September Moons


Now rigid september 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
wide 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
