Two Birds Poem by Tilly BoescheZacharow

Two Birds

Rating: 4.2


Two birds
are fluttering through my mind:
a black raven and a white dove.
The black was ruling
and I killed you.
Now he has lost me,
the dove want to rule -
but I have nobody to love,
only myself!

translated from the German by Werner Manheim
Speaker: Max  Berghaus

Zwei Vögel
durchflattern meinen Geist.
ein schwarzer Rabe  und eine weiße Taube.
Der Schwarze siegte,
und ich tötete dich.
Nun hat er mich verlassen,
die Taube trat ihren Weg an,
Doch es gibt niemanden mehr, ihn zu lieben,
außer mich selbst.

The black was ruling and I killed you. Now he has lost me, the dove want to rule - but I have nobody to love, only myself! An amazing poem about the ambiguity that rules over human mind and its affairs. Thanks for the sharing of this nice poem.10++ for it.
