In My Sleep
In my sleep;
the dream came, like a thorns to my bed,
So I wept.
We deceived! the dream and I :
By insomnia,by our footsteps,
Our blood,our voice and by the clamorous love,
But we were vigilant for the distance between us,
Vigilant; for the laughter which always fails by the cough.
In my sleep! the dream came,
My eyes darken with sadness,
But you were in the dream fly like a bird,
Flying as if between your wings! My desired death.
As if you were an angel rises up, above the horizon,
like an Aldebaran star.
As if the sun, wherein you are! wherein you are,
Flying away in your heaven.
You! Oh love that irrigates my sight
If I saw you in a dream.
