Obedient Angel,
Don't wish me happiness
I Cannot be happy all the time,
Don’t give me tenderness
It is unreachable sublime,
Don’t give me cheerfulness,
I cannot rhyme all the time.
Don’t sing Orpheus’s tunes
I cannot find a path among the dunes!
Rebellious Angel, light up my cigarette,
It is a perfect frame as I can get,
Let me sip a drop of ocean’s wilderness
From a broken reed of emptiness!
From where You and I were tender from where You and I remember
The golden broken reed’s ember.
And truth to tell,
I fear, soon their wings will be gone forever,
Like dead leaves in September
And only furry cat at the window
Like a mirror of inner charms,
Unchanged, will be in my arms.
