It's after a long time
That we met.
You the flame
And I the oil.
I thought this time
We will become a lamp
We will find
Our own earthen camp.
With love I flowed
Towards you
On my own.
With hunger you caught
Once again my finger
And then at one go
You engulfed me all.
Again bereft of my entity
Again you made me
Your fuel.
Only this time
I no more wanted
To spread over you
And destroy you.
For I understood
That the way you behaved
is your nature.
And it is not
My nature
To destroy you.
Adieu flame!
Off I flow.
To find my own bottle
Maybe I will be
A perfumed cure.
That we met.
You the flame
And I the oil.
I thought this time
We will become a lamp
We will find
Our own earthen camp.
With love I flowed
Towards you
On my own.
With hunger you caught
Once again my finger
And then at one go
You engulfed me all.
Again bereft of my entity
Again you made me
Your fuel.
Only this time
I no more wanted
To spread over you
And destroy you.
For I understood
That the way you behaved
is your nature.
And it is not
My nature
To destroy you.
Adieu flame!
Off I flow.
To find my own bottle
Maybe I will be
A perfumed cure.
