She Flames, She Rejoices… Poem by Janri Gogeshvili

The contrast

A man loves a woman,
The screen defeats the life,
The passion forces its way,
And the housewife
Flies into rage, looks grim:
She can’t love…
She can’t bear her spouse,
But refuses to lose him…
She storms and rages
Watching others’ passion,
Blooms like a violet,
Flames and rejoices.
She takes the ardor for love,
Can’t heal the sinful desire,
And can’t make out why the nature
Has set her heart on fire…
The screen defeats the life,
Teases it with tricks and temptations,
It rules over the couple by steal,
Storms and rages
With the spectrum of passions.
