On my wife's birthday

 

under the golden pago moon
 
how spurious the moonlight
now hushed and discarded by the wayside
like the hoary and quiet feline
reclining motionless by the door!
 
was it a mere dream when first I loved,
when the pago moon bathed the islands in sheer gold,
and the ulu tree leaves surrendered themselves
to the ethereal mass of the moonlight glitter?
how thick and stifling the pretentious illumination
that each perverse breath I took engendered
ripples of fluid molten lavas of gold
that ended up in the shores of my heart!
 
I first loved her then but she loathed me so,
for she walked away barefoot, seething
like a cauldron of gold, through the dusty village road,
her pure hands clasping her ie lavalava
while the sound of the flapping of the lower hem
blending with the roar of the incontinent waves
echoed in the amaranthine caverns of my soul.
 
and as the rays of the moon caressed
her exposed pure and flawless thighs
she burst into golden piercing arrows
like fireworks in the celebratory firmament,
rupturing forever my bleeding bosom.
 
how spurious the moonlight,
borrowing its luminosity from the rugged sun.
but even if it be chimera,
the soft and yellow creature in my soul
welcomes the wizardry of the moonlight
to refract dreams to reality,
for I loved her then and I love her now
and although she loathed me then
she must love me now
because I know that
you love last when first you love
and like the thick fluid golden moonbeams
love overpowers all those who bathe in its glow.
