Now and then

Now that you have gone

And magic you have done

Leave me my soul,

For you consummated your goal

My ghoulish self, which is so stiff

Can never be caressing or can bring blessing

Rather, it blackens living and even the strongest would give in

Now that I’m undone

And everyone from me has gone

Even the red rosy

Which never sounds drowsy

Secretly is leaving

And that tortures me without ceasing

Even my hazel eyes

Which at the sight of them my joy would rise

Are sneaking and newfangelness are seeking

My ghoulish soul 

Should look for a mole

And both dig a hole

So that they can hide

 To shun the impending tide   26.12.2009
