PLEASE SMILE
I'm lost in you; that's the truth, and
you create all this magic because you
are all the pleasure. Please, smile; let
me know; I am a beautiful tale of
waiting; let me know my days and their
beautiful moments. Yes, without your
smiles, I have no days, and without
you, I have no moments. Please, take
me; teach me life; teach me the cities of
the delicate world. Your smile is the
beginning and the end; it is
amazement, and in its absence, I do not
exist. When you smile, I fade away like
a delicate dream, and when you look at
me, I melt like a candle without light.
8
Yes, your smile is all I want to see, and
your eyes are all I want to see.
9
YOU ARE ENOUGH FOR ME
I am lost in you, and I am happy
because you are enough for me. I want
you to know one truth: that I am
always grateful to you, in amazement
before you, and in joy with you. And
there is another truth: that you are
enough for me, because you are all the
deep pleasure. And there is a third
truth: Your green eyes are the most
beautiful thing I have ever seen. In the
end, I want to tell you a last truth you
should never forget: You are my reality
10
and my dream, and without you, I have
no reality, and no dream.
11
I WANT TO WRITE TO YOU
This is how I want to rest a little, to get
away from everything and everyone. I
feel like I want to rest a little, and write
only to you. Your beautiful presence is
enough for me.
In the midst of my silence and this vast
space, I find myself knowing nothing,
wanting nothing, or searching for
anything other than you.
I feel like I need to write to you. I will
spend long hours writing to you, long
days writing to you, and long years
12
writing to you. This is a covenant and
a celebration.
All I feel now is one thing and one
thing only: I want to write to you, only
to you, of all people.
13
IRIIGATION
My breath is as hot as Indian pepper,
and from my voice fiery chants flies. In
my heart are destructive storms, but
my eyes are elegant and furnished,
from which flow raging streams whose
water never runs dry towards you. My
dreams are so deep and delicate; for I
live in my deadly longing for you. How
do you want my heart to have a roaring
water that calmly irrigates everything?
I feel your warm voice touching my
depths so strongly, but your elegant
fingers write nothing. Thus, under the
weight of silence, I always try to stand
14
in the middle of the road and whisper
in a soft voice in the ear of the days,
hoping you feel the warmth of my
touch on a green leaf that reminds me
of your eyes.
15
THE STREAMS
Oh sun, come, come towards me. Hear
my pulse, it is clear and knows no lies.
Come, let us smell the flowers of the
streams and feel the capitals of beauty
in our depths with stories that embrace
the tree on a quiet evening.
These streams are full of green wishes
and colorful whispers. They know love
well and know the color of dawn whose
breeze captivates our hearts. Come,
come towards me so that your eyes
may light up the place.
16
HOW OFTEN
It is easy to kiss a flower or travel far
toward love on a long night? And it's
easy to sing in the evening when the
wind caresses your cheeks like a
butterfly dancing among the trees. Oh,
how the trees love to touch the face of
the river. How often your shadows told
me of the colorful paths, and of all that
gladdens my heart? How often do I
remember the features of your face on
mornings caressed by the breeze? How
often have I been dazzled by its
captivating fragrance? How often have
17
I drawn with your shadows a warm
hug and an unforgettable kiss? How
often have I spent the night dreaming
of your eyes among the hills, of your
enchanting smiles among the magic
waterfalls?
18
I WILL LOVE YOU SILENTLY
I will call you silently, speak to you
silently, and whisper to you silently, for
your presence and your imagination are
enough for me. When you pass through
my mind, flowers bloom, the sun takes on
a different face, and the morning takes on
a different color. When you come in my
dreams, candles are lit, nights are
illuminated, my heart beats fast like a
gazelle.
Yes, I will love you silently and miss you
silently, for you are a beautiful, elegant,
and distant being like a chandelier. I will
19
not let you feel me. You will not feel my
voice, my words, my fingers, or my touch
when I touch your nice face in dreams
with all my love. You will not feel my
longing and you will not feel my
eagerness. I promise you, from now on,
you will feel nothing but that I love you
silently, for you are something so precious,
delicate, and so distant.
20
IN FRONT YOUR EYES,
EVERYTHING SINGS
Your eyes are the color of the morning,
and when they knock on the doors of
dreams, my longing shines on a cold
winter night, as if I am a forgotten
story that has returned to your embrace
before sunrise. I still walk to you with
joy, and your voice is a silver river
whose pure air I inhale, telling me all
fascinating stories. I see the faint light
of your eyes sparkling green, where
everything sings. Yes, in front your
eyes, everything sings. How happy I
am with you and those unforgettable
21
moments; colorful and soft moments
like a pearly face and a calm smile that
captivates me every morning.
22
PERHAPS YOU DON’T KNOW
When my eyes see your radiant face,
thoughts dance within me like warm
shadows. The noise of your presence is
what pierces my silence. Perhaps you
would like to see my soul leap for joy
across the meadows. Perhaps you don't
know how the light of your eyes revives
cities deep within me. Perhaps you
don't know that you are the light that
awakens every sleeping part of my
feelings. Perhaps you don't know that.
23
YOUR SMILE
I remember your smile, it's like delicate
morning flowers. Your colorful smile
has always taken me far away in a
strange dream. It's always had a
strange effect, a strange melody, and a
strange echo inside me. Believe me,
your smile is my best friend. I've
always sat under its shade like a tired
traveler, and I've always hidden among
its leaves like a silent story. Your smile
in the morning is captivating and
refreshing like lemonade, and in the
evening, it's a celebration that fills my
life with passion.
24
This is how – because your smile- I
became a sailor and a traveler. This is
how your smile fills me with happiness
and taught me the roaring of water and
the songs of birds. Because of your
smile, I've become a lover, don't you
see?
25
HOW CAN I
I love you so much, but how can I tell
you with all this vast space between us?
How can I see your amazing blue eyes?
How can I feel your breeze touch my
soul and my depths amidst this terrible
absence? Your ethereal fingers caress
my dry lips. My words are deep and
sincere, coming from my heart, but
how can I tell you that if we don't talk?
Your voice is so beautiful, but how can
I hear it? Your blue eyes are a strange
world that attracts me so much, but
how can I live in their soft light? You
are a river of sweetness and a waterfall
of songs, but how can I taste your
26
beautiful smiles or see the sparkle of
your eyes? How can I?
27
YOUR MORNING
Your morning refreshes my heart. It
tells me that love is something
dazzling, and that it is a companion
like your gentle soul.
A morning with you is something
different, for you are the jewel of the
sea that only a legendary lover can
understand.
Your morning is delicate but also wise,
where your voice is as enchanting as
your blue eyes. Yes, your charm is
something dazzling. You were sitting
there in all the light, and I couldn't get
enough of looking at you. How could I
28
get enough of looking at you when
longing overwhelms me?
I couldn't help but greet you and seek
you out. You are my eternal destiny.
Your morning was filled with longings
hidden behind eyes and words. In fact,
that morning I was listening to you
with my heart, because you are the
only one in the world who speaks to
my heart. Don't you see that your
morning made me a legendary lover?
29
I AM THIRSTY
I am thirsty for you, and all I have in
my hand is a flower and longing. I am
so thirsty for your blue eyes, and for
your unforgettable radiance. How did
all this happen without me knowing?
You are rooted inside me and penetrate
deep into my soul like a precious and
unique treasure. Perhaps you do not
know that I live on your memory, I
search for your name and your smile.
Perhaps you do not know that I kiss
the letters of your name passionately,
and hug your pink picture
passionately, hoping to be quenched,
because I am always thirsty for
30
something from you. Perhaps one day
you will think of passing by here, just
to say hello, just to see your eyes, it will
be enough for me and quench my
thirst.
31
WHEN I TALK TO YOU ABOUT
LOVE
Isn't it beautiful to live to witness my
heart filled with love? Love is
something pure and wonderful, like
your blue eyes. I only knew it through
your smile. You who taught me love.
Don't you see that I become more
beautiful when I talk to you about love
that transcends everything? Don't you
feel that my moments smile when I talk
to you about love and that a part of me
remains bright? Here I am, waiting for
the rain; do you see this flower, it's my
32
heart? And do you see this cloud? It's
your smile. Yes, I know you are inside
me, and I also know that you are a
magic that never leaves me. Here I am,
talking to you about love to shake
hands with the depths. Yes, when I talk
to you about love, your spirit embraces
me, and when I talk to you about love,
I kiss you in secret.
33
ONLY WITH YOU
Only with you do I begin to feel my
absent and strange self. You are the
blue stream that revives all the
deadness within me. Only with you do
I feel happy, for the effect of your
presence is unimaginable.
Only with you am I so real, may be
strange or unfamiliar, but I am free.
Yes, only with you am I real and free,
and that makes me happy.
Only with you do things take on a
different face, times take on a different
meaning, and waiting takes on a
different flavor.
34
Only with you do I feel for the first
time that I have found something that
I have taken so long to find. Only with
you do I feel hope in your hopeless
love. Yes, only with you do I know
happy moments.
35
YOU ARE MY ONLY FRIEND
Perhaps you don't know that I have no
other friend but you. You appear every
day with warmth filled with love,
teaching my heart loyalty.
Here, a desert heart quenched by your
smiles, trusted you, and threw all its
weight into you.
You are the only friend I speak to
tenderly in front of the screen. Yes, you
are my only friend because I have come
to know how pure you are. When my
hand touches your name, flowers
bloom, and when my eyes see your
image, my soul is purified and smiles.
36
Yes, you are my only friend, and here
is a heart carrying love on its back, and
greeting in its eyes, and a painting of
the most beautiful stories, you are the
heroine of it; my pure friend whom I
adore.
37
I WILL STAY HERE
I will stay here, behind the silence and
behind the curtain, sitting alone at
sunset, remembering you.
Yes, I will stay here without you
because I have learned the meaning of
love and fear? And I have learned how
deadly the moments of separation are?
This distance is slowly killing me,
stealing my soul that never tires of
mentioning your name.
I will stay here, stumbling among the
memories you left inside me. Ah; how
intense is this separation. It spreads me
in the air like the wind, so I touch your
38
cheeks with all my love, and I delve
into your lips with all my tenderness.
Then I return with a story written by
separation and your stinging distance.
39
YOU ARE A FLOWER OF LOVE
Love has a magical, wondrous story,
like a rainy night that opens its eyes at
dawn, so the springs overflow with
flowers and birds, and the souls of
things and their desires smile in rosy
hues.
Love has a garden where longings
sleep, and a river that fills the earth
with fragrance and color.
And here you are, a flower of love with
all this profound impact. In your blue
eyes lies a magic that makes me forget
everything.
Don't your words smile like an Indian
wedding filled with joy? Aren't your
40
eyes filled with lights that illuminate
the place, and aren't your hands filled
with a unique fragrance and morning
sweets? With your love, my depths fill
with a joy your eyes cannot see, but my
heart feels it strongly, and that's
enough for me because you are a flower
of love.
41
EVERY DAY
As usual, every day, I search for you
among my papers; I search for your
name. You have no idea how my face
lights up and a smile spreads across my
lips just by seeing your name among
the names that have passed by here.
As usual, every day I wait for you
impatiently, as if I've lost something. I
await your special presence, your
special shadow, and your special
letters. Perhaps I would like to tell you
how happy I am that you came just to
say hello.
42
Every day I write to you, I feel that you
are close to me, listening to me, so I
express to you what is inside me with a
strange clarity that has never happened
before. You are the only person I feel
safe with, the only person I trust
among all people.
43
SILENT LOVE
Every day, I silently love you, I silently
want you, I silently wait for you, I
silently miss you, and I silently dream
of you. This is how I live this silent love
with great passion and great pain.
Every day, I joyfully write you touching
and profound words, even if I don't
know if you're reading. This is how I
live moments of happiness with you,
knowing that you know nothing about
my silent love.
As always, every day I need you, I need
your presence, I need your sight, I need
your writings, I need your shadow.
Every day, I need to tell you clearly that
44
you are so precious and that you have
taken up residence in my heart with all
its strength, and this is what makes me
happy with my silent love that I will
not tell you.
45
I WON’T TELL YOU I LOVE YOU
I won't tell you I love you, because I
know that love dies when it's exposed.
I will never tell you I love you, because
you are something precious,
wonderful, and dazzling, and I don't
think I deserve you.
I won't tell you I love you, because I
fear being apart from you. Your
presence makes me happy; your
shadow makes me happy, and your
departure makes me happy.
I won't tell you I love you, because I
know you're not mine and can't be
mine, so I won't tell you I love you.
46
I won't tell you I love you, because I
fear losing your eyes and your smile
that taught me the joy of life.
I won't tell you I love you, that's a
promise. So never worry.
47
I KNOW YOU
I know you, and I know that your eyes
don't lie, that they are as pure and blue
as the sea.
I know you well, and I know that your
smile is enchanting and honest and
that it transforms the morning into a
different and dazzling story.
I know that your radiant face captivates
the place, steals the spotlight, and
transports me to dreamy islands.
I know you, and I know that your heart
is a vast space, filled with indescribable
compassion and honesty.
48
I truly know you, and I know that you
are as deep as the sea, your thoughts as
great as the sky, and your words as
brilliant as the stars.
I know you, and I know that you are
so different and you are a sea in which
I have drowned.
I really know you, even though I know
nothing about you except that I love
you. Yes, I know that I love you, and
that is enough for me.
49
NOISY CALM
Your love makes my days as quiet as a
rural tale. It makes me wait for you
with a noisy calm, and when your face
shines, I lean like a spike of wheat, and
when your eyes smile, I turn into a
heart that fell into the well of love long
ago. Your love makes my days clear,
without clouds or storms. Yes, you are
my warm homeland. Don't you see
that? Don't you see that my soul
blushes when it sees you? Now you see
that nostalgia suddenly flows, when
your ghost visits me, it fills me with
calm, a noisy calm. Every day, my
50
coffee and I enjoy solitude; I smile at
the dawn and sing to the sunset for no
other reason than that I adore you and
that I await you with a noisy calm.
51
YOUR BLUE EYES
I'm still drowning in your little river. I
still cling to the moment we met, even
though I know your smiles are an
enchanting world and your blue eyes
something unforgettable. Despite the
splendor of your light and your radiant
appearance, you come to my dreams
with elegant celebrations and moonlit
music. Do you know how beautiful it
is for your blue eyes to be all I dream
of? I have become just a strange
longing, like a painting on the water
played with by the wind with its
beloved pain. It is ridiculous for me to
imagine that I would die of love, from
52
looking into your blue eyes. If only you
understood for once, if you would stop
sailing far away, for your blue eyes to
look at me; at my heart.
53
DON’T YOU SEE THAT
Don't you look at me? Don't you see
that inside me are warm desires? But
they're wrapped in a cold blanket.
Don't you see that the snow is your
touch, the fog your color, and the
silence your voice?
Don't you see that? I can no longer
hold on as I should, and although in
my eyes is a love you cannot imagine
and a flame of longing, I am completely
collapsing.
In truth, I am now soft whispers and a
torrent of faint, muffled calls fading
slightly toward the sunset.
54
Don't you see that I dream of your blue
eyes every night? Yet I tell you frankly
and simply: In my quiet heart is a
strange noise, a torrent of longing for
you.
55
YOUR SHADOW
Here, your shadow captivates the place
like a shining bird playing in the rain.
It speaks to me with the joy of a lover,
with blue eyes that sigh like a cloud
that never tires of rain.
Your shadow fills me every day with
sighs of longing. Here, in this pulse
and in my veins, it dwells deeply. Your
shadow has mingled with my soul and
body, and we have become one.
Your shadow is as sweet as an apple, in
whose space butterflies live among the
roses, and geese dance in its waters like
56
the songs of the sun. What a delicate
shadow!
Your shadow is a field of bright colors,
a gazelle swaying happily on a swing.
It fills the leaves of my heart with dew
and a delicate chirp.
Every day, your shadow offers me the
songs of morning wet with the breeze.
How it amazes and captivates me as I
wander among your landscapes, touch
your pearly cheeks, and drown in your
blue eyes.
57
WITH YOU
With you, I live in happiness, for your
smile is something indescribable and
unbelievable, planting in my heart
every hope that never fades. With you,
I've become more beautiful, for your
blue eyes have drawn every cheerful
color and every tender story on my
face.
Only with you, I'm sweeter, for your
lips are made of honey, like pink
grapes. I can't tell you how I dream
about them.
58
With you, I travel to magical cities, live
magical tales, and live in magical tents
that fill my heart with joy and
happiness. With you, I've become
purer. You're something that
transforms everything around you into
purity. Only with you, I feel myself,
and I feel contained, fulfilled, and
sufficient. Only with you, I want
nothing else.
59
HOLD ME CLOSE
Hold me tight, your hands soft like a
morning flower and your blue eyes
sparkle like ancient lapis lazuli. They
are a ray of sunshine, yet they are
immersed in silence. Their eyes are
closed, not wanting to see me.
Hold me close in the evening alleys, to
erase this vast estrangement in my
soul. There is nothing here but the
sound of the wind, quietly stealing my
joy.
Hold me close, the roads and windows
like bracelets, speaking to me in a pale
voice that no longer knows how to deal
60
with its delicate suffering. I no longer
know how to travel, and I don't want
to.
I just want you to hold me close. Only
you.
61
YOU AND I
You and I are from there; from the
world of beautiful hearts where we
meet the truth, and lines that know
nothing but honesty and purity.
You and I are a story of silver snow
soaring in a wide space without
falsehood.
You and I are a delicate hand and
delicate lips in a sky far from the
falseness and pallor of my city.
You and I are a very white voice, a very
fragrant flower, and a very delicate
river whose beginnings are from your
blue eyes.
62
You and I are a love story, where your
fragrance is endless, your light is
endless, and your tenderness is endless.
63
I KNOW YOU ARE AN ILLUSION
I know you're an illusion, and I'm
happy with this illusion, and that's
enough for me.
I know you're something impossible,
and I like to strive for you, even though
you're something impossible. How
happy that makes me.
I know you're a distant dream, but
believe me, I'm grateful to be living this
distant dream.
I've become so convinced that you're
an illusion that I've given my mind and
reality a vacation. I'm like the ancient
sages, but I've given my wisdom an
64
early retirement because I'm truly
happy with this magical illusion.
I've become so convinced that there's
no way to your blue eyes, your
charming smile, or your luminous face.
I've become certain of that, and yet I'm
immersed in the dazzling joy of your
existence.
I know you're an illusion, and what a
beautiful illusion you are.
65
IT IS A MATTER OF LOVE
Isn't it nice to live in a time that fills
you with love? So, I became more
transparent and smiled. Don't you feel
that many of those stars have come
together? There is little left to shine
love. Yes, I know, and I know it is a
matter of love, and it told me about the
deep gaze. So, extend your hand to
shake hands with the depths and
overcome the strange absence. Yes, I
will and we will celebrate. Imagine if I
were sitting on the hill and not talking
to you, what would be the fate of love?
Yes, the fate of love; It is a matter of
love.
66
WARMTH
How warm is your voice. And how I
love to burn in my longing for you like
a candle. Then I fly in your wide space
like hot leaves floating on the surface
of the water carrying all the wishes.
Oh, the warmth of your eyes that
envelop me with fragrance like
bouquets of roses confessing to you
every morning that you are something
sweet. This is how I shine in my
longing for you, but I become weak
before your green eyes because they are
simply incredible.
67
You are the embodiment of all the
warmth that enchants hearts, and your
hands have every touch that lovers do
not know. You are that magical,
unforgettable story. You are something
incredible.
68
OH SUN
I will smile this morning with all my
strength, its silky threads remind me of
your wonderful radiance, and its
colorful birds remind me of your
delicate tales that plant everything
unforgettable inside me. Oh sun, isn't
it strange that we meet in a boat of
wishes and fleeing dreams? Where
your golden hand weaves paths that
know no calm. Back then, I was a free
wild bird carrying in its heart every
story that knew nothing about
volcanoes. Isn't it strange that you have
all this dew? Like a kiss that dyes my
soul with the colors of the rainbow, so
69
I take out in the midst of astonishment
a delicate ear of wheat that overflows
with happiness from your eyes, its
beginning.
This is me, oh sun, a pile of undulating
outpourings; I sail towards your
glowing magic that knows no night or
sleep. There; longing fills the very
warm streams and embraces the very
warm trees, so I vanish like a tale that
knows no distances.
70
EVERY YEAR I LOVE YOU MORE
I asked every rose in our garden and
every tree near our house to tell you
frankly: Every year I love you more.
Today, in this charming morning I
spoke seriously with the sun, and we
decided to tell you one fact: Every year
I love you more. It is the last night of
December and what I really remember
are our moments where I love you
more. Now, on this night, specifically
in this intimate winter moment, I listen
well to you and how Every year I love
you more. When I sit next to you, I
love you more, and when I talk to you,
I love you more. In fact, every moment
71
I love you more, and every year I love
you more.
72
I AM NOT A POET
Who said I'm a poet? No, I'm not a
poet. I just sit there on the river bank
celebrating your great flood. It's every
waterfall and breeze from the pure
balcony where the voice is free and
every story has no end.
Yes, I am not a poet but I can count
the beats of my heart honestly, and see
the features of light in your eyes
clearly. As for those dark walls, they do
not hear the call nor see your beautiful
eyes because their hearts are gray and
their hands are yellow.
73
Yes, I am not a poet but when your
hand touches my heart, I see the depths
and I burn without tears.
74
THANK YOU FOR BEING MY
FRIEND
Thank you for being my friend, your
presence is a gift and a joyful world.
Talking to you is a sweet song and a
beautiful dream, and the moments of
your presence are a strange reason for
happiness.
Thank you for being my friend. You
are a sunshine in dark days, a shining
star in dark nights, and every strange
breeze removes the worries of a gloomy
day. When we laugh together, we laugh
deeply and when we grieve together,
75
we grieve sincerely. You are truly
amazing.
Thank you for being my friend, my
gratitude to you is limitless, and my
happiness with you is limitless. Your
smile in the morning brightens my day
and lights up vast gardens in my soul,
and your words in the evening water
the fields of dew inside me,
unforgettable.
76
GOOD MORNING
I flow into your shadow like a very
delicate morning and I wander through
the corridors of my longing for you,
but I find nothing but the remnants of
longing that devour me like a quick
meal. This morning is bright like your
memory, except that I stand there
under that tree waiting for you like an
ear of wheat, when you pass by with all
your strange splendor and strange
charm. I touch my heart to get closer
to you, and I look into my eyes in the
mirror to celebrate with your
enchanting specter. This is how I live
77
with your mornings that scatter in the
place like grapes that are still in the age
of roses.
This is how I always try to get closer to
you. To send you every word that is
wet, pampered and graceful. This is
how I overflow with a call and a
stream, and I flow before your eyes as
a voice for a distant wish, for no reason
other than that I want to say to you:
good morning.
78
A POSTPONED KISS
I will melt in your love like the holidays
in my country, without slowness or a
postponed kiss, for love does not know
dull songs.
I will disappear in your love, for you
are my beginning towards the cities I
know; filled with all the warmth. You
are my story that falls violently like a
waterfall kissing the foreheads of the
valleys and trees. Yes, this is how I
learn the song, this is how the eyes
smile at their lovers, and shine from
there; from your sleepy kiss where
every dove swimming in the Euphrates
79
at noon. This is how I blossom with all
the kindness like a dewy rose whose
lips the morning kisses, so they turn
red like a pink dream that fell one day
with the rain.
80
YOUR WAVES
Here I am, longing for you with all my
might. Here I am, waiting for your waves.
Come toward me, for captivating
moments and a love that knows nothing
but the roar of the river and its rushing
waters. Here I am, learning your love
songs; the face of the water is a soft mirror,
and I am the echo that fades within you
without return. I will know the joy of your
flowers; I will sing you a delicate song,
perhaps it will remind you of something.
I will wait for you like a tree overflowing
with every color that caresses joy. I am
81
preparing with what I have, give me
enough chance, for I am a torrent of
longing. Here I am, waiting for your waves
that penetrate my pores with all passion
and without postponed features.
82
WITHOUT YOU
Without you, I no longer have the
desire to swim in the wide river,
because it reminds me of your stories.
I no longer have the desire to walk
among the palm trees and grapes,
because they remind me of your smile.
I no longer have the desire to talk,
because it reminds me of your
captivating voice.
Without you, my fingers are faint in
the wind, the wind that made them
pale like my soul. How could this
happen? How could I forget? It is part
of me, part of my heart that melts in
83
the midst of a strange longing, in the
midst of a strange nostalgia.
Without you, the air is not sweet to
caress my glasses, and astonishment is
the daughter of your barren absence.
There is only a dry shadow, and you
know that nothing remains of me but
faint dreams. Yes, my soul is faint, and
my heart is stolen.
Without you, I am a stranger on this
earth, stealing the sweetest laugh from
time. In my pocket, there is nothing
but loss. I am not worthy of this life, I
look with joy at the pictures of my
memory, and smile with sadness.
84
YOUR EYES ARE A LOVE SONG
Your words are smiling roses, like
happy holidays and your green eyes are
full of soft lights that gently illuminate
the place. In your hands are baskets of
love that sway like small, moist
branches amidst hearts and valleys, so
that the paths overflow with love. Your
eyes are a love song I get lost in, so I
disappear in my longing for them, then
the valleys are filled with gazelles and
deep joy. How happy I am with my
longing for your eyes.
85
TRAVEL
You and I are a vineyard of grapes and
endless joy. We travel in our small
boat, never to return, as if we were a
tale of blue lapis lazuli, resembling
your eyes. We travel on a carpet of
wind, never to return, roaming the
galaxy like spring butterflies that never
know sleep. There, time is sweet like
grapes. There, bright songs are released
every morning. Then, we fly, yes, we
fly and stretch our hands to the clouds
amidst smiles. What a joy! What an
endless travel and endless satisfaction.
86
Yes, your blue eyes are an endless
branch of joy.
87
WHENEVER I SEE YOU, I SMILE
A sun with blue eyes, this is what my heart
knows about you, and something else I
know: that whenever I see you, I smile.
I remember all your features, how elegant
you are, and when you come in my
dreams, you light up everything, and
everything smiles.
I sit under the orange trees near the
stream, and I see your face in the water
and smile. Yes, whenever I see your eyes,
I smile.
Wishes here fill my heart, flying apart but
silence consumes me, and I quietly
88
withdraw from everything. But as soon as
you appear, everything changes. It is only
when I see your face that I smile.
Why do I smile every time I see you? Why
do I smile every time I see your eyes?
89
A RAIN DROP
I am a raindrop, and you know that
rain is a love story that falls silently to
refresh the depths.
Yes, I am just a raindrop that fell on
your window in the morning with all
love and longing.
I remember how wishes looked at you,
and how the wings of the wind carried
my silent kisses. But when the longing
overflowed inside me, I fell on your
window as a raindrop.
Yes, when my longing for you
overflowed, I became a raindrop.
90
LOVE STATUS
Let's paint on the face of time a
captivating picture in which the streets,
places, and times laugh.
Let's be immersed in love. Let's fly
without wings, for love is a vast world.
Have you seen love? How do you
prevent a passionate heart from being
fulfilled? How do you imagine you
could restrain a heart melting with
longing? It's incredible, even the trees
we passed, and that bird, yes, and the
light in your eyes that I remember so
91
well and also, the screams, yes, how
beautiful they are, it's amazing.
But how can you not feel, or see all this
passion? And how can you not fall in
love? Why are you so silent? Why don't
you tell me I'm in love status?
92
I DON’T LOVE YOU
I don't love you, but I miss you so much.
I don't love you, but when I see you, I melt
with longing.
Who said I love you? But when you're
gone, I feel lost. Time fades with you like
a cool breeze before sunrise, and laughter
fills the space like colorful butterflies.
I don't love you, but your face never leaves
my mind. I don't love you, but whenever
I remember you, I smile. I don't love you,
but I'm truly afraid just imagining your
absence from me.
93
Every day I wait for you with heat and
longing. I wait under that tree like a wet
bird, like a withered flower, and when you
come, my face turns red and I fly with joy
like a feather.
94
REMAINS
I am the remains of a flower in a thirsty
garden. I stretch my hand toward your
flowing river, counting the moments of
despair that fill me with a strange
solitude that places me on a forgotten
cliff.
I am here waiting for you, waiting for
your rain; waiting for your call without
hope or a whisper. I have nothing but
this unforgettable solitude. Nothing
but remains drowning in a strange
silence and a strange distance.
Yes, I am the remains of a forgotten
story. When I wake up in the hands of
95
longing, I recite all the passionate
poems. How I wish you would shine
upon the remains of my thirsty fields.
How I wish you would feel me one day,
to touch with your hand what remains
of me.
96
COME CLOSER TO ME
Come closer to me, let's write a
beautiful love song. Come closer, here
is a warm tent and a moist hand.
Come closer to me, sit here, under this
tree, here is a bird singing and a pink
flower that never lies. Come, reach out
and shake my hand. Come closer to
me, and remove all the leaves of
distance and gray veils. Come, let's
sing of love, and write a poem on this
beautiful night. Our hearts are warm
and full of dreams. Come and sit; don't
stay standing, for my eyes are tired
from tears and my heart is tired of
waiting. Come, warm yourself with
97
tales of love, for our souls are pure
rivers that never know cold. Come
closer to me, let's write a new story.
98
YOUR LOVE IS A SECRET
Your love is a summer flower drawn by
a dreamy lover, gathering baskets of
longing, carrying them on a horse's
back, and sending them every morning
toward your blue eyes.
Your love is a secret, a magical tale that
resides on distant islands within me
that only you can touch.
Your love is the joy of the morning.
When it opens its eyelids, I melt into
its breath like a wet bird, and I sail in
your eyes without a boat toward oases
of warmth where secret springs lurk.
99
Your love is a wild tale, a journey into
the depths of the soul, upon whose
branches lie colorful birds. I wish you
could smell its captivating fragrance.
Your love is a secret, something I can't
tell you.
100
IN FRONT OF YOUR BLUE EYES
In front of your blue eyes all the joyful
things sway before me, and dreams
dance lightly and endlessly,
penetrating me like a happy,
unforgettable story. It's your blue eyes
drawing a smile that melts all the ice
the galaxy knows. I wonder at this
enormous amount of ecstasy and joy, I
wonder how lucky I am to have these
moments that snatch me away like a
delicate, invisible bird. In front of your
blue eyes, I am something unseen. In
101
front of your blue eyes, I am a pile of
feelings that are neither felt nor seen.
102
I FEEL
Whenever I see anything from you, my
heart blossoms and soars without
return. I must tell you that I need you
to feel myself. Yes, I need you
desperately and without delay.
Come a little closer so that the flowers
may bloom. I feel nothing without your
nectar, and I am nothing at all without
your presence. I only feel happy when
I see your blue eyes.
Come closer, so that your light may fill
my weary soul and my poor heart.
When I see you, I feel my pulse and the
beats of my heart, all thanks to you
alone.
103
After a long darkness, I feel my soul
that was absent and find my lost
happiness. I feel the light of your eyes
penetrating me deeply.
104
ALL THE ROADS LEAD TO YOUR
EYES
Your eyes are a morning garden of
flowers overflowing with tenderness
and softness. When I look at you, I
wander aimlessly and endlessly.
All roads lead to your eyes, everything
reminds me of your eyes, it seems I
have no escape. I no longer see
anything but your eyes, I no longer
remember anything but your eyes, and
I no longer want anything but your
eyes.
105
How infatuated I am with your blue
eyes, how imprisoned I am with your
blue eyes, and how lost I am in your
blue eyes.
I see nothing without seeing your eyes,
I hear nothing without remembering
your eyes, I wake up in the morning
and breathe in the fragrance of your
eyes, and no evening comes without
me going mad with longing for your
eyes.
Your eyes are my eternal illness from
which I will never recover, I am certain
of that.
107
you about many things, whose
whispers I have begun to feel in my
heart?
I will tell you about a boat of dreams as
I travel in the breeze. I wish you could
have seen that. How strange it is, a
swallow singing in the corners of my
hope, and a sparkling river carrying me
to a floating city. I saw them there. I
mean your blue eyes shining amidst
the trees, and on your lips postponed
laughter, a faint color that I thought
was your love.
108
AN EVENING
How beautiful is this warm evening?
How short it is! In it, I saw your eyes,
your golden eyebrows, and your rosy
lips. All the beaches welcome me, all
the orchards and moonlight greet me,
even the place and all the paths make
me feel warm because I am with you.
It was a delicate, fragrant, and colorful
evening, unlike any other; it celebrates
your eyes and your bright light. Oh,
this evening that loves your elegant
clothes, your elegant walk, and your
elegant smile.
109
I want to tell you something. I tried to
send you messages every evening, to
find you every evening, to see your eyes
every evening. But I say it sincerely: I
am so grateful, so grateful to you. You
don't know how happy I am with you,
with the memory of your eyes and the
memory of your smile that never leaves
me.
110
EVERYTHING REMINDS ME OF
YOU
Everything reminds me of you. Do
you see the morning? It reminds me of
you. Do you see the evening? It
reminds me of you. Do you see the
sun? It reminds me of you. Do you see
the moon? It reminds me of you.
Everything reminds me of you.
If I look at the sky, I remember your
blue eyes. If I look into my heart, I
remember your strange tenderness. If
you touch my face, I remember your
beautiful face.
111
Everything reminds me of you. Even
when I write poetry, the poetry
reminds me of you. If I read a love
poem, it reminds me of you. If I feel
my heartbeat, it reminds me of you. If
I see a beautiful bird, it reminds me of
you. If I see an elegant rose, it reminds
me of you. If I hear a beautiful voice, it
reminds me of you. Everything
reminds me of you.
112
I AM GRATEFUL
I am grateful that you are here, that
you fill my life with bright and elegant
colors.
I am grateful to you because you are
different and wonderful.
I am truly grateful, and I have nothing
but to thank you for this abundance,
this contentment, and this
imagination, all from you.
I am grateful, and I will always be
grateful, that with your presence you
revived a spirit in me that had been
absent for years.
I am grateful that, because of you, I
began to remember my smile, my
113
passion, my voice, my journey, the
birds and the rose; things I had
forgotten before you.
I must tell you that I am grateful to you
because your love is a wonderful thing
that has happened in my life.
I am truly grateful to you because the
happiness I feel with you has never
happened and will never happen again.
114
MY LOVE, I TRUST YOU
My love, I trust you, because you are
something full of truth and clear as the
sun. My love, I trust you as I trust my
eyes and my hands. Be my eyes with
which I see your blue eyes, and be my
hands with which I caress your rosy
lips.
My pure and clear love, you are a river,
you are a moon, and you are a soft
nighttime story. My love, how I trust
you, I trust your words, I trust your
looks, I trust your whispers and your
gestures.
115
My beautiful love, how wonderful you
are! How delicate, and how soft you
are. And how much I trust you. My
love, I trust you, so do you trust me?
116
FAR FROM YOU
Here, far from you, thirst inhabits the
eyelashes of my eyes that long for you.
The sunset has exhausted me, for there
are no birds here, no bright colors.
Here, far from you, silent moments
steal me and the joy of my morning.
When will you rise? When will the
colors of dawn rise from the distant
galaxies? Then my celebration will be
great with you.
Here, far from you, I dream of a
cheerful smile hidden among your
shores. Oh, my dearest one, teach me a
117
warm nighttime sigh and a gentle
morning smile.
Here, far from you, I learn nothing
but silence and solitude that steal my
breath. So, I look forward to seeing
your eyes every day. They're the only
thing that makes me feel like myself
and come out of my loneliness.
118
I LOVE YOUR NAME
I love your name, all its letters, and the
way it's written.
You don't know how my heart rejoices
just by seeing your name and its
elegant pink image shining on my
page.
Your name is the most precious and
beloved of names. Without it, no day is
beautiful, and my hours are empty.
When I see your name among the
names, morning comes again, the sun
rises again, the birds sing again, and
joy glows in my heart once more.
119
I love your name, its details, its colors,
and I love how it affects me and makes
me happy.
When I see your name, I rejoice more,
I dream more, I love you more, and I
adore you more.
Yes, every time I see your name, I love
you more.
120
HOW I WISH
How I wish I could drown in your eyes
without looking back.
How I wish I could meet you under
the shade of a leafy tree on a delicious
summer afternoon. There,
unforgettable stories greet me.
How I wish I could see you when the
sun rises, and see you at the sunset
laughter. There, where the bright
shores lie. There, toward the
transparent love, I await nothing but
your songs. Yes, even the river with
you has its own sweet song.
121
How I wish I could meet you far from
the city and this strange atmosphere,
far from your deadly silence.
How I wish I could meet you far from
this distance between us...
How long, tell me? How long will you
remain standing like your smiles
postponed?
The sun's rays are beautiful in your
eyes, and the city's streets are beautiful
with you. Come to me, come to my
heart, for here is a world of fresh water
and an unforgettable hymn.
122
YOUR LOVE MAKE ME MORE
BEAUTIFUL
Your love makes me purer; its dazzling
light cleanses every aspect of my heart,
mind, and body of every bad thought
or action. Your love prevents me from
doing anything bad.
Your love makes me more honest; your
honest face and genuine expressions
keep me away from lying and
falsehood. With your love, I live only
the truth and seek only the truth. Your
love prevents me from lying.
Your love makes me more beautiful;
your blue eyes and rosy cheeks
123
overflow with vitality, elegance, and
joy. From them, I learn elegance,
gentleness, and softness. Your love
prevents me from anything ugly.
Your love makes me wiser; your wise
words and truthful lips plant within me
all that is wise, rational, and balanced.
I become one of the wise men. Your
love prevents me from saying anything
unwise.
124
YOUR WORDS
Your words are bright orange, dripping
with honey. Oh, their magical clarity
and captivating scent have touched me
deeply.
Your words are soft, warm grapes, so
sweet, so serene.
Your words are so whispery, like an
Eastern poet melting in longing. I wish
you could see his glowing heart.
Your transparent words are an endless
gift. Their taste is as cool as the shade
of a tree in lush fields.
Your words are butterflies swimming
in a river. Oh, they are raindrops
gathering glittering things.
125
Your words caress the face of the dewy
morning and the heart of the humid
evening.
Your words are cedar forests, in whose
hands sleep magical tales.
Your words are beyond imagination,
but they are truly a wonderful gift on
this smiling day.
126
I AM HAPPY WITH YOUR LOVE
I am so happy that I love you. My days,
hours, and moments in your love are
unforgettable.
I am truly happy and grateful for your
love. Without it, I wouldn't have felt
this great joy, this great peace, and this
great light.
I am happy with your love, happy with
your eyes, happy with your cheeks,
happy with your lips, happy with your
smile.
I am happy with your love. In it, I
learned the meaning of longing, the
meaning of yearning, the meaning of
127
waiting, the meaning of morning, and
the meaning of evening.
I am so happy that I love you. You are
a different person, a different kind, a
different thing, and a different world.
How can I not be happy with your love
when you are a dazzling, unrepeatable
world, and a shining star that fills me
with light and joy?
128
YOUR EYES ARE MY WORLD
Your eyes are my world, and I desire
nothing else. I truly desire nothing else.
Your eyes are my world, and I have
lived with them for hours and days,
deeply and intensely.
Your beautiful eyes are my happy
world, my hidden world, my only
world, and my very special world,
which I desire no other.
Your blue eyes are my beloved world. I
do not miss them because they are
always with me, and my blood inhabits
them.
129
Your eyes are my world, and all these
flowers, colors, rivers, and birds are an
outpouring from them.
Your eyes are the world in which I
truly live. Your eyes are enough for me,
and for that I am very grateful to you.
130
OH BEAUTIFUL
Oh, beautiful, bring back my heart, my
memory, and my dreams, which have
always been colored by the pink
blossoms of your soft hands.
Oh beautiful, when will my heart
rejoice with your blue eyes? When will
your train stop here under the shade of
our smiling tree?
Oh, beautiful, didn't you know that the
sparkle of your eyes has illuminated my
surroundings, and that its magical rays
have revived dreams and fresh tales?
Oh, beautiful, you haven't given me a
chance to think of anyone but you, and
131
I no longer see nothing but your eyes,
and I know nothing but your love.
Oh, beautiful, don't you see the path of
my yearning? The path of love instead
of this pile of silence.
Oh, beautiful, what truly makes me
happy is that this is the first love my
heart has known, and the first train I
have waited for with joy.
132
OUR TALES
I'll fall asleep a little to enjoy our songs
before dawn. Yes, I love your voice, but
I love traveling in your love even more.
Your deep islands that the birds told
me about, I almost burn with longing
to see them.
With the break of dawn, I went out to
the field early, to gather our tales in
warmth, amidst rosy dreams.
Excuse me if I stared too long into your
blue eyes. They are my dreamy world.
Everything I saw in the dewy morning
hours was a story about you: flowers
and valleys of joy and butterflies in all
133
their spring femininity combing the
hair of happiness.
They are our tales. Yes, our tales don't
lie. And behind this silence, my
postponed beginning awaits me. Your
smile awaits me. I no longer want
anything else.
134
YOU ARE MY BELOVED
You are my beloved, the one I dream
of every day, want every day, and love
every day. You are my precious
beloved, when I sleep you are the last
thing I think about and when I wake
up you are the first thing I remember.
You are my beloved, the companion
who resides in my heart and who never
leaves me. Yes, your image and shadow
never leave me.
You are my beautiful beloved, your
blue eyes are the sea, your smile is my
big world, and your radiant face is my
eternal home. You are my beloved,
135
whom I will never forget. In your love,
I have lived my most beautiful dreams,
my most beautiful and important days.
You are my beloved, and I know you
are something distant and impossible.
You are my beloved, even if you are an
illusion and a dream. You are my
beloved, and I know you will never be
mine, and I will never own you.
You are my beloved, but I will not call
you that, and I will not tell you that.
You are my beloved, and that is enough
for me.
136
I WRITE TO YOU
I write to you, about you, and about my
love for you every day, every morning
and every night.
I write to you because I need to, want
to, and love to. I write to you because
writing to and about you makes me
happy and comfortable.
I am writing to you, and I don't know
if it is right or wrong . I write about you
every day, and I am not sure if it is the
right thing to do.
I write to you and I never get tired of
it. I write to you time and time again
every day, and I do not know if it is
right or wrong . I wish you would tell
137
me if what I am doing is right or
correct.
I am writing to you with all my
strength, and I am not sure if I am
doing the right thing. I will keep
writing to you, about you, and my love
for you until I am certain that what I
did was wrong . I will not stop writing
to you until I am certain that it is
indeed wrong .

OAK TREE
Peace be upon your eyes, and upon
your warmth that touches the corners
of my heart in a time of cold.
Aren't you a flower that the days have
always told me about?
Aren't you a strange melody and an
unforgettable joy?
Here in the heart are scattered hopes,
from a lover who longs for you, who
knows you, who senses the colors of
your transparent voice.
O distant one, O river of longing, and
smile of light. Your love, that oak tree
that lives in my heart, I never even
thought of touching.
139
A CUP OF LOVE
I will roam the valleys of love in the
early hours of dawn, warming my
glowing heart and brown horizon with
your blue eyes.
I will give you a song you've never
heard before. I carry it in my heart with
the remnants of longing.
When I met you in the world of
absence, your light so dazzled me that
I sailed far behind your voice.
You are a cup of love inspired by
wisdom. You are so similar to the pink
birds that told me my eyes were ablaze
with love.
140
Come closer, come closer, I am those
meteors falling in the courtyards of
longing. Come closer, come closer,
hear my voice. How I wish I could
write my name in a cup of love early.
141
A WILD LOVE
Oh, wild love, how could you invade
the corners of my dreams and my
closed worlds? You draw me into a
strange passion like a traveler lost
among the bamboo trees.
It is a wild love whose tales melt my
soul, touching the skin of the water. It
is soft, enchanting, and irresistible.
Let me sail endlessly into your eyes and
disappear happily into its waves. I just
want a stormy moment, where you
surround me with all the glittering
drops on your golden hills.
142
This is how my dream sings. I am not
skilled at pretending, but the drops of
ecstasy that wet the grass stir this wild
love.
O my beloved heartbeat, where did you
get all this purity? And all this glorious
existence? When I look at your smiling
face, bathed in pride, I remember
stories in which no one is lost but me.
143
YOUR BABYLONIAN EYES
I loved the sea because it reminded me
of your blue eyes, from which my
beginning and end are revealed. I loved
the sun because it reminded me of my
golden cheeks. I loved the evening
because it reminded me of your moist
whispers. Ah, how often we talked
about the morning and its radiance,
and here you are with your Babylonian
eyes, creating infinity in my heart.
Your blue eyes enchant the place like
an eternal lazuli honor and like worn
walls polished with ruby. Your
Babylonian eyes are sweet as honey,
144
and like the eyes of an angel playing
with a deer.
Your eyes are something indescribably
beautiful. They look at me, and I smile
without turning around. It is enough
for me that when I see your eyes, I
smile.
145
BEAUTIFUL EYES
Ever since I first laid eyes on your
beautiful eyes, I've been dreaming of lilies
and whispering my love to the moon.
There was no sun, only butterflies,
flowers, and more love.
Oh, beautiful eyes, send me a boat, and I'll
be on the shore, waving my hands to a
great love. Come, open the last lily you
loved. There it stands in the middle of a
purple pond, in a dreamy stillness where
the water touches the hair of light. If only
you could see my dream, I'd tell you that
the pond is a singing oasis, filled with
146
colorful spirits and rainbows, and there's
so much love here.
Oh, beautiful eyes, who came down to us
from the Mountains of Light, to sing
captivating songs: Look into my heart
enchanted by you.
147
I WILL LOVE YOU FROM AFAR
I will love you in deep silence and from a
wide distance. I will love you without a
sound, a whisper, or a song. I will love you
without telling you or pointing you out.
I will love you with every distance, with
every despair, and with every absence. I
will love you with deep absence and deep
separation. I will love you from afar, look
at you from afar, and be happy with you
from afar. I will love you secretly and
privately, between me and myself, and I
will not tell anyone about my love, not
even you.
148
I will love you forever until the end of life,
but in silence and as far away as a star.
