Longing for you

Gods, and goddesses!
I am asking you
Why, oh why
this anguish that won't go away
When waiting,
I am for him?

Even though I try not to fear,
Even though I reason
Again and again with my heart...

But my heart has no reason...
It stands, restlessness,
In the tower of my castle...
Looking out
for my Enchanter to return...

I keep in me
this apprehension
That never again
I would meet him...
That he grows weary
of his Noble Lady,
And with him
might disappear
the enchantment.

May be,
I myself shall push him away...

Without him,
without my very dear Friend,
The flowers in my garden
would not bloom any more
To salute the Sun each morning.
They would not do
The Salutation to the Moon
never again...
He surely remembers...
This jasmin we planted together
With so much, oh so much pleasure!
In this world of Enchantment
Which only a very few soulmates,
Shall hopefully share with us!

The soil in wich
those flowers are growing
Would quickly become
arid and sterile...

If he should not return,
Who would come every day
And light up my garden
With his oh so beautiful smile?
The well in my soul
Would surely dry up
Without his kindness!
One would hear
only the echoes
of my loneliness
This abyss in me,
the one he had so well fullfill
with only one of his looks,
And perhaps, perhaps,
The ghost of a beautiful smile,
Eternal remembrance...

My little corner in the universe
Would cover with ice.
On my windows,
I would find again
Familiar laceworks
Once traced by the icy mist...

Before I met him,
Once upon a time,
On a so magical day
By chance,
But do I beleive in hazard?,
Amongst an indifferent
And ignorant crowd,
Ignorant of the miracle happening:
Our joining again in Time!

With the tips of my fingers,
I would follow
All those icy little paths
On my frosted window...
But the coldness,
so quickly would reach my heart
Crushed without pity
Under the ices moving
On the Desolation Sea.

Quickly, my sweet Friend,
Be here again
in this quantum leap!

Once again
doubtness is capturing my soul.
My heart knows nothing any longer,
Only the confusion growing in my soul
and its oh so loyal companion,
the Void...

Hurry my Friend
and quickly come back
Before the space
takes me away in its Darkness



But don't you know by now
Oh so dear Friend
That always shall I come back!?
