Poem Number 19737
Forbidden Rose
--
You will think about her as about your first bride
To the point of tears in your dreams.
We did not inhale her fragrance together,
And you did not bring her to me.
--
She was brought to me
By that winged ruler of gods and muses,
When the peals of the first thunder
Glorified our terrible and fatal attraction
--
That union that is called separation
And is torment to the hundredth power,
That is the purest and blackest of all.
--
