Last Night I Waited Long

Last night I waited long...
The moon will appear of the murky clouds
But it didn’t…!
And I soothed my sorrowed soul
As this… 
If tomorrow! You call me 
To the ruined almonds-garden
In the backyards of the lonely cottage!
  And angrily say:
  ‘Now it’s very late… It’s late-autumn,
 The last birds also return, in just a few days:
    You blame me, and I see you silent eye in eye…
Though these days will as seconds pass,
Still, we can turn them a year’s each,
At least, longer than the customary years.
And as there the long-separation is anxiously waiting,
Promise! Promise…!
We will always see,
In snowy winters, and autumns-- 
When leaves fall of trees.
And I say yes, I swear…,
Of the dog walking there through the pasture—
 An unknown way,
Knowing not which hamlet will it lead…!

Or better if you hold my finger
And guide me
To there the quiet pasture,
Where only thick thorns grow;
Though the butterflies there strange,
Romance the unsightly flowers.
We walk
In and around the thorns,
A slow stopping walk,
And momentarily pause—
Gaze our eyes
And realize...
We are together
And are in love…!
