Light & Dragonflies: Nature Poems/Love Poems - 11. In the lap of evening
.
Aus den schwarzen Falten deiner Augen zucken Dolche
zurück in seine Hallen schlägt mein Herz
tastet scheu
Säule um Säule
nach dem Gewölbe deines Angesichts
Dein Atem trägt den Arm voll dunkler Wälder
und sein blaues Meergefieder schlägt der Tag
in der Sonne Goldgelächterflitter
alle Hände voller Silberblumen
springen Bächlein durch der Adern
Sturmgehölz
und der Stirne blumenwilde Wiese
senkt die windgeschwächten Schmetterflügel
in des Abends weltenweiten Schoß
---------------------------------
Daggers flash out from the black creases of your brilliant eyes
while my heart beats back into its chamber
shyly groping
from stone pier to pier
in search of the high vault of your features
Your breath carries armfuls of the deep forest
and its blue sea-plumage that hammers daylight
into sun-tinsel and golden laughter
to fill every hand with silver blossoms
and stream little streams through the vein-creased
woodlands
above plains of flower-wild meadows
where wind wearied butterflies lower wings
in the lap of evening’s worldwide grasp
