In a moment of exception
and in an ineffable
emotion focused,
through the rain in autumn
read
the image of time.

How I love you, the path of the heart.
Not for a moment
and even for a while ...

Oh the sound of water.

Look at me,
light of my eyes,
friendly gesture
and your fill
of good feeling to me ...
I open my heart.

Not for a moment
and even for a while ...
The two bodies bend
eager
bewitching
salutant
an embrace sacred.

An embrace sacred
even for a moment
and even for a while ...
cease to love you.
