Poems from Teresinka Pereira

That of Teresinka Pereira is beautiful poetry which speaks directly to the soul. She manages to concentrate so many thoughts and emotions in few lines. Poet and reader may be miles apart physically, but poetry makes them one whenever the latter reads it and lets it permeate him/her.

JUST POEMS

      

My poems come

from astonishment

but they are thoughts

thrilling with reason.

After I throw the verses

onto a white paper

my being rests in the shadow

while in my veins

the empty night flows

towards the dawn.

I desire to fly

to a distant place,

to visit friends with whom

I would look at the sad Moon

that dies alone

waiting for the Sun.

SHADOWS

      

The shadows

never mistaken!

They follow us

ready to take the

feet support

from the scaffold.

However, memory lasts,

and a kiss

in the past

resists all the reason

of time.
