I see A. A. Milne
everywhere I chance to look
what haunting is this

What haunting is this
whispering softly to me
'yes, he is the one'

My English may not be to the good but , as you say, here goes-

yes he is the one,
and we are the two who know
of this secret thing

Well done che!

Of this secret thing
others knew, walking along
the enchanted way

the enchanted way
that our time has dissapeared
like the winter snows

like the winter snows
the summer rains, the autumn
falls and spring has sprung

and summer sunny?
and winter bleak and bitter?
could it be re-versed?

Wordless poetry
silent songs, motionless dance
are oxymorons

Are oxymorons
comparatively unique
