My longing for you

My longing for you I miss you
My mind is on you, my heart is on you, my love
I long for a smiling face at dawn
I see you every day in my dreams
My eyes are on you, my heart is on you, my longing is on you
Shining like a mirror in the darkness.

Playing with pleasure around the fire
Wrapping around my neck like ivy.

I miss your beautiful eyes, which I call my love.

Flowing like a river from above
As each refreshing drop falls into my heart
As each phrase caresses my heart
I miss your tongue dripping with honey.

Every day I watch you from afar
I become a bee and wander from flower to flower.
I wait for your rose scent in the wind
I miss the rose that blooms on your cheeks.

KEMAL BERK Biography: I was born in 1955 in the Sungurlu district of Çorum province, Turkey. I attended primary, secondary, and high school in Sungurlu. I completed my university education at Ankara Gazi Education Institute. I began teaching in 1978 and retired in 2016. I am married with three children and four grandchildren. In addition to my professional life, I continued teaching Turkish folk dances, which began during my student years, and taught them to hundreds of students. We participated in festivals, opening ceremonies, and competitions, and won awards. I took special art courses, learning 3D painting techniques, and creating paintings. I took a course for the hearing impaired, learning how to communicate with people with hearing impairments. For two years, I attended special gastronomy courses and learned to prepare various meat dishes, vegetable dishes, desserts, pastries, and buns. Preparing and serving these dishes gives me peace of mind. I volunteer at AFAD, which provides aid in disasters such as fires, floods, earthquakes, and landslides.
