Remember Netra Karamel? This is the English translated version! I decided to write a translated one since there is a magazine opening submissions for poems in your mother language, along with attaching the translated piece. So here’s Caramel Eyes!

CARAMEL EYES

Your eyes allure me

Under the horizon, I freeze

Although warm dusk glazes our silhouettes like honey

 

I keep observing you from afar

Your caramel-scented eyes unwavered

Yet trapped as an anchor at the end of a desolate sea, it dies

 

A small twinkle undiscovered

While scratches of the days gone by mark your caramel-scented eyes

You might notice the difference in formatting, this is simply because it works better for the English version to get a sense of where the poem is going!
