NOBODY UNDERSTANDS ANYBODY
so many times I had absurd claims
I thought my soul was a perfect radar
for your steps, your breath
your weeping
with ardour and love we could
finally reach in peace the otherʼ s skin
if we didnʼ t discover with disappointment
that we are the prisoners of our epidermis
and your singing, and your weeping, and your look,
the emotions, the incomparable and your dreams
all of them are mine for ever
tearfully, crying, I hold you hopelessly
I embrace you like Iʼ ll never embrace you again
you exist in me deeper than in your heart
and shaken, I whisper to you from a distance
– nobody has ever understood
anybody !
MY DEATH – MY LIFE
had things not hit me
with such fury
I might not have seen them
I might have never cared about
them
my sadness – my joy
sometimes I am allowed to see
how evil mingles with good
how from their combination
everything comes to life
my death – my life
I would have never found the way to you
if I hadnʼ t wandered about
if so many nights hadnʼ t blinded me
if I hadnʼ t found comfort in loneliness
sometimes in the middle of the tempest
deep silence overwhelms me
and while I am hit, battered and slashed
I can see in silence
how my death feeds my life
