a quick translation

i saw this poem by an unknown author(?) at elämänpolkuni. i just had to do a quick translation in english and post this up.

only once
i will spread myself at your feet
and say
take me.

if you hesitate, stay there
i'll move on.

if you want to lay down your rules
tell them to a tape recorder
i will close my eyes and smile quietly.

if you don't want me as i am
then no go.

if it is too much for you
that i accept you
not as a statue of god
not as a sign post
not as the law
but as a person
then go and find yourself another
goddess.
