AUTUMN

   

I wish all a prosperous, colorful season & enjoy my poem, now in English, as promised:

                AUTUMN

Your sun rays touch me and feelings

Of sensuality stir in me. My awakening

Isi primordial. I’m the enchanted, ready

to give, to bloom, to surrender.

                      AUTUMN

I’m thirteen, you are the boy on the next

block whose name I never knew. The one

who brought me a flower every morning.

I’m sixteen you are the one who serenaded

me under the weeping willow on the meadow

at the edge of the stream. I’m nineteen, you,

are the husband I always wanted. I’m twenty

a young mother, I watch the world burst

with love in my baby’s eyes. Life goes on.

And now in this new lovely autumn, I say,

Your rays are generous. And my awakening

Is primordial. I’m the enchanted, ready

to give, to bloom, to surrender. Because

   you have arrived in great splendor!
