Let's Talk Turkey

I am in love not only with his smile and radiant face
but also with his wrath and contempt.
He has asked for my head
I do not care if I lose it
what makes me ecstatic
is Him asking.

Here someone is hidden
who has taken hold of me
and does not let me go.

Hidden somewhere inside, my beloved and I
have dissolved in each other.

No beauty in the world can ever tempt me for I see only
the face of my beloved.

Here someone hidden appeared
holding love's wine
and to him I've given all my vows.

One day you will take my heart completely
and make it more fiery
than a dragon.

Your eyelashes
will write on my heart
the poem that could never come from the pen of a poet.
