When They Come Alive Poem by Constantine P. Cavafy

When They Come Alive

Rating: 2.7


Try to keep them, poet,
those erotic visions of yours,
however few of them there are that can be stilled.
Put them, half-hidden, in your lines.
Try to hold them, poet,
when they come alive in your mind
at night or in the noonday brightness.
