In Your Eyes...

In your eyes lies ardor, refusal and ease,
In your eyes I sensed reproach.

I saw in them the shaft of death sinking,
Into my conscience as I lost my way.

Blame me not for past events,
But reward with forgiveness my misdeeds instead.

In you I believed and in destiny's judgement,
Each thing in this world has a reason for being.

Oh my beloved, between us both intimacy and reserve,
In our love we exchanged suffering.

Who can heal when there is no doctor, no cure,
Nor one who knows the healing power of plants?

How I tried and tried to meet you,
I tried to near you.

The echo of me came not from your direction,
Who can respond to this voice when my presence is an absence?

Oh angel dearest, the eyelid fled,
Sees sleeplessness in my eyes and stays well away.
