– my beloved is beautiful –
she awakens with her beauty
the lurking tiger of my desire,
and wipes the foam off its mouth
with the hands of her beauty –
– my beloved is strong –
she bathes my wounded limbs
in the strong sea of her laughter
and breathes her hot smiles
on my freezing hands –
– life is my young mistress –
– my beloved –
she is a young mother,
who longingly awaits her child –
my beloved is a whore –
proud of her naked body,
she scorns the poor desire of the world –
she has the cool eyes of a nun,
her smile is the calm of the cloister garden –
– life is my young mistress – |
– I love an amazon –
blood is dripping from the hooves of her horse –
I am her slave,
who in snaring reins follow her furious ride –
I listen with sparkling eyes
to her metal-sharp, defiant yells –
I follow my beloved,
until the sun once goes down,
shamed by the shine
of her cobber-red singing spear –
