When your mind is born
Give me an eye of sadness
Because life becomes death
In your core of sweet madness

(VL, Carcavelos, 1997)

  1. You've got to stop reminding me of the poems I've kept for myself through the years. Look what you're doing... Now I have to show you this one:


    Care-charmer Sleep, son of the sable Night,
    Brother to Death, in silent darkness born:
    Relieve my languish, and restore the light,
    With dark forgetting of my cares, return;

    And let the day be time enough to mourn
    The shipwreck of my ill-adventur'd youth:
    Let waking eyes suffice to wail their scorn,
    Without the torment of the night's untruth.

    Cease dreams, th' imagery of our day-desires,
    To model forth the passions of the morrow;
    Never let rising sun approve you liars,
    To add more grief to aggravate my sorrow.

    Still let me sleep, embracing clouds in vain;
    And never wake to feel the day's disdain.

    Samuel Daniel (from Delia)

  2. I´m glad to have "made you" share this poem with me... If only to have the privilege of reading such beautiful words... but, perhaps, a bit more than that.
