Beloved Mine

once again, you have arrived
with your thick, black, fragrant hair
washed in moonlight

once again, you have arrived
each limb of your graceful body
adorned with countless million jewels

and I, your lover for ages
as always, wait
with vain faith in my fate

were it a person
I would have strangled him
but, does hope die so easily?

hope not that, this time
you will stay:
in my chamber of desolation
spend just a day

my fancy is not that wild
my fate is not that blessed

hope just that, this time
you will hold my hand
and take me with you
there, far beyond the horizon
where nothing exists except for you

oh night, beloved mine!
someday, accede to my passion strong!
someday, take your lover along!
