Love
I know when love settles on your face
Because you can’t hide it in your eyes.
You avert them from my penetrating gaze,
But I can recognize the deep sighs…
So, don’t fear to smile at the sky,
The clouds will understand everything.
Like birds, you know you can hover high,
But mind the sun – sometimes too burning…
And I know when love leaves you, I know...
Due to your invisible tears,
I can hear your soul’s dark largo,
I know when despair appears.
So, don’t fear to look at the sky,
Let your tears melt into the rain,
Let your heart sob aloud, moan and cry,
Free yourself from the terrible pain.
And I know when you pine for your love,
When you can’t find a space for your thoughts,
You don’t hear the thunders above,
You’re indifferent to the heavenly shots.
But have only a look at the sky,
Take a peep at the timid sunbeams
Breaking through your longing which can’t die,
Drying your tears – the salty streams…
