Sweet Encounter
Come today and have a sweet encounter With this traveler who believes in you As my lone soul has become a hunter And my illusions in a cold night flew.
In your mind, I found a secret beauty Through which I guessed the measures of your heart To become its wit is now my duty And to bring you new scents I use my art.
With many sunsets written on my eyes And passion's fever growing in the dusk I believe that Nature never belies 11 If dressed with petals we look for its musk.
This is why you can have my persuasion 13 That follows your kind insinuation. ***
11-. belies= proves mistaken. 13-. persuation= that in which we believe.

The third quatrain uses vivid imagery of sunsets and dusk to convey the passage of time and the growth of passion. The speaker asserts their belief in the truth of nature, suggesting that if we approach it with appreciation and respect ("dressed with petals"), we can discover its essence ("musk").
The concluding couplet offers a resolution: the speaker is persuaded by the addressee's "kind insinuation," suggesting a mutual understanding and connection. The speaker is willing to follow the addressee's lead, indicating trust and affection.
