I Remember You As You Were

ภูโอบดอย

**Pablo Neruda**


I remember you 
as you were 
.....in the last autumn.
You were the grey beret 
and the still heart.
In your eyes ......
the flames of the twilight fought on.
And the leaves fell 
.....in the water of your soul.

Clasping my arms ....
like a climbing plant
the leaves garnered your voice, 
that was slow and at peace.
Bonfire of awe in 
which my thirst was burning.
Sweet blue hyacinth 
twisted over my soul.

I feel your eyes traveling, 
and the autumn is far off:
grey beret, 
voice of a bird, 
heart like a house
towards which my deep l
ongings migrated
and my kisses fell, 
happy as embers.

Sky from a ship. 
Field from the hills:
Your memory is made of light, 
of smoke, 
of a still pond!
Beyond your eyes, 
farther on, 
the evenings were blazing.
Dry autumn leaves 
revolved in your soul.
