“As Never Before” by Lőrinc Szabó

I would like to unwrap you entirely
From the clothes of the flesh
And spy upon in a new delight
What are the bones of your body like.
Because I love your whole body
And all the things which build you outside and inside,
I’d like to know everything
What is so good for me in you.
I love your teeth
And your fingers, joint by joint,
In your kiss the flavor of your
Vertebrae is hiding.
Your two legs brought you as messengers,
Your wrists revolved and rose you
Your ribs offered your breasts
As your arms offered the hug,
And these bones leant over me,
Fell in love with me, and they
Always were the faithful servants and nurses
Of the beautiful hours.
How couldn’t I love what you are,
And everything what is invisible
What is beyond the outer existence
And it’s already a divine mystery?
I would like to unwrap you
And carefully put you in order again,
Then if it exists, I would like to
Hide into your soul dreaming as never before.
