My lover has burning lips
and a row of sharp teeth when with laughter
he replies to the challenge of the world.
I have dreamed so much of you,
Walked so often, talked so often with you,
Loved your shadow so much.
Nothing is left me of you.
Nothing is left of me but a shadow among shadows,
A being a hundred times more shadowy than a shadow,
A shadowy being who comes, and comes again, in your sunlit life.
I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way.
My heart is not captured easily. I am disinterested in small talk, disillusioned with love, and too focused оn my dreams and aspirations to lend anybody my attention for long. But if we make that connection, if you find your way into my heart, God, I will fall for you like gravity has let go of the earth.
I want to fall to sleep with you,
and I could care less
whether it is in
layers upon layers
of clothing
or оnly our skin -
all I really want is to wake up
not knowing
where I end and you begin.
I’ve always liked quiet people: You never know if they’re dancing in a daydream or if they’re carrying the weight of the world.
And sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in.
Don’t go far off, not even for a day, because –
because – I don’t know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.
Don’t leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.
Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve оn the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don’t leave me for a second, my dearest,
because in that moment you’ll have gone so far
I’ll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?
