A sad love poem -- translated by the author into English |
...nothing else. and with that kiss, let my soul's torment drift into sleep touching its flowers with fingertips. seeking and grasping to reach from a distance for an impulse and an instant of passion, without an end.. even if I were long time dead I’d think about you to find rest but sad, like the bushes of roses can't hear the far away cries of the birds high in their nests you can not hear me yet you live in me. And I know every instant of you, in guise of a thought watching thru eyes of the gods, lost in the heavens yet you won't hear me and I’m left alone alone with the thought about you and beauty cannot find its place within you, who are divine beauty yourself how could it be... and in you, there is no place for me, yet i am there, in shape of a ghost you were an image for me, yet while you were imagining me, who knows what i was what was my name what was your love yet now that you know where i am you know me no more nor look at my eyes and still feel alive yet if i were to talk and speak for my soul and tell you myself you'd be living to hear more than to breathe - sweet was the image of you sweet was the dream' nothing else. and with that covet fly far away to chase a desire through something new and i might feel insane though in my words, i gift you a gust an instant of me take it not, and after a while there it will vanish. Yet if ashes go back to ashes, my instant goes not back to me and is lost forever' open my arms, and let streams of light confuse you and let my soul plunge in it - yet you fear.. Warm is truly your heart, i can feel it so close yet you're only here if i think it - destiny's joke i am nothing for you... sweet was the dream, sweet was the covet, sweet was your soul... ...nothing else, and may your life be happy as before when you let thoughts have a place for love when you could see me not even though you, deep never were, shaken by me yet if you came to my arms every word i'd forget inside you... you will not come, though i will be waiting nevertheless.. and even if i were a wizard i'd not beguile your soul to give thought a hope to want you for real yet why do i torture myself?' and i hear, far in the air, the sound of your voice lightly laughing sweet was the dream, sweet was the desire, yet i did not love you enough |
