Why do I apostrophize to you at night?



Why do I apostrophize to you at night?
By: Tharwat  Slim / Egypt

///
Why do I apostrophize to you at night?
Because you are :
 charm, poetry and wine
melted honey,  grass and water
cool, hot and rose ..  
Because you are :
 A state of weather in the bosom of the sky
Because you are :
 A female who has come from the sea
And in the wave was  
Letters of the alphabet...
Because you are:
 A fairy when you listen to my heart,
And come near my soul
And hear my whisper
And enter into my lap
For winter to be jealous ..
Because you are not like all women
You are an uprising of love
 in my heart
And you are an extension of love in my road
You are modesty and pride
Because if you sleep, your eyes will fall asleep
But your heart remains honest,
Beating  with reclusion  like ascetics
My heart murmurs and my heart mutters  
Reading the verse of  (Taha)
My soul calms down  
My wounds cool down  
And I hear in love the spirit of the prayer
Because you are not like all women ..
From your lips scent is jealous  
And on your hands  silk sleeps
If the honey  is asked: "who is sweeter ?"
It will answer:"  You start, you are an end,
 you are craving
and you are the selection ."

*
Why do I apostrophize to you at sunrise,
at sunset and at noon?
Because your smile is the day's sun
And the orbiting star
And the tune of the meeting ..   
Because your affection is the Canary whisper,
the voice of my waiting,
And the sense of beauty ..
Because you are a fairy from light
*
Why do I apostrophize to you every day?
And your invocation from me has this glory?
And I write in love what my heart desires
And whatever you want and what he does not want ..
I sometimes interpret your love with fire,
 with snow another time and with patience in the moments of misery
At the end of the night, I come near your eyes
A child who is chanting among the doves:
The anthem of peace and the tune of love
Just before dinner
*
Why I love you, despite the farewell
despite the distances between the countries?
I see you the nearest to the pulse of my heart
Because you are the legend of sincerity   
Why do I love you, despite the enviers and the troublemakers?
Despite the lovers and the haters
Despite those who say something
And another one   in secret
Because I love you..
..
Because love forgives all sins
And carries to the heart all goodwill
Though if there are some tribulations in love  
Because I love you ..
  For doubt in Love is the eye of certainty
And some pearls in the sea are chanting  
in sad voice
I wipe tears away from your tender cheeks
And I cross with love the Cape of Hope
Why do I apostrophize to you at night?
Because I chant at night a tune
And wipe from your cheeks tears
And water the cheeks with the water of roses
And with Myrtus, jasmine
 and chestnut  
*
Why do apostrophize to you at night?
Because the evening is a close honest friend
If I say something, it does not reproach me
Or blame..
..
So your love was and still above the stars
Above the clouds and
 over storms at the meeting
I have come and the affection has flooded from me
And the heart said in my voice:  
I have come to apostrophize to you this evening.
