On Her 'Rooftop-Terrace'

Here she comes, onto her “rooftop-terrace,” smiling

With a muted message in her fleeting glance !

 

This hazy air tinged with dusky reflections,

This desolate path … deserted lane … quiet evening,

The low wall of a house at the street corner,

Upon which is gently laid

A diffuse and silent spell !

 

This rooftop-terrace … familiar

With the sound of someone’s soft step,

This secluded place … echoing

With the strains of songs

Someone hums to herself  !

 

The charisma of someone’s lips

Spreads dreamily on all sides

Like angel dust  .
 .
 .
  light-specks of smiles,

Delirium raining down

From the sweet wine of someone’s gaze,

Someone’s slender, silver-bangled arm

Raised in a silent gesture of greeting !

 

With her elbows resting on the parapet,

And the air of a Diva,

Stands someone … coyly blushing and silent

With a muted message in her fleeting glance !
