To My Dear One

To my dear one

You are beautiful my beloved
Like the apple tree among 
the trees of the forest, 
so you are my dear one.
Like the beautiful colors of the rainbow, 
so your smile is my dear one.
Like roses among thorns, 
is my dear one among the young women.
Your eyes are like doves, 
so beautiful they are my dear one.
Your lips drop sweetness as the honey comb, 
my dear one.
How right am I to adore you, 
my dear one,
Because you are beautiful
Tattoo my name in your heart,
For pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes.
You have awaken my heart my dear one, 
Until the day breaks 
and the shadows flee, 
so my love for you will remain,
For your love is more 
delightful than wine.
My dear one is the purest gold,
You have stolen my dear heart my dear one,
Like the stars in the sky, 
so your eyes shine so high,
Open to me, my dear one
For my head is drenched with rain.
I have taken off my robe
Must I put it on again?
I have washed my heart, 
must I soil it again?
Oh, if only you were to me like a sister,
Then if I found you outside,
I would kiss you and lead you 
and bring you to my mother’s house.
For you have arouse and 
awaken my love until it so desires.
