Anna. Ohne Titel

Eine Serie inspiriert von einem Gedicht von Boris Pasternak

Unapproachable         

 

 

 

Unapproachable, usually shy,

 

You are now like fire, all burning

 

Let me lock your unusual sight

 

In the poem of love I am saying.

 

 

Look, how perfectly changed with the lamp

 

Is the hovel, and wall, even window

 

Our figures are covered with shade

 

Which is gentle like night in the meadow.

 

 

You are sitting, your legs on the ottoman,

 

As the Turks used to sit on the sofa,

 

Just the same, is it darkness or light

 

You are looking as if you are so far.

 

 

You are dreaming and stringing the beads

 

It’s a handful that’s rolled on the dress,

 

And your smile is today very sad

 

And your talk and your mood are depressed.

 

 

Love — the word looks too vulgar today,

 

I will think of another alias.

 

The whole world, all the words just for you

 

I’ll rename to ruin the barriers

 

.

Can appearance sullen of yours

 

Show feelings so deeply are laying

 

And the light of your beautiful heart,

 

And the grief that your eyes are containing.
