Berta Vieira Poems

Beauty surrounds me
I hold my breath for fear that it may all disappear
The gentle hum of the hummingbirds wings
enticing my eyes to shed a tear
...

You speak to me
through unspoken words
tears replace them
your thoughts unheard
...

As I watch you watch the wind through the trees,
I wonder what your gently heart sees.

I see the enchantment,
...

My walk up the mountain is intense,
Yet, I continue to climb

The storms rage their fury upon me
...

How do you live...
When the fire that lights inside your heart
has lost its embers glow
and the sweet scent of the roses perfume
...

You did not wait for me
I don't know why.
You did not wait for me
instead you said goodbye.
...

My heart aches with the pain
that I have deep inside
Hidden behind a mask of happiness
my sorrow I try to hide
...

My soul travels on a boat
through the stormy sea
My mind envelopes thoughts of you and me.
...

Fallen angel...
you've lived your life so carefree,
your future sorrow you did not foresee.
...

Rose so dark
your soul reflects my gloom.
Your thorns so harsh,
fill my being with doom.
...
