Consider Me Dead

Valencia - Consider Me Dead

The other night, my best friend from back home texted to say “I miss you,” and I responded “You don’t show it.” It was late, and didn’t go much further than that— but we don’t bother keeping up anymore. We don’t communicate. We’ve grown apart.

Also, this tune’s for Shelby.. because I just turned her onto Valencia on Sunday when driving she & her sissy Adrianne (who I would totally date) around. And not Shayla, who wanted me to post a different Valencia tune soon. heh

Desperate Romantics - Sonnet - Supreme Surrender by Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Dante Gabriel Rosetti - Supreme Surrender

read by Aidan Turner

O all the spirits of love that wander by

Along the love-sown fallowfield of sleep

My lady lies apparent; and the deep

Calls to the deep; and no man sees but I.

The bliss so long afar, at length so nigh,

Rests there attained. Methinks proud Love must weep

When Fate’s control doth from his harvest reap

The sacred hour for which the years did sigh.

First touched, the hand now warm around my neck

Taught memory long to mock desire: and lo!

Across my breast the abandoned hair doth flow,

Where one shorn tress long stirred the longing ache:

And next the heart that trembled for its sake

Lies the queen-heart in sovereign overthrow.
