Quito Arantes

Ode to the Four Winds Quito Arantes

"I descend in your streams of crystalline waters, as if tomorrow was right there. As if the world conspire a lotus flower to strike my uncertainties. Beyond the barrenness, the innocuous landscape blooms within my soul. Days are night and nights are day. Time eases the nostalgia in small petals when we see ourselves growing close to each other."Francisco Manuel Matos Arantes (Quito Arantes) was born in Luanda, Angola, on the 9th July, 1960. He lives in the city of Barcelos, Portugal. He dedicates his free time to photography and writing. He is a member of the Portuguese Society of Authors. This is the second book of poetry published by the author.
