The Love never fails

From closeness with you,
My face was covered with purulent sores,
It’s true...
And those who saw me turned away.
But what is that compared to
The wounds you inflicted on love?

The love is not a feeling,
And certainly not one of the five feelings...
My whole being was so struck,
As if it had been deprived of life,
An endless cold filled my heart.
And only the merciful Lord was near.

Perhaps, Adam died like that,
Having tasted of the Tree unlawfully,
And was expelled from Paradise,
Having dissolved poison in himself, instead of Light.

A day passed like a thousand years,
And a thousand years passed like a day.

Tormented, holy – the love remains.
The Love never fails,
And although she shines in the same way –
But it will not touch you,
It will never touch you again.
This is engraved in Heaven,
Divided by a line unknown to you,
Crowned in Eternity.
