Light & Dragonflies: Nature Poems/Love Poems - 3. Hands like tired butterflies
.
Traurig welkt der Sommer deiner Augen
und es suchen deine Sinne
irre Bienen nach dem Honig ihrer Lust
ins Geplänkel deiner Lippen mit den Worten
Streckt sich Schlaf
und der Hände müde Falter
senken der Gebärden Flügel
in den Abend deines Bluts
Bis die Ebbe deines Auges
wieder Flut wird
und von weißen Tempelstufen deines Mundes
Worte stürzen
laute Kinderschar
treppauf
---------------------------------
The summer of your eyes sadly wilts now
and your senses are like mad bees
searching out the sweet honey of their passions
through the banter of your lips with their sweet’ning words
But stretching sleep
with hands like tired butterflies
begins to fold gesturing wings
in the evening of your force
until the ebb-flow of your eyes
becomes high tide
until the white steps of your temple-mouth can crowd
with children once more
who run in laughing play
to you
from you
