I would let go all enduring sorrows Lifted like a curse, A difficult time, so many times.
In the Autumnal of my life I would become like certain birds And stay home for Winter's stretch, Where I was forsaken before Like a lonely solstice, You bring with you new seasons.
And as I am now Like a tired horizon over an Un- majestic setting over a people Long on their own lives, Over the repugnant solitude Of a lone island, You bloom as it's first carnation.
As I am just a man now, I grasp at new beginnings with a Consolation of a certain rebirth, If your arrival means I must Leave my world behind and live Somewhere, somewhere new, I long for this, Already lonesome is a type of death, As I am now, revived as a kiss Of fresh air received me, All my being aches for you;
And taken as I am, I shall not be as I was, For in the Autumn of my life I find a blossoming Summer in your Embracement, Firmly I feel the veins filled With your presences, Lost in the labyrinth of your Anxious romance, I live the sweetest clarity....
And you take me as I am, I will never be the same.
