Poem in Response

in

Having read “AmanhΓ£ Talvez” (Portuguese, meaning “Maybe Tomorrow”), written by a talented writer, lovely woman and good friend hailing from Lisbon, Carla Milho – wherein she contemplates meaningful expressions of emotion, aspiring to the present (carpe diem) rather than tomorrow – I was inspired to write this poem…

It’s what she has
Inside her heart
That makes mine skip a beat

Her good nature
And precious soul
Accentuate the sweet

She’s the one who warms my heart
And the light by which I see
What it means to be alive
Here and now, and yet to be

Green eyes serene, her pair is nice
– a golden slice of paradise

To make it four and evermore
Two happy hearts, to underscore

I pen these words
With hope she’ll read
This message of the heart

That if someday
We ever meet
In love, we’ll never part
