6. Enchanted and in Silent Beauty
1. A Fairy's Breath
... and kissed the fairytale-land with pride
under the trees of lust
the leaves pure shadows on me
which shelter me from the darkness
which I was
I hold the dreams, within my arms
thrash the earth, within my tears
and heal my wounds in meadows of light
forgotten in the drowning land
now I leave my wishes
but love conquers all ...
and every angel needs a tear to laugh
calling the fall
trust me, I am your lunacy
embolded, enthroned so it's a king for a while
but gloominess it seems so gentle
the gestures of the gist
ingrowing taste of dreams
infatuate my gift, now it becomes light
inexact but clear
2. Priamus
Cras te victurum, cras dies (Postume) semper.
Dic mihi, cras istud (Postume) quando venit?
Quam longe cras istud, ubi est? Aut unde petendum?
Numquid apud Parthos (Armeniosque) latet?
Iam cras istud habet Priami vel Nestoris annos.
Cras istud quanti, dic mihi, possit emi?
Cras vives? Hodie iam vivere (Postume) serum est:
ille sapit, quisquis, (Postume), vixit heri.
3. Lilienmeer
Zersetzt in blassem Licht, das Wärme gab
schlief der Mensch im Lilienmeer
scheinbar ewig wartend, aber werdend
betrachtet von den Augen derer, die ihn liebten
4. The Gesture of the Gist
... and there is no sun
not then and never again
glossy nativity
desirable perfume of light
flavourless silence
the beauty of the gist
... but what is the gist
nothing or everything
embedded in lies about the real sense of life
the poise between the beginning and the end
... but this is the last dance
escape from this thorn undying
enrich me please in my thruth
the slumber in enchantment
deify the breath, my only passion
... but there is no sun
no gesture no gist
only me, only freedom, only life
5. An Orchid for My Withering Garden
Still drunken of spring's shining meadows
and the myriads of flowers,we shut our eyes
to the beauty and fell asleep...
and oblivion erased our memories of fall
and blinded our eyes.
Overwhelming were the days
as autumn embraced the land and zephyr
kissed the sky with passion ...
but more seldom we remembered
the perfume of a long withered spring
and summer caress faded like a candle
in the wind, leaving a legacy of gold ...
... and still we slumbered
dreamless and forlorn ...
but for the sleepless who perceive
a blossom's tear will be a monument
of those long faded summers
and bears the seed of a new spring
... and those will feel no mourning
as fall grands them a farewell kiss in
the orchid-fields because
their gardens will gleam everlasting ...
6. Enchanted and in Silent Beauty
... and then she became older
and left her friend in admiration
studded with bitter tears
sickening falls the colour
taste for taste
drowning in the nectar of clouds
which pass the light
blind and bleeding
as the summer ever walks through winter's woods
... those tales ...
stay far from me I lie to myself
... and still I wish
I woke up again in the shining of help
freedom and immortality
I opened my hands and call for me
... but any beauty has its thorns
in the empty pictures of your life
surrounded by radiance
in the dust of every little hope
no one can see what happens in the end
and you didn't want to see dry tears ...
