Manuela Cardiga - Guilty Pleasures and Culinary Treasures

LOOK THEE HOW
AGE HATH ROBBED
FAIR YOUTH
AND WINTER SOBBED
THE SNOW
UPON YOUR HAIR

Someone said:
How lovely
The mirrored lies
Those lips made 

For scarlet sighs

Oh, but I,
Having seen more dawns
And dawning regrets
Then most folks forgets
Denies them easy ingress.

For entry and success
First, must some be blessed
With stubborn insight,
Or else be born
Hopelessly blind.
