I Love You I love you so badly! When I was asked why I love you I well-nigh died in mayhem and fear! I have the right answer thereto, But how dare I answer, And give you the sword to slay me? How come I divulge it to you? Did not you read it on every syllable? Did not you hear it sung? As the sparrows come to prance to strumming! Haven’t you descried me writhed in agony, At all times?! I love you so badly, I need a year to depict my longings, Two years to elaborate on our separation and woe, Our agonies when we reunite; Twenty years to describe the truth Of my love and secret Of anguish and torment! *** I sob like the steeds of the prairie And race, leaving behind me the time! Woe unto my heart! Doomed I am! When the eyes of beauties stare at me How could I resist the resplendent sun, And such exquisite moon? Reunion lasts for long till we thaw To remain together at all times! I love you so badly! I am not imaginative, Racing behind a fancy! I am not just embellishing words, Depicting stanzas and prose! In fact, all my days before you Were mere misery! I did peruse you in love Word by word, As I was maddened by knowledge! I gobbled your love up Till I became dead drunk! If knocked your gates one day Will you, I wonder, know me? Many things have changed, I myself have changed a lot Even my address! Palour masks my features, As the sun between us has set, While my orchards banished The fragrance of your love! Never will you remember, In which year, did we meet? Trace it back in time For maybe one day we will meet again! I don’t remember the bygone days Or descry the upcoming days! This no longer concerns me, For since I lost you I missed all marks, And lost my memory As the frostbite of my life Has demolished my veins!
