September Moons

 Now rigid septembrine moons
 in the northern sky diffuse
 long clouds' shivers, and in hearth
 more loneliness and more sorrow
 to the mind sharper smiles
 a desire of returns
 widthe open window in the autumn
 which effuses it's languors
 like crying of invisible violins
 there streets and men
 mansions and churches
 wrap up in a timeless light
 what ever is left to me ?
 Behind your hairs I eye the sea
 violet in the sunset,it's not evening still
 and that within your glance
 is dead the passion, indeed the life itself
 and your smiling bitter reveals
 that I feel old and you lonely and far
