The tangled window

Georgian version here

* *
*

The tangled window,
night and curtain,
a flickering candle
left, forgotten
after a vision
of you, in the twilight
departed
to never return.

Laughter, fire,
bitter tears,
extraordinary
shining eyes—
glorious and dismal,
A tempest of ideas
departed
to never return.

Those brilliant
extraordinary eyes
that so vividly pierced
the darkness
like a far-off
flash of lightning,
departed
to never return.

And with those eyes
I think, a song
miserable, vile, died
with an avalanche.
And my own life
took this path:
departing
to never return.
