It's time to give

While some discourse

Others prefer to gift.

Together we are stronger

As friends or companions

If you're alone don't mind

There are still ladies and gentlemen.

Between evil and well-wishers

Awaken affection

Stop suffering now

Open your heart!

For today I say goodbye with love, kisses, and a strong hug, see you soon.

 We are approaching St. Valentine's Day, when, in Portugal, Valentine's Day is celebrated. Inspired by this event, I wrote this poem, whose theme is part of one of the subjects I have been developing entitled Soulmate.

Acende uma vela ou incenso

Afasta tudo aquilo que te faz mal

Enche o peito de modo intenso

Faz uma purga emocional

Emotional purge

Light a candle or incense

Keep everything that hurts you away

Intensely fills the chest

Make an emotional purge

This poem is not mine

I am the woman who kills herself for the love of you

Andreia C. Faria (born in1984)

I am the woman who kills herself for the love of you

and the woman for the love of someone who dies

I am the boy that is like cloudy water

in the woman for whom you die

the wet mouth of the phone where she expiates

violent thoughts like feathers

I'm the feather that opens the sheets for you

the wood chip on the table

the standby blade

that nudity bears fruit

I am what hurts the boy

and the clothes that cover it

I am the brightness of the window where the woman

swings 

Dialogue between Poems

The woman I am does not kill herself for anyone

Nonô (born in 1975)

The woman I am does not kill herself for anyone

Nourish love for others, love yourself too

Includes male and female energies

It's balance of opposite poles

It just pleases some tastes

Does not feed violent thoughts

I am the one who gives you the horizons of freedom

I let her live with intense truth

The one that doesn't hold her

in a soul

I'm an image of calm

A rebel in the silence

I am the manifestation of nature

what I believe in

Prove me that I’m wrong

Prove me that I'm wrong

Through your actions

Tired of being cheated

I avoid disappointments.

Do your part

Don't make me promises

Loving is art

That flows without haste!

Avoid making me cry

I don't create expectations

Let yourself be loved

Without prerogatives.

What I see

Does not meet conditions

I choose who I kiss well

I protect my emotions.
