You Are Now

You have entered my house With your bright eyes in the shadows, With your presence. You are my moonlight dancing softly, As the autumn that falls on weary hearts. The twilight banishes the last beat of the Angelus across this distant sea. I am a blind man on a lonely waterfront... The deep night approaches Bringing your voice from the astral silence Lulling my temples with the caress of a secret tear. You have come to the hostile nameless city . I have you in my cosmogony... You appeared suddenly, like a celestial elf When emotions and miracles were not possible... You are now a poem, a song that arrives at midday, A deep secret behind the glass. I am a man who looks at your image With the child’s eyes and a beggar’s heart.
