But I can't stay this time 'cause I don't love you anymore. Please stay where you are. Don't come any closer. Don't try to change my mind. I'm being cruel to be kind. I can't love you in the dark. It feels like we're oceans apart. There is so much space between us. Maybe we're already defeated.
Sonnets of Dark Love. Paul Archer has translated into English Lorca's Sonetos del Amor Oscuro, Sonnets of Dark Love. Please click on the titles further down this page to read the poems. The sequence of poems were written in 1935, inspired by Lorca's love affair with Rafael Rodriguez Rapún. They were not published until 1983 when they appeared Hey, baby, I'm just about starving tonight. I'm dying for some action. I'm sick of sittin' round here trying to write this book. I need a love reaction. Hey, baby, gimme just one look. You can't start a fire. You can't start a fire without a spark. This gun's for hire. Even if we're just dancing in the dark. JqFnRLx.
