Do not go gentle into that good nightRage! Rage!

Do Not Stand At My Grave And WeepDo not stand at my grave and weepI am not there. I do not sleep.I am a thousand winds that blow.I am the diamond glints on snow.I am the sunlight on ripened grain.I am the gentle autumn rain.When you awaken in the morning's hushI am the swift uplifting rushOf quiet birds in circled flight.I am the soft stars that sh…

L'amour dans la nuitParfois, quand tu t'allonges près de moi, ton corps est toujours dans mes bras Je me retrouve à moitié amoureux de ton forme à peine respirante et à moitié amoureuse avec la source silencieuse et muette d'où tu viens. Je me trouve toucher tes lèvres avec les miennes sentir leur chaleur et baisser la tête pour entendre ta respira…

Melody in the Wind's LamentIn twilight's sigh, where shadows creep,Beneath the moon's soft light, I keep.I am the echo in the silent stream,A fleeting vision in your dream.I am the rose, with petals pale,That whispers secrets in the gale.In every tear that softly falls,In whispered sighs within stone walls.I am the melody in the wind's lament,The f…

When your eyes are tiredthe world is tired also.When your vision has goneno part of the world can find you.Time to go into the darkwhere the night has eyesto recognize its own.There you can be sureyou are not beyond love.The dark will be your hometonight.The night will give you a horizonfurther than you can see.You must learn one thing.The world wa…

In Love's WakeIn dawn's gentle grasp, where silence lies,Remnants of the lost softly rise.Love lingers in the morning's hue,A memory, steadfast and true.With a spirit fierce, wild, and free,Your essence swirls in every sea.In waves that crash and tides that flow,Your strength in me, forever aglow.Words soft as night, a soothing spell,Whispering sec…

LOVER'S LAMENTIn the depths of my heart, a melancholic tuneEchoes through the chambers, like a mournful moonA love lost, a heartbreak so profoundMy soul aches, without a soundI wander through the city streets, aloneA ghostly figure, with a heart of stoneMemories flood my mind, of love once pureNow shattered, broken, and obscureI search for solace, …

This track was inspired by the poem NEW LOVE, NEW LIFE by Amy LevyShe, who so long has lainStone-stiff with folded wings,Within my heart againThe brown bird wakes and sings.Brown nightingale, whose strainIs heard by day, by night,She sings of joy and pain,Of sorrow and delight.'Tis true, - in other daysHave I unbarred the door;He knows the walks an…

The More Loving One by W. H. AudenLooking up at the starts, I know quite wellThat, for all they care, I can go to hell...Were all stars to disappear or die,I should learn to look at an empty skyAnd feel its total dark sublime,Though this might take me a little time.Syeda Rahman

*Translated in Brazilian Portuguese - see below*E agora você é meu.Descanse com o seu sonho no meu sonho.Amor, dor e trabalho deveriam todos dormir agora.A noite gira sobre suas rodas invisíveis, e você é puro ao meu lado como uma brasa adormecida.Ninguém mais, o amor, dormirá nos meus sonhos.Você irá, nós iremos juntos sobre as águas do tempo.Ning…
