We Need the Dreaded Autumn

Gray haired orchards are still smoking in birds
Our inner plains revolt in signs of the zodiac
The longing creaks in white petals
Northern winds plan spreading of harvest 

We need the dreaded autumn...
Foals still wash their manes in dreams
The echo of romance spreads withered leaves
Last night I dreamed storms in daffodils 

Nature’s nightmare tumble tumult
Bucks thrust hunger in wolves
Snow stormy hour entangles in hair
Frost bites the sweetness in hives 

Gray haired orchards are still smoking in birds
Our inner plains do not believe in dreams
The echo of romance spreads withered leaves
Last night it felt like snowstorms in daffodils. 

 (written in my teenage years, translated now)

Mi-ar placea daca ai posta si varianta originala in romana... Se simte ca ai suferit atunci cand ai scris poezia asta si faptul ca ai pus-o pe hartie atunci ti-a mai vindecat ranile. Cred ca avem nevoie si de suferinta pentru a pretui clipele frumoase. Cu drag, Emilia
