Oh Your Gaze, That Slicing Sabre Poem by Nezim Frakulla

Oh your gaze, that slicing sabre,
And your eyes, those of a hero,
This, my life's become a prison,

Your two locks are like two dragons,
All the others cower, fear you,
Like the autumn leaves they quiver,
Cringe before you, dauntless hero.

Meeting you made life eternal,
Separation's got me jealous,
Night and day I seek salvation,
Begging one more time to see you.

In your harshness I take pleasure,
In your glance, I find salvation,
Yearning for you's my affliction,
None else on earth do I long for.

Oh my love, Nezim's religion,
Perfect beauty, Nezim's logic,
You are Nezim's balm and healing,
Life without you is but heartache.
