    ONE-SIDED LOVE

    POETRY

    Overflowing passion, sorrow for being unrequited, despair, and dark hatred, even sin… Sweet and bitter, sometimes fearful emotions are expressed with the images of animals and plants in three languages (this version: English). I hope a part of your heart vibrates with one of the poems.
