Essence-Ουσία Poem by Kostas Lagos

Essence-Ουσία

Rating: 5.0


Painful is your absence

Hurtful is your presence

A pint of beer I drink

For I've learnt love's essence



Οδυνηρή σου η παρουσία

Επώδυνη σου η απουσία

Βαρελίσια παραγγέλνω μπίρα

Βρήκα της αγάπης την ουσία

Aye beer! Let us drown the pain together, my friend. Brilliant interpolation in that both presence and absence of the object of your affection is equally painful.
