It Is That You Have Fled From Me Poem by Nero CaroZiv

Dear love, shall I repent? for stealing a kiss
From your lovely cheek? just above the lure valley of your breast
Succumb to the temptation, when I first saw you: such a grievously amiss
That by no means it may be undone? or by somehow amended? regretted?
No revenge you have pursued, and the next to come
Another kiss that I had in raw passion my life succumb
Vising the bright beams of your fair eyes
Make me wander in orchards of paradise


But then you have fled from me, which makes me deliriously seek
like a drunken man with barefoot stalking your ghost image in my chamber
Where once I had seen you so gentle, tame, naked and meek
Roaming in the kitchen I loved at your two breast doves to peak
That now you broke free, wild and our days you do not remember
That since you have left me, oblivious to outside great danger
You the one that fed bread at my palm hand, now you range
Busily seeking in foreign fields other love with a continual vain lustful change

True I shall admit my fortune for crossing path with your life; otherwise
What joy or happiness could have been so rare and special
I recall in thin array after a pleasant guise
When your loose gown slid down from your shoulders beyond the ankle it fell
Exposing the silhouette of lovely stature, breast too intoxicating to tell
And then you caught me in your ivory arms warm long and small
There withal sweetly as ever sweet you did my lips passionately kiss
And softly and lowly in divine voice whispered "Dear heart how you like this? "

Was I delirious? not entirely, it was not a dream, I lay broad waking
But now all is turned through my gentleness
Into a strange fashion of forgivable forsaking
And reality is forcing me to let go of your goodness
Abandon, as you continue to roam in this worldto search pity and kindness
But since I, so kindly of you, have been generously served
Forsaken I stood at pebbled shores and your sailing ship I observed
I fain would know if life has bestowed you what you have deserved
