You will not see these tender verses, The message from my fragile hand. We’re farther than the universes, Though closer than the grains of sand. Your trace is vanishing away: The words, The moments, Nights and days. You. Are. Not. Here. Anymore. Towards infinity you soar, And to the stars say “I adore…” Not me, Not me, Not me, Not me – You have no place on Earth to be! And when the world comes to an end, Through time and space I’ll hold your hand. Oh, but you won’t remember me! In dreams, if dreams there ever be, You will unknowingly repeat That in a thousand years… We’ll meet. A silly overwhelming lie! How dare you keep me up at night? Oh, how can I this voice forget? I wish I could, without regret, Leave all the memories behind… “Be gone! Come back to me!” – I cried. “Forever, I will be with you!” – Alas, these words cannot be true. You’ve told me, holding back the tears: “We will meet… In a thousand years.” I will be here! I will abide – Your answer in my heart will hide. Let recollections disappear, For neither time nor death I fear. And when the somber glow is near, Your answer I’ll repeat, my dear: “We will meet… In a thousand years.”
The loneliest of hours are the best, The sweetest moments of my tangled life, When only those are by the Heaven blessed, Who never love and never ever fight.
The silence of the night was calming like The soothing breeze or humming of the flame But thunderstorm with its desire to strike, A mighty demon, to the ground came.
I didn’t fear it, nor did I stand still; As burning poison flowed across my spine, And then I ran, and ran against my will, And even lost the precious count of time.
I drifted in the darkness with a smile, Not that of madness, but of sad delight, As if my friends returned for a while To disappear for their final fight.
No pain, no tears, no pity for myself. I felt the whispering of crystallized sparks, And flew from them as if I were an elf, Which was invisible but left flamboyant marks.
Why do night spirits dwell there, in my soul, Where nothing lives, and feelings make no sound? Sometimes they rise, at other times they fall, And howl with pain, when no one is around.
“We hate you, garish, overwhelming sun! You shine with powerful and blinding grace Of perfect creature, which to Earth has come From silent land, entitled now as “space.”
You cannot save a secret from one’s eyes, You have no charm, no beauty of your own, You hide inside a miserable vice, You keep it deep within the scarlet glow!”
The voices of night spirits in my head Have murmured so with fiery delight Of beasts, by hatred poisoned and led Into the meaningless, atrocious fight.
Adoring their passion, like my own, I felt, indeed – there is no solid truth; The moon and stars will soon be fully gone, Then night itself shall have no real use.
Oh, rose-red sunrise, take my somber soul! Erase it swiftly with your golden wings, Before the Sacred Light I shall not bow, For now I fear the tragic thoughts it brings.
My heart, concealed by the mist of tears, Can’t help, but miss the tender love of night, Which does not hurt unfeigned fragile feels, But fondles them with care and holds them tight.
Believe, each day is full of mysteries, And even when the sky seems blue and bright, The shadows cast by giant maple trees Evoke the visions of the cryptic night.
One doesn’t notice pearls of morning dew, Pierced ruthlessly by subtle verdant blades; And nature’s beauty may give us a clue To when the brilliance of this moment fades.
The roses murmur secrets in the dark, While nightingales sing them serenades, And whispering of ghosts until the lark Upon the gloomy, dreaming world cascades.
The night and day, the stars, and leaves of grass All have their magic, which one can’t describe, And even though wildflowers seldom last, As long as beauty lives, they’ll here abide.
