Love I'm thirst and you are water, I'm fire, you - sea, enchanted by your beauty my ardent heart is burning with desire. And you are heavenly goddess, your eyes (are) infused with love and flame and your soul (is) so pure and immortal, no one should ever be left alone.

Being poetry is not a reason for a text to become "meaning only".
That device is used when the text lacks discritics, is written in different characters from the original of the language or its structure is not perfect. Or even when the author of the request, himself decides that he does not need a perfect translation, but a loose one just to know about the meaning of what is written.
Well, that would be the ideal translation, however we know how difficult that may be. At the poll we verify if the meaning is correct and some members who are a bit more gifted on poetry may help. About rhyme, structured poetry demands it mostly and if possible, of course we can take some poetic licence and try to get the rhyme.
But don't worry, this is not a literary contest, we just do our best!
I'm quite sure that it was an agreement among admins poetry requests to go automatically "meaning only". No one can expect on site like this the paramount of translation that even few professionals do - poetry. Absurd!
