Rural Poems is one of Charbel Baini's books translated from Arabic into English

Your Eyes


All things pull me backward,

Except for your eyes, 

Which overflow with countless energies.

From their sun, I draw my light,

And before their mirror, I refine myself,

On their shore, I wash away my curiosity

My selfishness,

And upon their waves,

I sway like a small child

Who gives no thought to tomorrow.

Look at me...

Whenever you feel my weakness.
