BITTER SWEETNESS

By Yasen Vedrin
(The Vine of Engadi)

“How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! 
how much better is thy love than wine...”
(Song of Solomon 4:10)

I wanted you like wormwood wine, in foam!
To taste the bitter flavor of your breath.
With tenderness inside my sips to roam.
Within my thoughts a song to defeat death.

A path I walked – to find you and possess.
A night I stayed – alone beneath the skies.
A dream I dreamed – to drink your tenderness.
A wish I wished – to steal the dream that flies.

I found you now. An aged wine to share.
A magic moment has captured every word.
Pour in my heart! No pity and no care!
And stay a bitter sweetness – yet unheard!
