A drama with lyrical affection <br /> <br />The cold draft bursts into the house, <br />It freezes, winter bangs on the doors, <br />A single tear hangs on the eyelash, <br />Like the yearning - of mine and yours… <br /> <br />If you are hopeful and trusting, <br />Your soul is full of passion… <br />But somewhere whines the dog, <br />Somewhere vanish constellations. <br /> <br />The hope never dies, the hope <br />Is our glamour and our sweetness, <br />Your tear resembles the yearning, <br />That seeks its nest in the heavens. <br /> <br />A hungry man darns his dreams, <br />He has to support his kids, <br />But his wife thinks of the guy, <br />Who’ll turn her grief into bliss… <br /> <br />But the kids – the heavenly gifts, <br />By their warbling put out the fire… <br />The cat grieves at the fireplace, <br />Reading the woman’s desires. <br /> <br />But no! She remains a faithful wife, <br />She must help her spouse. She must! <br />The cat resembles a tax collector, <br />Eyeing ashes with a hidden lust. <br /> <br />11.12.2OO2. <br /> <br />Translated from Georgian<br /><br />Janri Gogeshvili<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-hungry-man-darns-his-dreams/
