Verses from a Goddess & an Icon

January 13th, 2009 by GODDESS | Print

The original Filipino version of this collaborative effort between myself and Chroneicon can be found here. Heartfelt thanks to our good friend, Lethalverses, for translating Chroneicon’s part.

 

A cabalistic memoir

Has persistently reigned my existence

To seek refuge in his arms

Is my only recourse

 

Wishing to let me stare at you and you alone

Shrouding like a breeze, be my presence known;

Open your heart and let me impede not the truth

And let ourselves be ours from here and there on

 

As my faculties meander the spheres of nihility

I am fettered in the recesses of cataclysm

The desire to endure prevails

Merely grounded by his quintessence

 

We were so close that I can reach you with my arms,

Yet still, I can never reach your distant heart;

Why do I yearn for you even when you’re here?

Silently longing for you even when you’re near

 

My yearning has paralyzed my senses

Assaying implorations could not be coveted

His unparallel adulation is my universal chimera

My meager lucidity could only fathom

A love in perpetuity

 

But the only answer is the riddle itself,

Treacherously hiding within the questions themselves;

Waiting for the melody to become the song,

And finally continue this unwanted poem

 

While your imprecations I ascertain

Your pleas hover in the air that surrounds me

My faculties are deafened

United by my blatant desire for him

 

It is with immeasurable travail

Pardon my boldness and what it caused you,

That I must deny you my affection

But I’ll still give you my heart, though yes, I’m aware,

For the self I purport to know

That there’s nothing to expect, nothing left for me,

Is irrevocably and undeniably

But my silent wishes that he’ll also love you like I do.

In love with him.
