How embarrassed did I feel
on a scale from let´s say one to two?
When my eyes the very ones that are mine
in a sudden decided to sneak away
and take a look at you
leaving my imagination all and well behind

Sooner than I thought though
they were back to report
that you were one of a kind
yes probably of the very sort
that for me
would be a safe and precious port

My intention then first and uppermost
was to blame and scold these rascals
now back in their fold for taking advantage
of my naive and distracted soul
yes for experiencing exciting and joyful things
out of my control

But who am I to be but a human
if my curiosity did not get the upper hand
so with a sudden flush
I pulled myself together and asked:

"this graceful woman of yours
did she scorn or ignore me
or was I bestowed with a glimps of hope
and if this matter is mould in such a way
that she inclined towards me will be
what then will she demand of me?"

Had they only been able to
I am almost certain that they would
have given me in playful stereo
a cascade of mocking looks
because they teasingly smiled and said:


"the very least to do
if the slightest guts and prowess
there is in you
is to gather and then artfully
on a gillet fix
every star that upon heavens
spheres there is

Your offer then bring to her at once
and if that suits her resonably well
of the pleasures she might give
no one can tell."

But then you who had everything
seen and heard
looked me in the eyes
and said with a tired smile:
"would you like
to join me for some coffee
or a plesant cup of tea?
I am a bit sad and down today
you see."
