This poem was written for a dear friend, Carla Milho – a very talented writer and lovely lady from Lisbon, Portugal – who is a frequent source of my inspiration, often on my mind and in my heart…
Beneath starlit skies
Passion lights our eyes
Drawing near, love invites summer fun
These moments, sublime
– always right on time
When we feel our two hearts beat as one
