"Close your eyes", Paruyr Sevak (translated by metamorphesque)

[feral-ballad]

Paruyr Sevak, from Anthology of Armenian Poetry, ed. & tr. by Diana Der Hovanessian and Marzbed Margossian; "Your unripe love"

[Text ID: “Your unripe love and my too ripe pain / were pushed together by Chance; / forced to travel side by side / by Circumstance. / And even when we sleep together, / knee to knee, / your unripe love and red-ripe want, / like the edges of the legendary sword / of chastity, / keep us two cool blades apart, / your unripe love and my too ripe heart.”]

— Paruyr Sevak, from "Close your eyes", tr: metamorphesque

[sunlighthroughthe-ashes]

there's this fragment from a poem by armenian translator and poet paruyr sevak; that i wholeheartedly believe sums up the nature of sunjae's emotions towards sol: "you have become so tender / and so vulnerable, / as if you're living without skin. / — that's love."

sunjae has no defenses when it comes to sol. from the first time he looked at her warm, sunlit face; to that last cold night in the darkness; lying on an open road — his heart was hers and hers alone. he belonged to her across timelines, across universes: across and beyond the finality of death itself.

he offered up his whole soul; his whole self — to sol without so much as a protest or murmur. he handed over all the unguarded parts of him; the aching intimacies, the hungers of a thousand hopes. "have it," the soft solemnity of his eyes always said to her, in every single scene. "have it all. have all of me. who else but you was meant for all this possession?"

with or without his memory, sunjae never tried to resist the spell of sol's smile, the sacred song of her touch. he surrendered to loving her in a heartbeat — he was fated to fall for her in every universe.

he never fought it. he never tried to hide it; nor the naked longing that lingered in his mind: a beacon of light leading him to sol. sunjae walked into his love for her with his arms wide open.

and he never let go, not even for a second. 💛💙

Viene sempre per vie inesplorate e non segnate,

Come l’acqua quando piove o il disgelo di primavera,

Questo è l’amore.

Da secoli gli Olandesi lottano per sottrarre la terra

Al mare, l’onnipotente mare,

Strappano la sabbia all’acqua, a granelli, un pugno alla volta,

Questo è l’amore.

Quando il colosso di una nave si avvicina

Ai bassi ponti sospesi del fiume,

Essi gettano i bracci in alto –

Un gesto di resa immediata.

Questo è l’amore.

Tu allegramente conversi con tutti intorno a te,

Dando risposte rapide, come una macchina,

Ma nella tua mente tu parli solo con lei,

Lei che è lontana da te,

Il cui nome è tutto ciò che tu possiedi –

Un passaporto dove manca il timbro ufficiale,

Questo è l’amore.

Il tamburellare delle tue arterie risuona come stillicidio,

La specie che si apre la strada attraverso la roccia,

Di notte, l’insonnia tesse una rete impenetrabile,

Non è una rete per i pesci,

E’ spessa abbastanza per poter strangolare la gente

Questo è l’amore.

Tu scopri che sei cresciuto vulnerabile e tenero

Come se a un tratto tu fossi costretto a perdere la pelle,

Questo è l’amore.

Due occhi senza sosta ti inseguono,

Due occhi e due stampi che bruciano i loro marchi nella tua vita,

Nell’acqua che tu bevi, nel tuo mondo

In ogni tua goccia di sangue.

Due occhi,

Due stampi,

Due fuochi,

Due ferri per marcare,

Questo è l’amore.
