A little poem

Lorenz

In the softness  of may 

you were waiting for me ,

 So many years ago ...

You're now an old lady ,

perhaps have you one or two

grown- up children ?

You've certainly forgotten me ...

How many fleeting  conquests 

I have made on spring mornings

in a park lost in the midst of time 

and the indecisive hours 

in the seduction  clock  ?

What happened to this little poem,

hastily wrote on a page of my notebook ?

I read your smile's message ,

young girl already won over ,

a little crystalline  chuckle 

and like a delicious  fear 

faced with the inescapable situation,

but just a word,a look, a desire ,

a confused season cloud  passing by 

and you are my  inspiration ...

 We both have  now gray in our hair ,

do you remember this comedy ?

Some remorse and a lot of regret ...

All we have engraved on the bench 

was but a travelling passion ...

This little poem scribbled in a hurry ,

faded into so many serious letter ...

But you were this gift of the present ,

chance doesn't exist  if we want it so much ...

        "There would be many moments of happiness in life, if only we could slow down the passage of time and dwell on them longer".
        That is a marvelous poem, my friend.
