She Said Good Night Poem by Nero CaroZiv

She said Good-night! and disappeared behind a door like in a drill
Two so estranged words which sever those it should unite;
I wished to remain together for a while; the night was young still,
'Good night' that never was in essence good night.

We spent pleasant time in a café yet how can I call the night good,
If my sweet wishes were winged in the air into a flight
Summer night calm and bright; be it not said, thought, understood
Then it would have been a great day following a good night.

I guess we were not two hearts which near each other move
From early evening dusk close to morning Eastern light,
Then the night would have been good with full stars canopy above
Because we never would have said good-night.


The next morning summer was pure and sweet in sounds and rings
As a dew splendor did wrap and fall
On the little flower from my window which did cling
To the turrets and to the mossy wall


I remembered last night her light foot along the garden walk
By the moon sheen the light prattle and talk
And it shook my heart for a moment to think she might come once more
The echo of her steps as she closed the door


Left me behind; the gates of heaven for me were closed, and she was gone
