Bittersweet

In my hallucination I saw my beloved's flower garden In my vertigo, in my dizziness, in my drunken haze Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel I saw myself as the source of existence I was there in the beginning and I was the spirit of love Now I am sober, there is only the hangover And the memory of love and only the sorrow I yearn for happiness, I ask for help, I want mercy And my love says, "Look at me and hear me Because I am here just for that I am your moon and your moonlight, too I am your flower garden and your water, too I have come all this way, eager for you, without shoes or shawl I want you to laugh, to kill all your worries To love you, to nourish you Oh, sweet bitterness I will soothe you and heal you I will bring you roses I, too, have been covered with thorns"
