Land of Ginjinha
A Poem about a distant memory of a Ginjinha-fueled day in Lisbon, Portugal
Heartbreakers glide the blues
Nothing but tied-up shoes
No excuses to lose
Restless souls trail for clues
Drifting clouds hilltop views
Giver of smoke to ruse
Wanderlust murmur coos
Blazing light to seduce
Blood lips cherry-soaked hues
Savage kisses of fools
Loving child of jewels
Mighty ruins of rules
“Ginjinha or simply Ginja, is a Portuguese liqueur made by infusing ginja berries in alcohol and adding sugar together with other ingredients, with cloves and/or cinnamon sticks being the most common. Ginjinha is served in a shot form with a piece of the fruit in the bottom of the cup.” (Source: Wikipedia)

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.
