That Early Autumn's Night

That Early-Autumn's Night 
.......................................

That early-autumn's night...
While your wrestler-like brothers played cards inside , 
Laughing aloud, till late night ;
I was shivering in cold--   Standing-hiding under the old deodar 
In your fortress-like house's forest-like grassy yard.

Your landlord-like great-grandpa in the painting 
Twirled his moustaches 
Took me as a thief ;
While i raised my hands towards the starry sky 
Seeing the sitting-by old-lion-like dog.

Man becomes mad --
In such strange fits in true love ;
FEAR bows down --
Fearing the fiery eyes !
