INFATUATED
A flower, like the sun in its radiance,
After much coquetry, has become infatuated.
My delicate heart confides my longing,
Unconcerned with obscure meanings.
Since love has invaded my heart, I have been,
In my imagination, blissful with passion.
Your compassionate heart commands my heart,
And I, O my commander, am submissive.
The agonies of the world leave behind,
Souls, unwilling victims of wounds.
When you bestow tenderness upon me,
Those wounds become soothed and healed.
