Bernedita Rosinha Pinto Poems

Mirrors don't shine
they are reflections of what we think
what we do, not how we look;
Gods can't change the disposition
...

Varied are those moments of life,
someone hopes to laugh,
while someone sits to cry;
someone hopes to love and wed,
...

If you opt to think, act or speak wrong,
it is not the mistake of another
it is but a crime against your own opportunity;
if you choose to believe you were righteous
...

Unlock the mystery of bequest
inheritance is not about diamonds and wealth
but it comes with a thousand promises
of living by the expectations, by the hopes
...

Don't bury me
just because I died;
Bury me
with tears in your eyes;
...

Love is the supreme emotion
it rolls itself in all directions
love has no limits and boundaries
love ventures in all hearts
...

I want to live by the day,
I want to wake up with honesty in my heart;

I want to drink water from the fresh fountains and wells
...

My thoughts are unclear of tomorrow
just like the wind that drifts over the seas,
swaying and rumbling moves the fear in me
as I am decked in bridal clothes so red
...

Lest the sword falls,
lest the guillotine drops,
lest the noose tightens,
lest the electric chair electrocutes,
...

Yes, we will do the same
all what you did to make
time worthwhile, love valuable.
we will do it in double measure
...
