The Guilt Is Not In You

by

Peyo Yavorov


The guilt is not in you, I'm from another world.

A child of dusty dreams, your mother is the earth.

You are not to be blamed for what were my desires —

I didn't want lust soots, but a soul of crystal ice.

And what I wished from you is to be a looking glass

Of my daydreams in lucid solitude and trance —

A magic looking glass to animate my dream

That I have casted once from pale bronze and gleam.


The guilt is not in you, I'm from another world.

And in the cloudy frost I know no dust and dirt.

I'm from another life and nothing you can do

For my sleep of snow and dreams of icy dew.

What can you do for me — you're not a singing harp

My secret will remain lone, crying in the dark.

You're not a singing harp in accord with my soul —

To take my own song — the song of joy and woe.
