Probably

Èôèãåíèé Ïðîêðóñòîâ
Probably I could love You eternally,
 Truly, faithfully tenderly…
Probably, others might be denied
For that sole unforgettable night.

I won’t say: “I will come along,
To the edge, where you’ll  be alone”.
But  I’ll take your sorrows away,
And I’ll straighten the hopeful  sail.

Just grown older, and not a girl,
Now -a queen with an aching soul,
But my  look is still  frank and kind,
Though I’m quit now  and left behind.

I won’t torture You anyway,
I won’t open my lips to  pray.
But  I  wonder who really knows:
Is my battle finally lost?

Trusting you is over. And what?
You  will cry after having laugh…
Trembling  body kiss…fire and ice.
And no thrill, no breath otherwise!!

Am I cold like the autumn trees?
Am I hot like the desert breeze?
You expected me to respond?
Now and ever:  I love no one.

And, quenched up at last with your love,
 Facing your desires  all alone,
Walk the clear oceans, my man
Quiet and enlightened. Amen.
