Bertrand

In Lisbon’s heart, a time-worn treasure lies,Livraria Bertrand, where knowledge never dies,The oldest bookstore in the world’s embrace,A sanctuary of stories, an intellectual space. With history’s whispers upon each shelf,A literary haven, where hearts find themselves,Founded in 1732, the world it’s seen,Pages filled with dreams, both old and keen. Worn wooden floors and antique tomes,InContinue reading “Bertrand”

From ancient ovens, where secrets reside, Flaky layers, golden-brown and wide, Custard, a treasure, creamy and smooth, The “Pasteis de Belem,” a taste to soothe.

Verdant Beauty Bliss

In Alentejo’s hold, where sun does kiss,The rolling plains with golden light aglow,Where olive groves in verdant beauty bliss,And cork oaks stand like sentinels in row. Thy Roman temple, noble and so grand,A sentinel of time, stands proud and tall,As if to guard the secrets of this land,In shadowed past, where ancient voices call. ThyContinue reading “Verdant Beauty Bliss”

Meu Propósito

In Lisbon’s heart, where golden sunsets kiss,A tapestry of beauty softly weaves,Pastel hues embrace each cobbled street’s bliss,Where ancient tales still whisper through the leaves. From Belem’s tower to Alfama’s grace,The city’s soul in fado’s notes reside,With saudade’s touch, emotions interlace,In labyrinthine alleys, dreams abide. The Tagus flows, an elegant blue thread,As castle walls preserveContinue reading “Meu Propósito”

Évora

In Praça de Giraldo, life’s vibrant flow,Where stories intertwine, where hearts aglow.Cafés and fountains, a lively scene’s array,In Evora’s heart, where night turns into day. The Temple of Diana, a relic from the past,Roman echoes in stone, a steadfast mast.Standing through the ages, an ancient wonder’s hold,Time’s silent sentinel, as histories unfold. Capela dos Ossos,Continue reading “Évora”

Pessoa

In Portugal’s embrace, where the Tagus gently flows,I ventured forth to learn what whispered history knows,Of a poet enigmatic, Fernando Pessoa’s name,Whose words ignited fires in the heart’s poetic flame. Beneath Lisbon’s golden sun, in Alfama’s ancient streets,I sought the traces of Pessoa’s literary feats,Amidst the fado’s mournful song, I found his soul’s embrace,In theContinue reading “Pessoa”
