Autumn kiss

My September, why do you speak of autumn?..
In the powerful sky, giant clouds.
There is still enough warmth for everyone, almost enough.
You are not about cold at all, on the contrary!

You are not about despair and not about parting.
You are about inspired stars, like poems.
About flowers that reach for a hand:
“Take me, hold me, don’t leave me!”

The last flowers, late, like hopes,
Weak and extraordinary at the same time –
They stand, like a challenge to September's actions,
Whispering: “Not yet, not yet!..”

A little more sun is needed for the last time.
A little more sky is needed for reserve.
Until the ray that kisses the morning,
Fades in the rose petals.
