Ghazal 4

O my lover! I'm the parched earth awaiting a union with you
O my lover! Take me in your arms and let our breasts meet each other  
Offer me the cup of love time and again
For you're my companion in this life and other world  
I won't shelter you in my eyes but in my heart
For you're my lover and the life-partner  
If I get separated from my lover even for a moment
My eyes shed tears equal to the waters of seven seas  
The beloved of Qutuba declares that with the blessing of the Prophet
I'll offer him cups of love again and again  

Notes

Offer me the cup of love time and again
For you're my companion in this life and other world

    I wonder if this has been translated from another language? It has that feel about it...I wonder at the nuances that might be conveyed in the author's native tongue.

    This certainly is an expression of deep love - tears equal to the waters of seven seas - that is a lot of tears. However I question it being in the "erotica" category.
