And The Mirror Cracked |
It came from dismal shadows |
Creeping, sudden, from behind. |
fell upon my merry whistle |
darkened me at heart and sight. |
Back with me, one again with the memory |
Again I behold the ruins |
that I left when I was all devoured by wrath. |
Last night out in the timber |
a thousand torrent’s vehemence |
came rushing through my veins |
Up my throat and filled the eyes, |
And then that I knew |
all pain will be undone |
When I pack my bags |
And depart for lonely roads |
And with courageous verve I stride |
chop the heads off flowers aside, still wondering |
How come you never bleed |
When I stab right into your back. |
How come you never choke |
When I drown you in the sea. |
Merely hours passed |
that I had left him to his mountains |
his colossal idols — one for every spear in me. |
Slopes so steep, |
I could not conquer in a lifetime. |
Now they’re all but ruins, |
Ruins I left behind. |
And with courageous verve I stride |
chop the heads off plants aside, still wondering |
How come you never bleed |
When I stab right into your back. |
How come you never choke |
When I drown you in the hot and burning sea. |
There is always one waiting for me, my beloved |
I shall be with her again so soon. |
craving for her lips, her kiss |
Her hair in summer winds |
The morning dew dripping down her breasts. |
Shadows and Flames. |
I have been demure |
Cries were silent but heart ablaze. |
have been one of his shadows |
Condemned to stray an unlit maze. |
My feet are numb, soles torn wide open |
After endless years of clambering |
My path is lit and leads me north. |
And with courageous verve I stride |
chop the heads off flowers aside, still wondering |
How come you never bleed |
When I stab right into your back, |
How come you never choke |
When I drown you in the hot and burning sea? |
