Shore of Amour 

I am floating in the river of love and fancy

Finding myself optimistic in finding a shore.

It will provide me haven of beauty,

For which lies a yearning in my core.

To build a little hut I will arrange things,

When you will be appearing, I will sing.

Oh my beloved darling! You mean to me,

The rare coral gems of the Mediterranean.

You are the celestial gift bestowed by  Thee,

Which have the smell of perfumes like Arabian.

Enjoy the sunny day and feel the breeze,

With some love song let me make you please.

Are you oscillating between the fear of survival -

Of name and desire to perpetuate it on shore ?

Let me make it eternal and perceptible,

By inscribing on my heart the name of you.

No waves will be able to create any effect,

Everyone will behold it who will penetrate.

The sky is bright and romantic is the view,

The wind is fragrant with the smell of hairs.

The scene is saturated with your face's hue.

The quietude of this sight stares 

At the moment when you put on your face,

That smile which express your coyness
