Soul's strings

I felt Sisyphus’s stone in my heart.

My soul grew restless.

Though my flesh is far from you,

yet still, my soul’s strings are attached to you.

Oh darling, why are you awake till the devil’s hour?

Let me send guardian angels

to shield you from all unwanted thoughts,

steal away your insomnia,

and grant you peaceful repose.

Oh, let me cuddle you—

from the beginning to the end of time.

If my body perishes,

let me be your “Casper,”

and I will keep you forever.

I shall walk you to the dawn

and cradle you in my palm...

only if you want me to.
