Maria C. Pires Costa Poems

Dwelling in the realms of verse
Protected by God's Mercy
Love speaks in a way diverse.
It pays homage to courage,
...

At dawn, when we suddenly awake,
We feel the innocence of Blake.
As the day unfolds, on struggling most
There comes reflection, like roads of Frost.
...

They stand still in majesty
The abundant green foliage
Covers them with beauty
Worth a rime of Coleridge.
...

We were not there,
But we really hope our impression can be fair...
We simply got a view
From a read on 'The Rainbow Gathering'.
...

Is there any war worth its aims and targets?
Shall we accept winners and losers
Keeping on fighting and threatening with continuous air strikes?
...

If time flies,
you should learn
from the cries...
You should think thoughtfully
...

They come and quickly go
Revealing joy, concerns, even cries.
Incredible stories we didn't know
Lively unfold before our eyes.
...

Natural catastrophes devastate,
and send a different 'warning',
but most rulers keep pretending
it might be a matter of fate...
...

I wonder why this happens...
A regular sleep does not obey yet
The heart suddenly reacts
Everything around is different, in fact.
...

Caring words, noble feelings, wise thoughts
Have been enchanting from afar.
A friendship so true, warm, and soft
Worth being a tune for your guitar.
...
