About this title

Review:

Another Night %sleepless
Another Night Without Sleep
Binding My Ankles With Silver
Clouds %i Watched As They Ruptured
Come To Me, Cloud
Come To My Bedroom
Come, O Aloof One
Crooked Fate -- %crooked Decree!
Dancing Before Him
Dark Friend, What Can I Say
Dark One
The Dark One's Love-stain
Dark One, %how Can I Sleep?
Dark One, %where Are We Going?
Don't Block My Way, Friend
Down By The River A Flute!
Dreadful Cuckoo, %who Said You Could Sing About Love
Drunk, Turbulent Clouds
Friend, %though The World Sleeps
Friend, I See %only The Dark One
Friend, Without That Dark Raptor
A Glimpse Of Your Body
Go! Go To That Land
Gone Mad, Sister
Good Fortune, %my Prince
Guide This Litle Boat
Having Wet Me With Love
He Has Stained Me
He's Gone %friend, And I Suffer
Hear My Plea, Dark One, I Am
How Bitter Is Carnival Day
Hungry Eyes And I %crave Him
I Am Your Slave
I Scrawl %endless Letters And Send Them
I Will Sing Out His Beauties!
I've Tasted It, Drunk One,
In My Dream, Sister
It's A Curse -- %i Don't Even
Let Them Gossip
Life On This Planet Is Fragile
Listen, Friend, %the Dark One Laughs
Murari Yanked %at My Skirt,
My Dark One
My Lover's Shadow
O Creatures Of Earth
O Mind, %praise The Lotus Feet That Don't Perish
O Sweet Tongued Enchanter
Oh I Saw Witchcraft Tonight
Out In A Downpour
Over The Trees
Passion, %passion's The Dagger That
Passion, %passion's The Dagger That
The Plums Tasted
Refuge In You, Dark One
Remember Our Pledge
Shame Would Kill %these People
Sister, %i Went Into Market
Sister, The Dark One Won't Speak To Me
Sister, The Enchanter
Snared Me -- %and Now The Enchanter Has Vanished!
Stumbling About, %a Clay Pot On Her Head
Take A Yogin
Take My Arm %and Keep Up Your Promise!
Take My Message
Ten Thousand Thanks
Terrible Solitude %festival Day
Thick Overhead %clouds Of The Monsoon
This Infamy, O My Prince,
This Is The Seal Of %dark Love
Unable To Live Since
Wake Up, %my Lover Of Women,
What Is This Anger
When Can I Meet %the Dark Lord?
Why Life, %why Again,
Why This Impulse
Wolfish Eyes Devouring The Dark One
Yogin, A Single Glimpse
Yogin, Don't Go
Yogin, I Did Not Touch
You Pressed Mira's Seal Of Love
Your Colorful Kingdom %just Bores Me.
