Away from you, my passion seemed perished; <br />I decided with my heart that blind devotion to sever. <br />I held a grudge against it when I determined to quit <br />And vowed not to return for ever and ever! <br /> <br />In the vast space, the free bird raptly spread wings; <br />But long distances finally wearied the eagle above. <br />Then, by chance, today I met again my old darling, <br />How I felt suddenly relive our past autumn’s love. <br /> <br />Is it repercussion of the past or lure of the time? <br />The yellow-turned leaves are on the tree to dote. <br />Has this soul still been affected by the old fall <br />When I saw your hand picking up my overcoat? <br /> <br />“Put it on lest you might catch a cold out there! ” <br />Your tender words evoked so lovable your style. <br />I silently scanned you, although in a short instant, <br />With that affectionate look and that sweet smile. <br /> <br />I felt kind of fragile crystal in the atmosphere, <br />Hesitant to receive it, fearing waking up to the true. <br />I had sat admiring you through the whole afternoon <br />To get deeply entangled in my desire for you. <br /> <br />At this moment, however, watching you see me off, <br />I have to leave you in the cold winter wind rife. <br />Hanging my head, I desperateley count the steps: <br />Shall I be thus a solitary traveller for all my life?<br /><br />Nhuan LeXuan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unfinished-symphony-2/
