I was born as Carolina Patricia Baranowska in Kraków, in Lesser Poland, on the 01st of April 1988. Since early childhood, I write poetry in many languages. I was 3 years old when I learnt to read and write, and 9 years old when I wrote my first poem. I started writing poetry in French at primary school as I had French classes then, and later, in the college, also in Italian. A couple of years ago I taught myself Spanish language from the Internet and since then, I write mostly in Spanish. Because I have been learning English since childhood, too, and now, I live in Great Britain, I also write poetry in English which I publish via Gold Orchid Publishing. My influences are: Dark Romanticism, existentialism,19th and 20th century poets. My inspiration is, first of all, music - and the emotions it produces, the images it evokes - as well as the beauty of wild, sometimes dangerous nature - and the harshness of human existence; the great tragedy of life... I admire Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire, George Gordon Byron and English Romantics, German Romantic movement, Renaissance and Baroque European poets, Polish Romantics and generally,19th century literature, Polish Renaissance poetry. This is my author profile.
dearest of my heart
my second half of the apple -
so what, if prohibited...?
...
Cry the violins of dawn
on the strings of empty skies;
the song of sorrow, hope and love -
solitude starved of affection,
...
