Waltz of the Lovers Joined Forever

(IX: From ‘Cancionero Y Romancero De Ausencias’)

 They never departed

the garden of embraces.

And round the red rose

of kisses they travelled.

 

Hurricanes wanted

to part them with rancour.

And sharp axes,

and bony lightning.

 

They added to a land

of pallid hands.

They measured cliffs

impelled by the wind

between molten mouths.

They delved through shipwrecks

their arms each time

deeper in their bodies.

Persecuted, drowned,

by a great helplessness

of memories and moons,

of November and March,

they saw themselves blown

like inconstant dust:

they saw themselves blown,

but always embracing

View Article  Sonnet 27 - William Shakespeare
Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
But then begins a journey in my head,
To work my mind, when body's work's expired:
For then my thoughts, from far where I abide,
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
Looking on darkness which the blind do see
Save that my soul's imaginary sight
Presents thy shadow to my sightless view,
Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,
Makes black night beauteous and her old face new.
Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,

For thee and for myself no quiet find.
