We are two trunks ignited by lightning <br />Two flames in the midnight forest; <br />We are two meteors flying in the night, <br />The double-stinging arrow of a single fate! <br /> <br />We are two horses whose reins are held <br />By the same hand, - bitten by one spur; <br />We are two eyes of a single gaze, <br />Two trembling wings of one dream. <br /> <br />We are a pair of shadows grieving <br />Over the holy marble grave, <br />Where ancient Beauty slumbers. <br /> <br />The two-voiced mouth of secrets shared, <br />We two make a single Sphinx. <br />The two arms of a single cross.<br /><br />Vyacheslav Ivanovich Ivanov<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-41/
