Moja dlan / My palm
04:53
|
|||
|
my little palm
like a sweet thought
would like to caress your sombre face
to lighten up again
the bright glow of your eyes,
It would gently rest on your beautiful forehead
then lovingly loose itself
in the warm nest of your shaggy hair
my little palm
like a passionate desire
would like to go across your sombre face
and whisper secretly into your ears a magic spell
enticing out your smiles
and from oblivion preserve your greying memory
on your lips it would rest enraptured
my little palm
as a soft veil
would like to go over your sombre face
this little, frightened palm of mine!
from afar it caresses your sad smiles
in eyes that are on the verge of crying
fearful that you will turn away

I love to lay in the sun
on my back and with eyes closed
on the grass by the sea
the waves are the footsteps
of the man I am waiting for
with yearning and fear
he is approaching now
his face unknown
and I don't ask for his name
he is coming closer
hot and impatient
scenting of ripe semen
with tender force
he spreads my legs
and lifts me into a whirlwind
when I open my eyes again
and the sky above me calms
there are there only the sun
the grasses and me.
the waves are again the steps of the man
returning towards the sea
I love to lay in the sun
on my back and with eyes closed
on the grass by the sea

||||
|
you are not here anymore
but your scent is still all over me
and I carry you all, just all in me
that it hurts
and all the nights
all the sleepless nights in sorrow
when like long years the minutes linger
I sob into the palms of my hands
covering my eyes
to hide the tears from my very self
to drown my despair in oblivion
and there is no strength left in me
|

|
You are here again
like on so many nights
You come quietly, lay down by my side
and with a certain hand you find my face
With your fingertips going across my forehead
caressing my eyebrows
the two eyeshells
but across the face you wander as if lost
and really slowly you encircle my lips
knowing that I am still the same
still always waiting
Then your hand glides all over me
awakening all of my flesh
to open up: Oh come
and lift me from the abyss
of despair and mad dreams!
But you are rotting into dust
and I wake up each morning
on a ravaged island

among the thousands I would recognize your walk
in all possible rhythms of hurried steps
and even in my dreams I'd recognize your gentle breath
among the thousands resting in peace
with darkness in my eyes I could find your face
with deaf ears I could hear your laughter.
and if the winds smoothed all the roads
I'd find the trace of your steps in the sandy ground
just flee from me wherever you desire
although you turn into a path most hidden
yet like a sinner with a conscience riden
you can't abscond for ever from my thoughts

Ure / The hours
05:13
|
|||
|
the hours
of sweet surrender
have vanished into time
i am sipping the late glow
of a scarlet dawn
somewhere an echo
but this isn't my voice anymore
love
that pearly dove
is no longer feeding from my hand.
I am sinking
into the bottom of a sinister evening
a night heavy as lead
is falling over my heart

Poljub / A kiss
04:07
|
|||
|
a kiss
is not just a playfull exchange
of breath and saliva
a kiss
is not just a beginning
into sensual raving
when you bite into the depths
of body and soul
a kiss
lulls you into the loss of ground
under your feet
into screams of pain
and when it ends
you feel like being void
a kiss
is also a desperate plea
for a tiny bit of human
nearness

Iz spomina / From memory
03:02
|
|||
|
Your scent
was of ripe grasses from the Karst
of salt
carried by the sea wind
of the gentle olive green
and of bitter rosemary
Your scent
was so fragrant
that I closed my eyes
and waited devoutly
for the touch of the hand
of an Artist
a Creator of Beauty
Slowly
even slower
as if under a spell
your hands glided
over my young skin
kissing away
all natural deviations
confusing me in the nights
of my missing
girlhood
In the palms of your hands
I became beautiful
because you loved me

Zvestoba / Faithfulness
04:15
|
|||
|
at the first breath
of springtime dreams
protect a tiny bloom
two leaves
in the velvety dark
in the midst of sunburnt meadows
like two enamoured knights
enclose
their first fruit
two leaves
in the golden glow
went for an early dance with the wind
into the azure
silently and devoutly
falling down
