I remember the night
spent with my Turkish delight
Fireworks dispersed sparkling light
Craved for blazing sensations
Your amorous delights were my temptations.
You always act on me with your provocations
Of my appetite that is yearning for your kiss’ delight
king of my dreams and sweet sultan, ruler of my fragrant night
Cleo the Sweet, soaked syrup in her ambrosial dates' nectar
Is offering you dainty morsels of her savory pleasure,
A Lorelei in her delicious aromatic melodious wonder,
A temptress, arousing your senses, with arts to fall under,
A dulcet so exceptional winning hearts with her candor
rose water, a redolent, spicy and enticing love rite
only seeking the embrace of her Sultan and his might
But I always remember the jubilant night;
The night I spent with my Turkish delight.

GECELERDEN BİR GECE HATIRLIYORUM
SEVGİLİMLE GEÇİRDİĞİM
O GECEYİ
SONSUZ DUYGULARLA VE TATLI HEYECANLARLA İÇİM ERİYORKEN
VE DE HAVAİ FİŞEKLER LOŞ KARANLIKLARA EŞLİK EDİYORKEN
AŞKI FISILDAYAN DUYGULARINDIR BENDE SEVME ARZUSU
UYANDIRAN
SENİ ÖPEBİLMEK ARZUSUYLA VE DE O GÜDÜYLE
BENİ ETKİLİYORSUN DAİMA
HAKANIM,TATLI SULTANIM,ŞEKERPAREM
MİSLER KOKAN GECEMİN ÖLÜMSÜZ HÜKÜMDARI
MUHTEŞEM CLEO SUNDU AŞKIN ŞARABINI
O ENFES HURMA AROMASINDAKİ.
EŞSİZ MUTLULUKLARIN DOYUMSUZ ANLARINI SUNUYOR SANA
ONUN AROMATİK AHENKLİ HAVASINDA LORELEİ VAR
SANATTA ENDER BULUNAN
BAŞTAN ÇIKARICI DUYGULARI KÖRÜKLEYEN
HUZUR VEREN O GÖRKEMLİ MELODİDE
YÜREKLER FETHEDEN
GÜLSUYU KOKAN,TATLI,AŞK AYİNİNE DAVET EDEN
VE YALNIZCA SULTANINI VE KUDRETİNİ KUCAKLAMAYI DÜŞLEYEN
AMA BEN DAİMA COŞKULU VE SONSUZ SEVİNÇLİ O GECEYİ
HATIRLAYACAĞIM
MÜMKÜN MÜ UNUTMAK SEVGİLİMLE GEÇİRDİĞİM O GECEYİ
MÜMKÜN MÜ?
Author notes
And since Turkish delight is the theme here, it goes without saying that it should also be in the Language it speaks, THE TURKISH LANGUAGE.
I thank my friend Babby for all the effort he put with me here in this piece. Thank you Babby. And I also thank my friend Aytac Atlas for his translation. thank you dear Aytac. And most of All MY OLD FRIEND OMER BEY FOR THE GREAT INPUT AND FINAL TOUCHES HE PUT THERE ON THE TURKISH VERSION TO FIT LITERARY STANDARDS. THANK YOU OMER BEY.

AND I LOVED THAT MAGIC NIGHT A LOVE THAT ONCE WAS AND STILL IS ON MY MIND
I feel though that i have to change background as it is not really ok. i had something more regal and mystic

Atilla just rolled over in his grave. SOB could never take a compliment. Without the sex, I hope this is how my girls might think of me someday. Working on it.

Oops
I meant to add more to that last comment, but accidentally pressed "submit".
As I was going to say, very well done. Tasteful and sweet. :] I really liked this.
Thanks so much for entering! -

My dear thank you
It was love and still is love. who said that the first love is the very first one? this is the first and always even though the rest is separation, but I know how he feels and how i feel. I can say I was really adored.

Very sweet. :]
This was a joy to read, lilting and full of alliteration and rhyme (very well done rhyme, might I add). It's chock full of adjectives, but I don't feel as if there were too many. . . I think they painted a sweet, amorous picture. -
This poem is a genuine delight, itself, as are all of your poems. I especially like the rhyme in the English version.

The sweet too sweet is this...

Well, mama, sometimes I don’t know what to write to express my exact feeling after reading your works. They are honestly written and sometimes I afraid I ruin them with my comments but when I read your replies, I feel tranquility. You’re so sweet and see everyone as sweet as yours. I love you as well, mom. *Hugs and kisses*

What a wonderful poem my dear friend, I can feel the eastern blood running through your words..and you just did an amazing job with sharing with us this beauty..I am glad you did the translation in the turkish language as well..that was great idea..I see help from other eastern souls in this piece from your comment...must be something good in the waters of the nile

I get side tracked your consistantly beautiful pened poetry. I have to read them several times because I am so fascinated from a knowledge satndpoint that I miss the passion and depth that accompanies allof your writes. I love reading your poetry. Take care, Rhon
-
This was really a beautiful write. I loved how you didn't make it completely straightforward. You told about more how you felt than what literally happened...that's exactly the kind of thing that I was hoping for. Good luck!
-
passionate and sexy
My lovely friend Nermin - as always, I enjoyed your poem that spoke so eloquently of passion and lust skilfully fused in such a way as to arouse the senses rather than be too brazen with coarse imagery. camus x -
what else can i say that hasn't already been said?
this is beautiful. every word is powerful, and it expresses exactly what you want it to. i think you did a great job ...grabing that essence, that sweet turkish delight
Fantastic word choice, beautiful poem. And the turkish language used just gave it some more taste. loved it. -
It certainly seems a temptation. It seems they were tempting each other. It resulted in bliss. A good poem. I like happy poems, too.

This is delightful. I can picture everything because your voice was soft but powerful. My favorite line is "king of my dreams and sweet sultan"...I love how the word sultan is used there. Wonderful.

Darling Nena, (taking Ne from Nermin and na from Nazim) sis
Your pillows piled high
before orgies of food
plush against the sky
sets your hot mood.
Then with his mouth
storm clouds broke shouts
he kept traveling south
as tears burst out.
Sweeter than sweetest sweats
for as one ends
these fabulously fragrant eats
another you must begin.

wonderful
Hey how come somebody translated for you? I thought you could speak turkish fluently! I thought Turkish only looked like Arabic letters, I did not know they had English letters too! It looks really weird! (or did you just put the letters that do no exist in English?)
Well You already know I love this poem! So get it featured or use the "Shamelessly promoted" board.
Keep on writing, Nermina.

Aww sweet as a turkish delight indeed! I remember reading when you sent this earlier, it was fab!!! I absolute am in awe over the wording thats been used here and there, giving a covering of complexity, yet so fun and simple to read
Mind you, I cant read turkish, but i believe its even better hah.
Oh well sorry for being away much, I really dont find much to write... Lost my inspiration
Cheers,
Khalid -
