Φάρμακον

14 Febbraio 2022 0 Alexia Ioana Branzea Poesia Throughout the world

Wouldst thou still love me if I did show thee

the hidden darkness dwelling within me?

Shall I trust thee and lay bare down with you

and for thy love offer myself to you?

Thou art as bright as the day golden sphere

and something happens ay when you are near:

mine icy eyes melt like candles, my dear,

for to be burned when I get close I fear.

My rivers of tear drops make oceans blue

and thou div’st in them every night, don’t you?

Unreachable you, will you stay with me?

Oh, please, just let me –

let me love thee.
