PART OF EPISTIOLES OD LOVE

1

My love,

Tonight in solitude I return to the

words spoken long ago: is love eternal only

in books and friendships. Are the gates

open like a fragrant flower, which drinks

the morning dew before light comes, where

thoughts dwell in a grain of silence? There,

where solitude veils eyelids, I close my eyes

before what is left of you, while the wind

whispers to the grass lonelier than

scattered tears. We need time and place

where we will be together.

For a good night,

My love,

The night is starry, and you are not

beside me. Everything is mysterious and

hidden from curious eyes. Only the truth is

visible, that you miss me, and that I can

sense and welcome you. I could write the

saddest verses tonight, yet tomorrow your

gentle smile will greet me like the first time.

And that’s why tonight I feel your hands

around my body and warmth which

permeates me. Without you I am nothing,

and with you I am a part of the starry sky.

I kiss you for a good night.

love you.

My love,

Your body – the coil of my dreams.

Your body flew into the cloud, so heavenly

becomes earthly, cheerful becomes blue,

and the only proof that life is worth living

in the floral field between the eve and the

morn. Your body – contour of life longs in

the evening sheets. Your body conceives

dreams which allay the pain and dreams

the one which instills hope, for the flame

ablaze for a pleasant trip to last till love in

us.

For a good night, I love you,

Inconsolable in the abyss of insomnia.
