Not Sweet

VORLESEN

Not Sweet                                                                                       

 

When you are tired and come home

You let your gaze rest on her face

As shimm’ring dust floats through the dome

Or deer in snow leave a trace

 

Her eyes are soft and warm and fond

Like half closed lilies in a pond

They do not ask, they do not speak

But see that you are weak

 

Her eyes embrace your eyes to calm

Your hardened heart ’s becoming smooth

Snow melts and spring sprouts of her palm

The dome is there to soothe

 

You both know she’s not always so

Some wounds she heals she stroke before

But resting on her face you know

Love cannot softly glow

 

She is no woman of your dreams

But heroine of your dreamless sleep

Like those hot springs in ancient Greece

She is not sweet, but deep
