Night swindles all the cries of fear,
Preparing them with cuts and sneers,
Yet all the tears that flow about
Are gentle cries that children shout.
_
Yet here he is, he smiles, he weeps,
The gentle roses of thorn her grips.
But don’t forget, sweet child of fear:
The tears you hold are never clear!
_
Don’t cry, don’t cry, for a devil’s sin!
Your soul forgave him with a gentle grin,
For now you crush in your gentle hands
The swindled cries tied up in fear’s demands…
[The swindled fear] is written by Dragomir Cristian Mădălin

After wondering if I should try to record myself reading the poem, I noticed that on your ‘Poetry’ page that you said it is fine to use the poem (with credit given).
Have to say that I’m normally not a fan of poetry, but this scratched an itch I didn’t know I had. Well, I did this to try and give how I read it… yeah. I’m interested to hear how much/little it differs from your intent!

After listening to it, I believe my initial take on “Don’t cry, don’t cry, for a devil’s sin!” may have strayed a bit. I think I would now read it with a more of an upturn in tone than an admonishing tone. *nods*
…. *embarrassed*

Dragomir means To whom peace is precious
Cristian means follower of Jesus Christ
Mădălin comes from Magdalene and it means the great, the tower, or the elegant (one of three)

Thank you :)) and yes, that’s my real name. I thought about using a pen name, but sooner or later people would have found out who I was.
Also, it has nothing to do with dragons :)) The actual meaning of my full name would be something like this:
To whom peace is precious, follower of Jesus Christ, the great/the tower/the elegant.
