My Darling

Andrei Ciolac

My darling and her hands of flowers
Put out my eyes because sometimes
She wants I cannot see the dawn,
She wants me blind, a little time.

That seems to me to be a night
Full of the whispers, full of sins
Committed in my empty orbits,
With her white nails of raw petals.

My darling and her body of leaves
Fill up my so confused instants
With all the useless dew of night
And ads some drops of chlorophyll.

That seems to me that the whole wood
Was growing foolishly in my eyes
And she, my darling is not guilty
Because I'm shining and I'm blind.

    Wow, what a beautiful and poetic expression of love! "My darling and her hands of flowers" is a great way to start the poem, and it only gets more enchanting from there. The imagery of the flowers and leaves is very evocative, and the contrast between blindness and sin is intriguing. Your use of language really transports the reader to a magical and mysterious world.

    If I may suggest an improvement, perhaps you could explore the emotions behind the speaker's blindness more deeply. Is it a physical or a metaphorical blindness? What does it mean to be blind in the context of this poem? Does the speaker see something more important than the physical world? By digging deeper into these questions, you could add even more depth and complexity to the poem.

    Overall, I really enjoyed reading this poem and would love to see more work from you in the future!
