"danae" poems
Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white; Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk; Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font: The fire-fly wakens: waken thou with me. Now droops the milk-white peacock like a ghost, And like a ghost she glimmers on to me. Now lies the earth all Danae to the stars, And all thy heart lies open unto me. Now slides the silent meteor on, and leaves A shining furrow, as thy thoughts in me. Now folds the lily all her sweetness up, And slips into the ***** of the lake: So fold thyself, my dearest, thou, and slip Into my ***** and be lost in me.

The Princess: Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal
Give me more love or more disdain; The torrid, or the frozen zone, Bring equal ease unto my pain; The temperate affords me none; Either extreme, of love, or hate, Is sweeter than a calm estate. Give me a storm; if it be love, Like Danae in that golden show’r I swim in pleasure; if it prove Disdain, that torrent will devour My vulture-hopes; and he’s possess’d Of heaven, that’s but from hell releas’d. Then crown my joys, or cure my pain; Give me more love, or more disdain.

Mediocrity In Love Rejected
Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white; Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk; Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font: The fire-fly wakens: waken thou with me. Now droops the milkwhite peacock like a ghost, And like a ghost she glimmers on to me. Now lies the Earth all Danae to the stars, And all thy heart lies open unto me. Now slides the silent meteor on, and leaves A shining furrow, as thy thoughts in me. Now folds the lily all her sweetness up, And slips into the ***** of the lake: So fold thyself, my dearest, thou, and slip Into my ***** and be lost in me.

Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal, Now the White
Was this His coming! I had hoped to see A scene of wondrous glory, as was told Of some great God who in a rain of gold Broke open bars and fell on Danae: Or a dread vision as when Semele Sickening for love and unappeased desire Prayed to see God’s clear body, and the fire Caught her brown limbs and slew her utterly: With such glad dreams I sought this holy place, And now with wondering eyes and heart I stand Before this supreme mystery of Love: Some kneeling girl with passionless pale face, An angel with a lily in his hand, And over both the white wings of a Dove.

Ave Maria Gratia Plena
Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white; Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk; Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font: The firefly wakens: waken thou with me. Now droops the milk-white peacock like a ghost, And like a ghost she glimmers on to me. Now lies the Earth all Danae to the stars, And all thy heart lies open unto me. Now slides the silent meteor on, and leaves A shining furrow, as thy thoughts in me. Now folds the lily all her sweetness up, And slips into the ***** of the lake: So fold thyself, my dearest, thou, and slip Into my ***** and be lost in me.

The Lion's Sin
The night winds howled--the billows dashed Against the tossing chest; And Danae to her broken heart Her slumbering infant pressed. "My little child"--in tears she said-- "To wake and weep is mine, But thou canst sleep--thou dost not know Thy mother's lot, and thine. "The moon is up, the moonbeams smile-- They tremble on the main; But dark, within my floating cell, To me they smile in vain. "Thy folded mantle wraps thee warm, Thy clustering locks are dry, Thou dost not hear the shrieking gust, Nor breakers booming high. "As o'er thy sweet unconscious face A mournful watch I keep, I think, didst thou but know thy fate, How thou wouldst also weep. "Yet, dear one, sleep, and sleep, ye winds That vex the restless brine-- When shall these eyes, my babe, be sealed As peacefully as thine!"

Version Of A Fragment Of Simonides
One night after drinking with some friends; Maybe we might talk to each other tomorrow it only depends. In the car with my friend driving through the muck; I just realized we got hit by a truck. All of a sudden i was rushed to the hospital all badly scraped and battered; My face all ****** and my clothes all tattered. I remember my mother holding my hand as i gave my last sigh; I told her i love her and we said goodbye. I am in heaven right now and inside i feel empty; Cause life would be a drag without me.

Tragic Death (Dedicated to Danae Dupuis)
La tarde muere envuelta en su tristeza. Paisaje tierno para soñadoras miradas de mujer, exploradoras de su melancolía en la belleza. Danae apoya en sus manos la cabeza. El ambiente que el sol último dora es una leve, dulce y turbadora caricia que la oprime con pereza. Un pajarillo gris, desde una vana rama, canta a la tarde lenta y rosa. Oro de sol entra por la ventana y Danae, indiferente y ojerosa, siente el alma transida de desgana y se deja, pensando en otra cosa.
