This poem was written for a beautiful woman, talented writer and dear friend hailing from Lisbon, Portugal – Carla Milho. She’s a frequent source of inspiration, in my heart and often on my mind…
She came to me
One autumn eve
On the winds of a dream, with a kiss
Sultry green eyes
And ruby lips
Beating hearts, drumming songs shared in bliss
As morning dawned
Night slipped away
All alone, missing her, wanting more
Now, when I hear
The sound of wings
Angelic – she’s the one I long for
