Jasmin

"How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes behind your veil are doves.
Your hair is like a flock of goats
descending from the hills of Gilead.
Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
not one of them is alone.
Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
your mouth is lovely.
Your temples behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.
Your neck is like the tower of David,
built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,
all of them shields of warriors.
Your breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle
that browse among the lilies.
Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,
I will go to the mountain of myrrh
and to the hill of incense.
You are altogether beautiful, my darling;
there is no flaw in you."

It is true
I’m begging you
Believe
That flowers bloom
In spring
That is the only time
That thing called love
To achieve
All that comes after
Is Doom

Jasmin
I do regret
I wasn’t fully me
I didn’t mean to hurt
But in that given set
Of alcoholic spree
I felt like fucking dirt

I wasn’t worthy of Thy
Love so young and pure
19-year-innocent life
No, I wasn’t at all shy
Could easily set the lure
And in me let you dive

Into my nothingness
Into my black despair
Into my hopeless pain
Existence of meaningless
Where nothing’s ever fair
And all happens in vain.

Oh, my little flower
I miss still more and more
The shine of your pearly smile
Could spend a many hour
Recalling your charms galore
Stacking the memories pile

And sinking deep
Into Sea of Regrets
And Sadness for The Loss
But joyous picture I should keep
As happy as memory gets
Not risked by pitch-and-toss

The simple reminiscence
Of you so fully hearted
Offering me your devotion
Young love in its pure essence
Not stained by pose or tarted
Which set my change in motion

But I did not,
Could not possibly take it
I needed first to grow
I thought and thought
Being sick couldn’t fake it
I had to take it slow

And let you go
And let me heal and learn
Allowing the love to fade
With all those years passed though
I still pray for return
The choice I’ve already made

But I know neither then
Nor ever in my life
I just couldn’t lock
A young soul in my pen
Bound by desire’s strife
Life wasted in my stock

I couldn’t love that way
And that’s why you in spite
Loved me in such a might
Common paradox they say
When doing what is right
Turns wrong and it’s a blight

So, just goodbye my little blossom
Stay as treasured memory
Prosper and live long
You’re a soul so awesome
Worth of your own life’s story
Another poet’s song.
