My beauty,
in the evening when you hold
my head in your lap,
your dark eyes are the spring
from which night flows over valleys,
mountains and plains
to cover the world
with a sea of darkness.
So black are your eyes, my light.
translated by Andrei Codrescu
Wonderfully beautiful.
Glad you think so.
sounds similar to the ‘Song of Solomon’ Beautiful
Ah, interesting association.
probably because I cut my teeth on the KJ version of the Bible…
