Sample Verses by Vasco R. A. Pires
Cape-Verdian Woman
Capeverdian woman
I see you in my dreams.
Your face, as bright & warm as the beaches of Maio.
Passion, as hot as the heart of Fogo.
Beautiful & mysterious as Brava.
You move with the rhythm of Sao Tiago.
You are exciting like Sao Vicente.
Boa Vista,is in your eyes.
You are ageless like the Dragoeiro* tree of Sao Nicolau.
You have the lushness of Santo Antao.
You have the fragility of Santa Luzia.
Your smile is bright & gleaming as Sal.
Capeverdean woman
I am in love
with you.
