                  Now I am imprisoned in a cage,

                  And I could be in velvet fetters.

                  But, alas, you are not so merciful, lady,

                  And you have given me only iron fetters.


                  Dreams are dreams, and the reality is

                  That I am destined to be in this world

                  Only as your faithful sweet slave,

                  But not as your beloved soul.


                  Spring 2018

Forgive me


                           Forgive me, my love,

                           I have tried more than once to forget

                           Everything that was between us,

                           But I don't have the strength to do it.


                           With you, I have become not myself —

                           I have become softer and more vulnerable

                           The masks that I have worn for so

                           Long have all come off at once.


                           My pride is my mate,

                           It has become not a destiny with you,

                           Because only you alone have managed

                           To see the truth in me.


                           Forgive me for my selfishness,

                           For not being so patient.

                           But I am besotted with you,

                           Your beautiful soul.


                           Spring 2018

In the distance


                      My love for you is strong,

                      But you couldn't accept it.

                      And dying again and again —

                      I pray, for once don't push me away.


                      I have told you more than once

                      That I am ready to ruin myself,

                      That I am ready to give everything

                      For one of your warm looks.


                      I remember your lips touching,

                      I remember your playful hands,

                      Alas, not wanting me.

                      Is this the end for me?


                      The fire of hope will not fade,

                      Faith in faith will not lose,

                      Because I am sure of one thing —

                      A little, but I was loved.
