Raven Fire

I was challenged by D.Elicious to pen in dutch

Haar haar is zoals de zomer,
Het rolt zacht als krijt over een witte rots
In de branding van gitzwarte beekjes.
Haar aanstotelijke lippen zo rood als papaver.
Die zo velen keren
Je konden bedwelmen met hun kus
Leidde tot het slapen in bloembedden
Zoals de herfst bladeren vielen
van de tot hiertoe ongeschreven,

en ongelezen boeken.

Translation...


Her hair is summer,
rolling soft over chalk white rock
in rivulets of raven fire,

that ignite the lips of poppy red.
That have so many times
intoxicated with their kiss

and led to sleep in flower beds
of autumns fallen leaves,

from books as yet unwritten

and unread...

Author's Note
