Love Is woven of waiting and missed meetings

"De desencontro e espera o amor se tece", so wrote the Angolan poet Mário António Fernandes de Oliveir: "Love Is woven of waiting and missed meetings".


                                        And did you get what
                                        you wanted from this life, even so?
                                        I did.
                                       And what did you want?
                                       To call myself beloved, to feel myself
                                        beloved on the earth.
