Missing

Missing

A Poem by Eichendorff

No, I do not miss you

Do not think of you throughout all time

Living life as usual-that is what I do

Do not think that is a crime


As always when I see a flower

Then all of that's no longer true

In it I see your beauty tower

And sink in dreams where Aphrodite is you


No, I do not miss you

Do not think of you throughout all time

Only common places which I get to

Do not think that is a crime


As always when I smell the scent

Of a flamboyant floral field

I know when flowers' fragrance has an end

Your perfume made by Flora is revealed

No, I do not miss you

Do not think of you throughout all time

Common life without you-that is due

Do not think that is a crime


As always when I taste the honey

Made of the sweetest nectar of the world

I know there is ambrosia that can't be paid with money

When we are kissing, its dolce sapidity is then unfurled


No, I do not miss you

Do not think of you throughout all time

Doing common things I always used to do

Do not think that is a crime


As always when I hear the birds
While singing a sweet song during the dawn

I know that every of your words

Makes sirens seem to mourn


No, I do not miss you

Do not think of you throughout all time

Round me common people whom I talk to

Do not think that is a crime


As always when I feel a rose

The only thing that I can feel is thorns

That hurt me like the arrow Cupid chose

To pierce my heart so that a poor man mourns


I think of you and inwardly I am discerped

My heart is just a heap of rubble

There's only one way that my pain is curbed:

To unify your golden heart with mine

Can liberate me from my trouble

As you are everything for which I pine


Oh yeah, I really miss you

I do at every eyelash, every breath and every heartbeat

Cupid's arrow leads me to this heartneed

But still you are not here and that's my life-destructing issue.
