Burn Me

In the emptiness of a flute
a silent wind swept through
echoing out a slow melody
which this fire burns to

Its scorching flame awakes the sun
the scars of night cleaved apart by the horizon
bleeding upon lost autumn leaves
the cries of the flute increase
burning the lonely leaves as it please
scattering them like ashes through my veins
Oh you golden saffron flower dressed in thorns..
Burn me

Ever since I saw the veil on your face
the curiosity of what lies beneath became ablaze
I ran through the valleys of night
to perhaps find your burning light
like a falling star lifetime flashed by me
slowly my moon was buried in solitude’s sea
now the gloomy waves move my cry..
Burn me

Washed up on a lost island
I silently stretched forth my hand
touched only by the whispering breeze
as I prayed there on my bare knees
through the flute moaned the soul’s hunger
the unspoken words bore no longer
screaming out all the pain..
Burn me

My love burns even this fire
that inside me blossoms just higher
see the agony that in my eyes glow
tears of betrayal from its depths flow
the water of my life is drowned in hate
that even the gazelles lament my state
I cried once and a thousand more will come..
Burn me

Don’t ask how long I shall burn
as purity is the only thing I yearn
the path of love are not for the weak
tranquillity you may somewhere else seek
a true lover knows only pain
and so he is called insane
now let the weary-hearted flee
as my soul longs to be set free
Burn me..
