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.
