I Named You Love Poem by Nilufer Dursun

AS THE SUN YOU OCCURS TO MY WORLD
THE ICY STLACTITES OF MY HEART
START UNFASTENING DROP BY DROP,
YOU REMİ ND ME AN OVER FLOWING WATER FALL
WHICH IS MADE OF EACH DROP.


AS OUR WORLD WHICH IS
ILLUMINATED BY THE MOON,
LIGHTING THE COMPLETE DARKNESS,
YOU SHINE A LIGHT AROUND ME
IT IS SUCH A MAGIC LIGHT,


AS UNNAMED THOUGHTS
UNEXPECTED Vİ Sİ TOR KNOCKING AT THE DOOR AT ANY TIME.
YOU,
HAVE TO BE THE LOVE YOURSELF,
WAITING FOR YOU,


TO LOOK FOR YOU BEHİ ND EVERY OPENİ NG DOOR,
TO RUN TO EVERY CALLING AT THE PHONE,
TO WORRY ABOUT YOU,
TO FIND YOU AT UNEXPECTED TIME,
TO FEEL THE BEST OF HAPPINESS.


AT THE MOST MELANCHOLIC TIMES,
TO FEEL YOUR SADNESS IN MY HEART,
TO ACCEPT YOUR JOY,
YOUR TROUBLE AS MUCH AS MINE,
TO EVERY RISING DAY,



STARTING WITH THE BEST WISHES,
TO HEAR YOUR VOICE SAYING 'GOOD MORNING'
TO LIVE THE JOY OF WAKING UP
IN THE MOST DELICIOUS SLEEPINGS
IN ORDER TO MAKE ME FEEL THESE



I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU BECAUSE
I NAMED YOU 'LOVE'
YOU'RE THE LOVE YOURSELF...
WHEN MY PHONE RINGS PERIOUSLY,
I SAY; SHE'S CALLING.


ALTHOUGHT I TRY TO CONTROL THE TONE OF MY VOICE,
STILL I'M UNSUCCESFUL ON TREMBLING OF MY VOICE
WHEN YOU WATCH ME NEVER ABLE
TO STOP THE STORMS
IN THE BOTTOM OF MY HAIR



LOOKING AT YOUR EYES
BECOME LOST IN THE SEAS DEEPLY
AND NEVER COME OUT OF
IF YOUR SKIN HEATS MY HANDS AS FIERY RED
IF MY HEART IS HOISTED



DO YOU ACHIEVE THIS?
OR ARE YOU LOVE?
IN ORDER TO MAKE ME HAVE THESE FEELINGS
AND COME INTO MY LIFE
BECAUSE I REGARD LOVE


I NAMED YOU 'LOVE'
YOU HAVE TO BE 'LOVE'
I LOVE YOU...
