Spring moonlight

She rose among us where we lay.
She wept, we put our work away.
She chilled our laughter, stilled our play;
And spread a silence there.

And darkness shot across the sky,
And once, and twice, we heard her cry…

La coquette

Jezebel, what a belle
Looks like a princess in her new dress

Do you really want to know, she said

Every winter was a war, she said
I want to get what’s mine

Quotes: “Alone”, by Heart

Naked soul

Soy un alma desnuda en estos versos,
Alma desnuda que angustiada y sola
Va dejando sus pétalos dispersos.

Alma que como el viento vaga inquieta
Y ruge cuando está sobre los mares,
Y duerme dulcemente en una grieta.

I am a naked soul inside these verses
A naked soul in anguish and solitude
Leaving behind its scattered petals

A soul that, like wind, wanders restless
And roars when wanders over the seas
And sleeps gently inside a crevice

Alma que fuera fácil dominarla
Con sólo un corazón que se partiera
Para en su sangre cálida regarla.

A soul that could be easily dominated
With only a heart that could be broken
To water it in its own warm bloodshed.

Alma que ha de morir de una fragancia,
De un suspiro, de un verso en que se ruega,
Sin perder, a poderlo, su elegancia.

A soul that will die over a fragrance
Over a sigh, over a plea within a verse
Without losing, if possible, its elegance.

Quotes: “Alma desnuda” (“Naked soul”), Poem by Alfonsina Storni (poorly translated by me)

In the corner

Every whisper, of every waking hour
I’m choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no I’ve said too much

That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spot-light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don’t know if I can do it
Oh no I’ve said too much
I haven’t said enough

Inside my mind

In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
And speaks my name

And do I dream again? For now I find
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind

Quotes: “The music of the night” from “Phantom of the Opera” by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Winds mourn for thee

Her heart was fed with love-springs sweet,
And in her face you’d see it beat
To hear the sound of welcome feet —
And were not mine so, Isabel?

At dead of night I seem to see
Thy fair, pale features constantly
Upturned in silent prayer for me,
O’er moveless clasped hands, Isabel!
I call thee, thou dost not reply;
The stars gleam coldly on thine eye,
As like a dream thou flittest by,
And leav’st me weeping, Isabel!

Quotes: “Isabel”, poem by James Russe4l Lowell

Alone I wander

I thought I saw your light
flicker in the window
But it was only my eyes
reflecting my despair

And alone I will wander
through the dark dark water
Until I collect every shattered
piece of my broken heart
And wait for a reason to start again

I thought I heard your footsteps
coming up the stairs,
But it was only my heart,
pounding in my ears

Quotes: “Dark Water”, song by Malika Zarra & Amy Lee (translation from the poem that inspired the song)

Past glories

Ambition was my idol, which was broken

   Before the shrines of Sorrow and of Pleasure;

And the two last have left me many a token

   O’er which reflection may be made at leisure

Now, like Friar Bacon’s brazen head, I’ve spoken,

   ‘Time is, Time was, Time’s past’, a chymic treasure

Is glittering youth, which I have spent betimes—

My heart in passion, and my head on rhymes.

Ruling all but myself
