Autumn smells on you.. Refik Martinovic

 

 

Silently autumn comes
and sadly dreamy rains pour
I carry a stalk of yellow dandelion  in my pocket
for our happiness
and I carry you in my heart
so that the radiance of our love
does not go out.
Autumn smells on you...

And when it lost  us
that autumn, it breathed lightly
and cried with yellow leaves
on the sidewalk of my street
I hid you in my bosom
while the wind broke the dry branches in the park
and the bench spoke alone.
Autumn smells on you...

Let it never be forgotten
the autumn I do not like anymore
I have captured you, my dear,
in my songs
together with the soggy birds
which flew with us
when there was thunder and darkness
you were never alone.
Autumn smells on you...
