Rainer Maria Rilke Translation: Love Song
Liebes-Lied (“Love Song”)
by Rainer Maria Rilke
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

How can I withhold my soul so that it doesn’t touch yours?
How can I lift mine gently to higher things, alone?
Oh, I would gladly find...

Premium Member Without Love, Sine Amore
Without love
We are nothing
And we have nothing
When we have love
We have everything
And that’s something.

Where there’s no love
Reign total chaos, crimes, division
Havoc, death, and destruction
With true love
Doves and peacocks fly above
The firmament is light and blue
Everything...

Premium Member The Ballad of Daphne and Jack, the Sequel
Gather 'round me, my dears,
I'll continue the tale
Of a princess and her pirate lover.
Of her crown unencumbered,
They pillaged and plundered
As they wandered the seven seas over.

Crimes maritime were elating
And invigorating
'til Jack noticed a bulge in...

Cloudless / Wolkenlos
Over the desert,
lingers cloudless 
an empty sky,
purposeful, 
scorching, 
withers the sun the sands.


Unreal the colours,
from blue to cream,
where shadows play
and sun-rays 
paint their solid pictures.


I am crossing the dunes, 
breathless,
like a  last  traveler,
with...

I'm often asked to pony up for someone else's problem,
But not that many friends have ever asked me for asylum,
Or even come to visit me when my own life's a downer,
Might loan me shovel (would...

Om steeds my arms om Pa te vou

Premium Member They Feed Our Children To the Lions
Should make you angry, not your bad,
To hate the perks most rich have had,
For rules get bent for them to gain,
Few saints address joint pilgrim's pain.

A level playing field's a joke,
Schools segregate, texts filled with...

Wie Reist Man Seinen Traumen Nach
Wie reist man seinen Träumen nach?

Anziehender Leichtsinn, sing´ mir ins Herz.
Ich will mich dir dann gern´ darbieten, 
ganz ursprünglich und rauschhaft.
Der unzureichenden Lebendigkeit
begegne ich mit Mythopoesie,
vermischt mit Feminismus.
So bin ich alles, was ich haben kann:

No Phantom - Kein Gespenst
There's no such blade 
that would be sharp enough
to slice one of one's shadow.
I grab and tear mine away, though,
kneading and reshaping it 
like wet clay soil
in hope, maybe 
its blackness won't scare you.

Die Alte Prinzessin
In eine alte Prinzessin

Ich hab ihr überredet
dass sie nicht umzieht

Den Arm hab ich ihr abgeschnitten

das Herz hab ich in Eis gelegt
um die Jugend zu bewahren

Regiert das Alter wie ein...

Erklaere Es Mir Doch
Ich bin der Hund im Schoß deiner Lügen,

unter deinem Kleid liegen meine Wunder,

Wiedersehen
Heidenrod 8 (Zorn) Germany 
1984
 Nach vielen, langen Jahren,
sah ich die Heimat wieder.
Es scheint noch immer
wie ein wunderschöner Traum.
Die Erinnerung wird weiter leben,
in Zeit und Weltenraum.
 Seltsam, wie das Dörfchen
sich verändert
und ich alles anders fand.
Herzinniglich...

Schoenheit
In diesen Tagen, 
in welchen sich das Grau 
mit dem Dunkel so leicht vermählt,
sollten wir da nicht der Schönheit gedenken?
Wollen wir nicht lieber in Vermutungen schwellen,
die uns sagen, dass jede Schönheit hier auf Erden,

Premium Member Broken Beginning

The lights fade
Followed by a flicker
Ever so slightly
I slip out to evade

In the beginning
Alles muss gebrochen werden
In the beginning
All must be broken

Switch tongues on a dime
Ich bin ein Heide
Ein Heide
But what do you know?
