WITH MY EYES, YOU

You surely dwell within my heart;
How could my eyes behold you?
What skill it is to place me in your dimple,
I live through winter and summer with you.

Your silken hair suits you, strand by strand,
How beautiful it is to believe in love,
Honey spills from heart to lips,
It is hard to portray you in words.

The gatherings you enter turn to daylight,
You lead the weary from steep slopes to level ground,
A true beloved never gives way to anger,
Your gracious face makes you so dear.

Thinking forty times, you speak but once,
Seek no spite or pride; you love no discord,
Peace, serenity, and light surround you,
Your magnificent coyness is captivating.

The red of your cheeks comes from buds and roses,
I’d call you a rare beauty, a pearl, a jewel,
A keepsake remains from painter Halil:
I etched you in my heart, true to your essence.
