People often say that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.
When I Saw Your Eyes
When you came to your door tonight,
And your beautiful eyes gazed at me
From the darkness within,
The world around me came to a stop,
For just a few seconds,
As I saw the love from within you.
You looked at me with your warm smile,
Your black hair around your face,
And whispered softly, “hi baby”,
And once again,
I was at your mercy.
For when you look into my soul
And I hear the sound of your sweet voice,
My heart opens to you my love,
With all of my dreams now fulfilled.
I never knew that a love like this
Could ever exist,
A love that consumes me,
A love so powerful,
And so overwhelming,
That I fear if I were without it,
My heart would no longer have a meaning
To its existence,
For the love that flows through it now,
Is what keeps me alive,
Keeps me whole.
As I gaze into your eyes my love,
Down into the depths of your very being,
I can see the love you feel for me,
A love as strong as my own,
A love that fills me so full of emotion,
So full of hope for the future,
That I pray I will spend the rest of my days,
Gazing into your eyes.

SÖYLEŞİ
Siz aydınlık, kızıl bir güz göğüsünüz,
Benimse içimde hüzün dalga dalgadır.
Ve üzgün dudaklarımın üstünden deniz
Çekilirken buruk anılar bırakır.-Cansız göğsümde elin boşa dolanıyor;
Yaralı… ve sızlıyor dokunduğun o yer,
Kadınlar pençeleyip dişledi, kanıyor,
Arama, hayvanlar yüreğimi yedi.Davul gibi gümleyen bir saray bu yürek,
Ayyaşların, canilerin hora teptiği!
-Tadıyor çıplak boynunu koku, yüzerek!..Ey güzellik, ruhların çakıllı düveni!
Diyorsun, bu kanlı yürek yok olup bitsin,
Kalanı alev gözlerin yakıp kül etsin!Charles BAUDELAIRE
Love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.
A Twilight Occultation
Image Credit & Copyright: Doug Zubenel (TWAN)Explanation: A thin, one day old crescent Moon hugged the western horizon after sunset on Monday, December 6. The Moon also occulted or passed in front of Mars. But only some well-placed skygazers along a band through North America were able to catch this lunar occultation’s final act in fading twilight. For example, this telephoto image nicely captures Mars as a pinprick of light, shortly after it emerged from behind the crescent Moon’s sunlit edge. With a tangle of tree limbs in silhouette, the luminous skyview is from De Soto, Kansas in the central US. Of course, this month’s upcoming total lunar eclipse will entertain a much wider audience of Moon enthusiasts during the night of December 20/21.
