Nothing Can Be Everything
The full moon shines
My human nature fails
I feel devoid of self
I can be nothing or everything:
Nothing that you want
Everything that you desire
Foreign feelings possess me;
Strange sensations
Laugh at me, for I know not what I am
Moonlit Demise
The West blushes, and the East is dressed in a deep velvet blue.
While all are resting their weary heads, you appear again to call your sleepy beast.
As if they are my last moments alive, I take advantage of those few scarlet rays that remain.
The moments after which, I am lowered again to the darkness of my soul.
Oh clouds! that you may break my torturous night!
Diaphanous moon that my senses are enchanted by, you who drag me to these lost nights, damn you!
Rays like sharpened knives cut me in two.
And I give myself unwillingly to your inexorable influence and feel the rage that transforms my serenity. Immense pain, seeming to last a thousand years.
I Hate You.
I hate you.
I hate you because you laugh at me silently.
I hate you because you are icy cold.
I hate you because you are distant.
I hate you because you hurt me.
I hate you because you are like my death.
I hate you because you do not let me live my life.
I hate you because me you make different.
I hate you because you create a living hell.
I hate you because you never let me shine.
I hate you.
Thoughts of Night
On the paper, my pen scratches rapidly
Blue ink
Blue as the sky of the night
I see the moon appear in my mind's eye
Full with light
Calling me
See the moon who laughs?
Up there, in the sky!
My spirit is disturbed
I think of my misery
Of that which hurts me so
Eternally alone
Until the Day
Moonlight
It reminds me
Of how I suffer
I never forget
It makes me
An ugly thing
That nobody wants to love
It is impossible
To understand
But try
To understand
Because of the moon
I suffer
I need your love
But I have doubts
I fear our love
Being destroyed
By my torture
That my pain
Will grow deeper
I fear
I'll make you cry
Or even try
To kill you
It's possible
I need to be alone now
Go away
Until the day
I'll kiss you
Say my lover
Has touched me
I count the hours
Until the day
When I can speak to you
Until the day
You understand why I suffer
My Partner
Between two cloudy veils it shines;
The object of my eternal pain reveals itself.
In front of this cruel beauty,
So round,
So pure,
I cry.
Devoted and immutable friend,
Your cruelty condemns me
To this painful celestial privilege.
An animal is born;
Avid, monstrous and brutal.
It tastes my blood and fear,
And I cannot fight.
My cries and sobs are covered by its cries;
My humanity is wrongfully choked by its bestiality;
A prisoner to my own denatured body
I resist and I am broken down.
Once again I test this torment,
And suddenly the tears on my cheeks fall.
The moon is my partner,
And my despair.
