AFFLICTION

Why I stared fixedly in your eyes only,

Why I caressed your soft and tender palm of hand.

Mockery, this damned laughter thwarted my fate.

Ah, this damned edge split the passion in me,

But killed your love!

Ah, how I regret my own deed and beg for forgiveness,

Eros!

My tears flow down rough and dark bark of a tree,

Which once was beauty and soft body yours.

Among fingers the twigs I entwine and dream.

I caress their leaves and touch of you seek in them.

I fall down in depths,

In depths, from which isn’t return.

In madness I seek the oblivion,

I don’t want suffer anymore!

Throttles sorrow is now my gloomy friend,

Friend torturing my parchedly longing soul.

As shadow now I stray over meadow full of asfodels,

Flowers, which seal up my fatal hopeless.

Where ends the affliction,

I ask and look at heavens.

Already I recollect only

And the wreah start to wind.
