I propose

one of my nights and a day to be yours only

I decided

to cease the travels of my head

to benumb the waves

only your sigh to be in my home

I close up doors, windows and all gaps to prevent the wind

 

my lady

you only for once

test yourself

make one day and night of yours for me only:

and break the line of all traditions

turn upside down all the rules!

From the surroundings

Family and acquaintances you creep away

From the stars and the moon …

from the cloud and the blue sky

from the hectic and burdening world

you creep away,

do not look at the clock’s dial

like the other days do not make yourself busy

this olden world will not turn upside down

only once

for a night and a day

kill the half woman and be a full woman!

I will be only yours for one night and a day

And you become mine only for one night and a day
