splendid autumn evening

 

Do you remember that autumn evening,

we were wandering in the woods,

where we sometimes went to dream,

forgetting the monotonous hours,

the birds, desperately,

had sung under the foliage,

all the day long, 

but they were wise

in their nest rocked by the wind.

The stream in a soft murmur,

rhythming its course in its own way,

zigzagged between the bushes

and played under the branches,

the tall trees swayed lightly, 

sowing their shadows.

Sometimes the sky was dark,

when the moon disappeared

and we loved each other 

with our closed mouths.

Under the woods 

with their black gestures,

charmed by this evening kiss,

our hearts had said 

many things to each other.

Your beautiful eyes, 

black as the night,

with the piercing reflection of your soul,

burned with an ecstatic flame.

My happiness was infinite,

we both go as before,

breathing the scent of the great woods,

on this splendid autumn evening.
