Acqua di profumo

My favorite: the sensual scent of roses.

Kapot

Donkere wolkenmassa's stapelen
zich boven de groene
boomtoppen en laten deze
verschijnen en verdwijnen
door scherpe flitsen van licht. Zoute
druppels verstoren het zicht
naar de wereld die ik zo
goed ken, maar die
nu niet meer is en nooit
meer zal zijn.

Possession

I must to posses you utterly

And utterly must you to posses me;

So even if that dreamers tale
Of heaven and hell be true

There shall be two spirits rived together

Either in whatever peace be heaven

Or in the icy whirlwind that is hell

For those who loved each other more than God,
So that the other spirits shaal cry out:

"Ahi! Look how the ancient love yet holds to them
That these two ghosts are neven driven apart
But kiss with shadowy kisses and still take
Joy from the mingling of their misty limbs!"
