THE TROUBLE OF YOUTH — poem

THE TROUBLE OF YOUTH

---------


Waiting, waiting—

eyes grow heavy,

watching, watching—

they burst into rapture.


Gathering, gathering—

lips tremble with longing,

blossoming, blossoming—

a smile unfolds.


Noon, evening,

then the following morning—

the theft takes root

and spreads through the heart.


Where can it end?

Ah, the trouble of youth!


Yet that very trouble

is love’s fragrant jasmine—


the moment

two hearts

feel as one,


a garden of love

where no deceit

ever enters.
