UZAKLARDASIN (sarki sozu )

UMUT SEVGININ GOZYASIDIR.
HASRET SEVENLERIN AGLAYISIDIR
UZAKLARDA OLSANDA
BILKI YUREGIM SANA ASIKTIR

HER GECE BEKLERIM ELLERINI
RUYAMDAKI SEVGI SOZLERINI
UZAKLARDA OLSANDA
BILKI UNUTAMAM GOZLERINI

ARAMIZDA DAGLAR YOLLAR VAR
HASRETIN BAGRIMI YAKAR YAR
HERGECENIN BIR SABAHI VAR
BAK SENIN ICIN YOLLARA DUSTUM YAR.


YOU ARE FARAWAY ( Lyrics )

Hope is the tears of love
Longing is the crying of those who love
Even if you are afar off
Know that my heart is in love with you

Every night I wait for your hands
For your words of love in my dreams
Even if you are afar off
Know that I can't forget your eyes

Mountainous roads lie between us
Longing for you eats me up
Every night is followed by a morning
Lok, my love, I am coming for you.

====================================
====================================

BENI HATIRLA

YALNIZLIGA GOMULDUGUN BIR AKSAMDA
GUNESIN GEC DOGDUGU SOGUK BIR SABAHTA
OZLEDIGINDE VE AGLADIGINDA
SICAK BIR ELE HASRET KALDIGINDA
BENI HATIRLA
HEP SENINLEYIM...

REMEMBER ME

On an evening when you are buried in loneliness
On a cold morning when the sun rises late
When you miss me
and when you cry
When you long for a warm touch
Remember me
I am always with you
====================================
====================================


KORKMA

Sessiz,sensiz ve derin bir geceydi,
Karanligimi aydınlatan ise sadece ay birkac yildiz ve senin hayalindi.
Ay gitti daha sonra, yildizlarda onun pesinden.
Ama etraf hala aydinlikti senin hayalin yüzünden.
Sonra gunes, ne kadar durdurmak istesemde yükseldi tüm heybetiyle karsimda.
Sadece korkma dedi bana...

DONT BE AFRAID

It was a quiet, deep and lonesome (without you) night,
And what lit my darkness was only the moon,a few stars and your image.
The moon left later, and the stars after it,
But the surroundings were still bright because of your image.
Then the sun, as much as I wanted to stop it, rose in front of me with all its grandeur,
Said to me just don't be afraid...



====================================
====================================

ZAMAN

Zaman!!!, hayatlarimizi calan, sanki o duruyor da biz icinden geciyoruz,
Bir bakiyoruzki , hayatimizin her saniyesini almis, icinde kaybetmis.
Zamana yenik dusenlerden olmayacagim,
Bu yuzden bana zamanla alisirsin deme sakin...

TIME

Time!!!, which steals our lives, as if it is stopping and we are going through in it,
and suddenly we realize, it has taken away all our seconds from our lives and finished them.
I am not going to be one of the persons who is defeated by the time.
So dont tell me that 'I will get used to it with the time'


====================================
====================================

KONUSAMIYORUM

Dogar mi gunes yeniden ,
isitir mi yalnizliktan soguyan su bedenimi,
Sorgular mi ki Ay beni geceleri?
Konusamiyorum diye...

I CANT SPEAK

Will the sun rise once more?
Will it warm this body of mine which is cold from loneliness
Does the moon ask after me in the night?
Saying I cannot speak....


====================================
====================================

NE OLACAK?

Ne olur ki sanki, uzak durmasan
Ne olur ki sanki, kalbine kilit vurmasan
Ne olur ki sanki, hislerini özgür bıraksan
Ne olur ki sanki, beni cöpe atmasan

Ne olur ki sanki, dur demesen
Ne olur ki sanki, git demesen
Ne olur ki sanki, bitti demesen
Ne olur ki sanki, senden nefret etmemi istemesen
NE OLACAK Ki SENCE ? MUTLULUKTAN BASKA?


WHAT WILL HAPPEN?

What do you think would happen if you don't keep your distance?
What do you think would happen if you don't keep your heart under tight lock and key
What do you think would happen if you allowed your feelings free rein
What do you think would happen if you don't cast me aside

What do you think would happen if you didn't say "stop"
What do you think would happen if you didn't say "go"
What do you think would happen if you didn't say "it's over"
What do you think would happen if you didn't want me to hate you
What do you think will be? Nothing but happiness?

====================================
====================================
KARA SABAHLAR

Kader mi bana bunu yapan?
yoksa ben mi yazdim bu kaderi bile bile sonunu?
Cok sey mi istedim Tanri'dan? Yoksa Tanri mi istedi ogrenmemi kirik bir kalp ile yasamayi?
Celiskiler icinde olmaktansa , yok olmayi istemek mi cozum, var olmak dururken.
Bilemiyorum iyi olan ne ? var olmak mi , yok olmak mi?
Bunlari neden yaziyorum ki , hersabah uyandigimda penceremdeki kapkara bulutlari mi siliyorum acaba isigi gorebilmek icin.
Dur!! kendinden neden nefret ediyorsun ki?
Once bir sebep bul nefret etmeye degecek.

DARK MORNINGS
Was it fate that made me do this?
Or did I write my own destiny knowingly?
Did I ask for too much from God? Or did God want me to learn how to live with a broken heart?
Is wanting not to exist the solution to living with contradictions, as opposed to continuing to exist.
I don't know what is the best? To be, or not to be?
Why do I write these, every morning when I wake up perhaps I wipe away the darkest clouds at my window in order to see the light.
Stop!! Why do you hate yourself?
First find a reason, then it will be worth hating.

====================================
====================================

BURUK ( sarki sozu )

Giderken biraktigin bu kalp
Carpmak istemiyor artik
Nefes almak sadece yasamak icin.
Her cekiste icime, cikmak istemiyor artik.


Saatler, günler, haftalar geciyor durmaksizin
Yoruldu bu beden , kosamiyor artik.
Neydi bu beni hayattan koparan?
Gelip baglasin beni yeniden artik.

Sözler yetmez, yetmez ki kelimeler
sadece alir goturur beni enginlere
maviliginde boguldugum o Okyanus Gözler...


ACRID ( lyrics )

This heart you left when you went away
Doesn't want to beat anymore
Breathing is only for staying alive
With every inhaling, it doesn't want to exit anymore.

Hours, days, weeks are passing continuously
This body is tired, can't run anymore.
What was the thing which tore me off this life?
May it come and tie me once again already.

promises are not enough, insufficient are the words
They only carry me away to wide open spaces
I'm drowned in the blue of those ocean eyes...

====================================
====================================

SITEM

Karsilasirmiyiz acaba bu dünyada?
Yada beklemelimiyim ölene kadar?
Umut mu etmeliyim gercekten bir hayat daha varsa?
Sanki gorecekmisim gibi seni diger tarafta

Haykırmak neyi cözer, tüm evrene duyurmak ?
sen duymadiktan sonra ?
Aglasa su kalp yıllarca
Neye yarayacak ki bana acımandan baska?



REPROACH

Will we meet, I wonder, in this world?
Or should I wait till I die?
Should I hope that there's really another life?
As if I'm going to see you on the other side

What does shouting solve, to make the whole universe hear?
When you don't hear?
If this heart cries for years
What is it good for, except you pity me?

====================================
====================================

UMUTSUZ

Artık hic birsey yazmak istemiyorum,
Ama istemesemde oluyor iste, yaziyor bu eller.
Kac bakalim benden
Göklerden hangi yıldızı begenirsen ona git.

Hic düsünmemistim,istenmemenin tonlarca agirli altinda
Kırılsa da onurum ve serefim yinede hala direneceğimi..

HOPELESS

From now on I don't want to write anything
But even so I can't help it, my hands just wanna write
Try to flee from me
Choose your favorite star in the sky, and go there

I hadn't thought about it, under the very heavy weight of not being wanted
Even if my honour is bruised I will still resist...

====================================
====================================

ASK NEYDi? (what was the love )

dokunmakmiydi? ask, yoksa dokunmadan sevebilmek mi?
sadece teninin yumusakligini ve sicakliginimi hissetmekti ask? , yoksa sana dokunabilme ümidimiydi ?..
seninle yasamakmiydi ask?, yoksa seni ozlemek mi bir ömür?.bakmadan görmekmiydi seni?, yoksa duymadan anlamakmi ?..konusmakmiydi ask? yoksa, konuşmadan hissedebilmekmi anlatacaklarini?.. Korkmakmiydi ask seni kaybetmekten, yoksa sonsuza kadar sevebilecegine inanmakmiydi? gülümsemekmiydi ask yüzünü her gördügimde ?, yoksa gülümsedigini bilmek mi beni her andiginda?. neydi ask? soruyorum neydi?
kavusmanin imkansiz oldugunu düsünerek kacmakmiydi herseyden? yoksa kavusabilme sansınımı umut etmekti?
acı cekmekmiydi ask? yoksa, birakip gittiginde ölmeyi istemekmiydi.. kacmakmıydı ask sevdiginden? yoksa tum kalbinle durabilmek mi önünde? sevismekmiydi ask? yoksa askmiydi sevismeyi arzulatan,
neydi bu lanet olasi his? kaptirmak miydi kendini bir kasirgaya?
yoksa elinden tutabilmekmiydi sevdigini en güclü firtinalarda... gitmekmiydi bilmedigin bir karanliga, yoksa aydinlatmakmi hayatini? sarhoslukmuydu ask icmeden? yoksa ask miydi seni sarhos eden bilmeden? kaybetmekmiydi ask seni? yoksa kaybetmekmi kendimi?
zamanmiydi aski yenen? yoksa, gittiginde ask miydizamani durduran. sevdigini tüketmekmiydi ask ozgurce? yoksa, saklamasini bilmekmiydi kalbinde bir omur... ölmekmiydi ask? yoksa sevdigin icin olumu goze almakmi?

ASK NEYDI? bir bilsem... askmıydı bana böyle sacmalatan, yoksa boyle sacmalamakmıydı ask,, yada senmiydin ....

askin ne oldugunu anlayamadim ama, ucurumun kenarindan itilmisiz birkere, habire düsüyoruz ask cukuruna, tek ümidim senin bir ucak icat edip, dibe cakilmadan gelip beni kurtarmandir......

What was love?

Was it touching, love? Or to be able to love without touching? Was love only to feel your skin's softness and warmth, or my hope to be able to touch you? Was love living with you, or a life of missing you? Was it to see you without looking, or understanding you without hearing? Was love talking, or being able to feel what you'll say without talking? Was love to fear of losing you, or to believe that you can love till eternity? Was love smiling each time I see your face, or knowing that you smile each time you remember me? What was love? Was it escaping from everything, thinking that reunion is impossible, or hoping for a reunion chance?

Was love feeling pain? Or was it the desire to leave everything and once having left to die.. Was love to flee from the one you love? Or to be able to stand in front of the with your whole heart? Or was it love that created in you the desire to make love, what is this accursed feeling? Was it getting yourself caught up in the eye of a storm?
Or to be able to hold the one you love in your hands, despite the most powerful storm... Was it to go unto the unknown darkness, or to pour light on life? Was it drunkeness without tasting love, or was it love that made you drunk for no reason? Was it love for you that was losing? or wa sit losing me for love?
Was it time that overcame love? Or was it love that made time stand still when you went. Did love freely consume the one loved? Or, was it a lifetime in the heart to know how to hide it. Was love to die? Or to be prepared to die for the one you love?

WHAT IS LOVE? If only I knew... is it love than makes me say such silly things, or was it so silly to love,, or was it you ....

I cannot understand what love is but, we have been pushed over the edge of a cliff just this once, we are falling into the pit of love, my one and only hope is that you devise a plane and come and save me before I crash on the bottom......

====================================
====================================

WHEN I THINK OF YOU ( lyrics )

when i think of you, you make me smile
when i think of you, you make me fine
you cant know how i miss you
i just try to play without you

i want to be there with you
i want to hold your hands
and i want to say to you
how much i love you.

when i look at the stars in the sky
i can see your shining eyes
when i look at the sun
i can feel your warmth


MY OCEAN EYES ( lyrics )

My ocean eyes
my heart is flowing to you
feel me darling
be my life,

My ocean eyes
this is just a dream
hold me darling
make that real

My ocean eyes
i wanna lost with you
touch me darling
be my wife

My ocean eyes
thinking of you alltime
feeling you every second
just i want one thing
love me until i die...

====================================

HATIRALAR

hatiralar iz birakir,

MEMORIES

Memories leave traces
you can't erase like you erase tears

KEEP QUIET PLEASE (lyrics)

You're in my dreams now
In my all wet eyes
You're in my dreams now
In my smashed to pieces heart

You're far away now
Wearily I'm walking
You're far away now
From time to time I'm running

Keep quiet, keep quite please
Let me keep my tomorrows
Keep quiet, keep quite please
Let me keep my hopes

You're in my guitar now
Note by note I'm playing
You're in my guitar now
Gradually I'm walking around

You belong to someone else now
You're missing my love
You belong to someone else now
You're crying because of my absence

Keep quiet, keep quite please
Let me keep my tomorrows
Keep quiet, keep quite please
Let me keep my hopes


====================================
====================================

BEKLIYORUM (Sarki sozu)

UFUKLARA DALMISIM YINE HAYALINLE
ELIMDE SON MEKTUBUN VAR
GOZLERIMDE YASLARLA
YURUYORUM SEVGILIM BOS KUMSALLARDA

CUZDANIMDA ESKI BIR RESMIN
KULAKLARIMDA HALA SESIN
YUREGIMDE ACILARLA
BEKLIYORUM SEVGILIM BOS KUMSALLARDA

I'm Waiting

I've been lost in thoughts in horizons again with your image
I have your last letter in my hand
With tears in my eyes
I'm walking my love on empty shores

An old photo of yours in my wallet
Your voice is still in my ears
With pains in my heart
I'm waiting my love at empty shores

====================================
====================================

YAGMURDAN SONRA

BULUTLARIN ARASINDAN GORUNEN SU MAVILIK
GOZLERIN OLSA GEREK, DERIN VE ENGIN.
BANA YASAMAYI HATIRLATAN BIR RUYA
BANA OLMEYI HATIRLATAN BIR SENSİZLİK

SU KARSIMDA DURAN GOKKUSAGI
SENIN HAYALIN OLSA GEREK, YAKINLASTIKCA UZAKLASAN.
BANA GUZELLIGINI HATIRLATAN BIR MUCIZE
BANA ACIZLIGIMI HATIRLATAN BIR HASRET

After The Rain

This blueness that is seen among the clouds
Must be your eyes, deep and boundless
A dream that reminds me to live
A loneliness that reminds me to die

This rainbow that appears in front of me
Must be your image, the more I get close becomes more distant
A miracle that reminds me of your beauty
A longing that reminds me my helplessness

My book was published before Xmas,finally))I had been waiting for it so long.Anyway,something to share...
one of my poems
An Addiction

Injecting into vains another dose
of your feelings
I'm getting addicted to you
me-an addict of love
with trembling hands
begging for syringe
of poison flowing from your mouth
getting deep in an abyss of your breath
cheating my hunger with misery
I cause myself-me a doer...
with a spasmatic CRY FOR FREEDOM..

OK Kafesteki kus don't be so sorry. Here is a quick adaptation of your poem into Turkish:

Alisiyorum sana
hani insan alisir ya esrara
titreyerek eli uzanır o zehire,
işte ben öyle muhtacim senin nefesine
muhtacım soluğunda eriyip gitmeye
yokluğunda avutup arzularımı
kapandım bak kendi içime

şimdi artık tek derdim, umarım
hürriyet, hürriyet! diye haykırmak

LIFE
I remember
your locking me
in a cage
of your ideas for life
I struggled
slaved
strangled
unable to self-breath
me not me
created,unreal
freedom did not have the smell of coffee
or smile
for good morning and goodbye
I wish you understood
you couldn't

Angels

Angels come to Earth
to have a rest
from requests of impatient people
leaving their wings
at railway stations's waiting rooms
with no fear of having them stolen
People are too busy with themselves
career,making fuss,planning
talking about nothing
to notice
how boring
becomes heaven
without ANGELS

hope Vineyards will translate them...
Porto...))))if you read them remember..words are shots,moments of life...nothing to feel sad about...just overhearing or peeping life...like directing the movie...and it is not important what author wanted to say...important is how readers feel it...

You.....
Pieces of soul
wounded by ideals of love
are lying about
on the pavement of feelings
you pass them
indifferent
wiggling in fingers
like a talisman
your EGO

thanx Porto,next time i will translate erotic for you...))))

One more...in original they all sound better...
Thank you for reading them))


The strangest thing


The strangest thing
I have ever stolen?
- a heart
I did it for the pure satisfaction
Of possesing something
Which does not belong to me
A child spoilt by the world
Was woken in me
I couldn’t resist
Having it
Mine,only mine....
Seduced by its weeping
Loneliness
I stole it
Just for granted
Within a span of a day,
an hour,
Minute,
second
Neither its ice warmed me up
Nor its heat hold me tight
For longer
The paths of my thoughts
Were only mistaken
By its words
I don’t regret stealing it
The child spoilt by the world
Was woken in me
I couldn’t resist
Having it......

Gecenlerde bir ruya gordum
Kemiklerimi sızlatan bir soguk dısarda,
Saçlarından olusan sarmasıklar sarmıstı evimi
Pencerenin camindan sizan gülümsemen
ısıtmak istiyordu soguyan bedenimi.

kalp atıslarım yavaslamıs, yorgun
araladıgım goz kapaklarımın arasindan
gorebiliyordum masmavi gozlerini
bana uyan artik dercesine ısıldayan
ama cok gec ben istesem de yapamam
bedenimdir uyanmak istemeyen bu ruyadan.

my new one i hope ayla or marion will translate it

I had a dream recently
It was so could outside, that I was chilled to the bone
My house was entwined with strands ivy that had been formed from your hair
Your smile which seeped through my window-panes
Wanted to warm my chilled body

My heartbeat had slowed, and between
my tired eyelids
I could see your bright blue eyes
shining; they seemed to say to me "wake up, now"
But it is too late, even if I want to I cannot
It is my body that does not want to wake up from this dream

Life beautiful is with your breath
with wisdom of your eyes...
Life beautiful is with your dreams,

desires....
Life beautiful is with touch of your hands
your smile
loneliness....
Life beautiful is with You
that’s why

my new poems

1
Bilseydim sensiz nefes almanin bu kadar zor olacagini
Severmiydim seni ?
Bilseydim gözlerin olmadan gokyuzunun bu kadar karanlik olacagini
Yüzermiydim maviliginde?
Bilseydim gülümsemen olmayinca gülmeyi unutacagimi
istermiydim sicakligini?
Bilseydim ellerini hic tutamayacagimi
ümit edermiydim ?
Bilseydim asla benim olmayacagini
Senin olurmuydum?
artik yapacak bisey yok
kalbimin sesini yazmaktan baska..

2
Kücük bir örümcek yapti herseyi
Tüm sorumlu o
Once yavasca örmeye basladi
Ask denen aglarini
Tüm dokularima sinecek kadar ördü ördü..
Oyle sıkı ördü ki, kalbim atamaz, kanim akamaz oldu
Ismini yazdi ruhuma ve tutsak hale geldim
Cok güzeldi aslinda...
Kalinca yapayalniz sensiz
Yemi oldum bu kücük örümcegin
Ask aglarinin ortasinda...

i hope marion and ayla will translate them thnks

MY another new one

Bir güvercin gördüm bu sabah
Bosluga acilan penceremden,
Sınırsız bir ozgurlugun tadını cıkarırcasına
Taklalar atıyordu durmadan,
Yükseldi yükseldi yükseldi ,
Bırakıverdi kendini bosluga
Hayatla dalga gecercesine düsüyordu
Yere cakılmadan toparlanıp tekrar yüksege cıkıyordu
Sayamadım kac defa yaptıgını, ama saydıgım bir sey var
Ben sadece bir kere düstüm bosluga
Hala toparlanıp tekrar yükseklere çıkmaya calıssamda
Olmuyor, olmayacak
Nerde kaldı su sevgi dolu yüregin?
Beni yeniden ucuracak...

waiting for translation where are you Marion and Ayla

If I had known that it would be so hard to breathe
Would I have loved you?
If I had known that the sky would be so dark without your eyes
Would I have swum in their blueness?
If I had known that I would forget how to smile without your smile
Would I have wanted your warmth?
If I had know that I would not be able to hold your hand
Would I have hoped?
If I had known that you would never be mine
Would I have become yours?
Now, there is nothing left to do
Except to write the cries of my heart...

Who is a Poet
by Tadeusz Rozewicz
translated from Polish by Magnus Krynski and Robert Maguire
a poet is one who writes verses
and one who does not write verses
a poet is one who throws off letters
and one who puts letters on himself

a poet is one who believes
and one who cannot bring himself to believe

a poet is one who has told lies
and one who has been told lies

one who has been inclined to fall
and one who raises himself

a poet is one who tries to leave
and one who cannot leave

new 2 for today
1
Seher vaktinde, kus civiltilarinin birbirine karistigi
Bir koy sabahinin mutlulugudur simdi senin yanin.
Bakislarin yapraklarin arasindan sizan gunesi kiskandirir
Saclarinin pariltisi ise geceyi...
Sesin bülbül sesi, gozlerin okyanus mavisi
Varlıgın barinaktir oksuz kuslara
Yoklugun ise bana ölüm
Sitemin ayazdir , kurutur tüm cicekleri
Gozyasin nisan yagmurudur can verir dogaya
Uzüntün sonbahar rüzgaridir , doker tüm yapraklari
Bir Tebessümün yeter bana toplarim dokulen bütün yapraklari.

2
Issiz uzak bir adada, soguk duvarlar arasinda saklidir duygularim
Askin mahsenidir benim yüregim,
Gelisigüzel caglayan akarsularin ahengidir sevgi
Bir kaya parcasinin agirliginda gizlidir benligim
Karnı ac, ama gozu tok asil bir Aslandir herzaman

Sevgi Yagmur yüklü buluttur, ne yerini , nede zamanini kacirir
Yasli bir cinar govdesi gibidir, yıllarin acisi bellidir yüzümde
Sesin sahin cıglıgıdır, ürkütücüdür kimi zaman
Bazen bir melodi gibidir kulaklarimda nagme nagme.

Karlı Daglar altinda, ayaza direnen
Baharla yeseren, günesle opusendir sevgi,
Sevmek ise dikenli yollarda yalın ayak yürümektir cilginca.
Sevmese de seni ey yürek, senin onu bir omur sevmendir.

Bazen kötü kabuslardan uyanmaktir aniden
büyülü hayallere kapilmaktir, cocukca sevinmektir
Anlamaya calismaktir, anlamsizligin anlamini.
Anlamını yitirmis cumleler kurmaktir belkide..

Beklemesini bilmektir neyi bekledigini bilmeden
Bildigin herseyi unutmaktir yaninda
Ve Hatirlamaktir ondan uzakta oldugunda unuttugun herseyi
Ve onu karsiliksiz sevmektir, o bilmese de sevginin ne oldugunu...

I did not read all of them but I can see, they are full of emotion and a criticism: they are self centered a bit.
If you dont mind I would like to add a can yucel poem:

BAĞLANMAYACAKSIN…..
Bağlanmayacaksın bir şeye, öyle körü körüne.
"O olmazsa yaşayamam." demeyeceksin.
Demeyeceksin işte.
Yaşarsın çünkü.
Öyle beylik laflar etmeye gerek yok ki.
Çok sevmeyeceksin mesela. O daha az severse kırılırsın.
Ve zaten genellikle o daha az sever seni, senin o’nu sevdiğinden.
Çok sevmezsen, çok acımazsın.
Çok sahiplenmeyince, çok ait de olmazsın hem.
Çalıştığın binayı, masanı, telefonunu, kartvizitini…
Hatta elini ayağını bile çok sahiplenmeyeceksin.
Senin değillermiş gibi davranacaksın.
Hem hiçbir şeyin olmazsa, kaybetmekten de korkmazsın.
Onlarsız da yaşayabilirmişsin gibi davranacaksın.
Çok eşyan olmayacak mesela evinde.
Paldır küldür yürüyebileceksin.
İlle de bir şeyleri sahipleneceksen,
Çatıların gökyüzüyle birleştiği yerleri sahipleneceksin.
Gökyüzünü sahipleneceksin,
Güneşi, ayı, yıldızları…
Mesela kuzey yıldızı, senin yıldızın olacak.
"O benim." diyeceksin.
Mutlaka sana ait olmasını istiyorsan bir şeylerin…
Mesela gökkuşağı senin olacak.
İlle de bir şeye ait olacaksan, renklere ait olacaksın.
Mesela turuncuya, yada pembeye.
Ya da cennete ait olacaksın.
Çok sahiplenmeden,
Çok ait olmadan yaşayacaksın.
Hem her an avuçlarından kayıp gidecekmiş gibi,
Hem de hep senin kalacakmış gibi hayat.
İlişik yaşayacaksın.
Ucundan tutarak…

new one for today

Bir okyanus mavisi serinligine uzanmis
ipeksi saclarini oksuyor simdi ellerim
Bugulu camlara resmini cizip
ismini verdigim beyaz guvercinler ucuruyorum gokyuzune
onlar kadar ozgur onlar kadar erisilmez olsun diye
Kimselere degil! Sevdigim yalniz bana kanat cirpsin diye
Simdi uzaklardasin biliyorum, erisemeyecegim kadar uzak
Olsun! icinde hep sen olan düsler goruyorum ellerin ellerimde..

Gel artik , kaldir aradan bu hasreti
Gercek olsun artık bu düslerim
Biraktigin o yerde bekliyorum seni..

Cok güzeldi aslinda...

A little spider has done everything

It is the only responsible one

At first it began to weave slowly

Its webs called love

Wove and wove till it penetrated all my tissues

It wove so tight that my heart became not able to beat, my blood not able to flow

It wrote your name into my soul and turned me into a prisoner

It was very beautiful really

When I was left all alone without you

I've become the bait of that small spider

In the middle of love's webs...

I saw a pigeon this morning
From my window, that is opened to emptiness
Like making the most of an unlimited freedom
It was jumping for joy continuously
It ascended, ascended, ascended
Let itself to emptiness
It was falling like kidding life
Without being nailed down it was pulling itself together and rising again
I couldn't count how many times it did it, but there's one thing I counted
I've fallen to emptiness only once
Even if I try to pull myself together and climb up to the hights
It's not succeeding, it won't be able to
Where's your full of love heart?
Which will make me fly again...

Ayla translated this thnk you so much again Ayla..

Dalga geçiyorum seninle
Hala farkedemediysen herşeyi
Devam et sevmeye, devam etki farket
Seni nasılda yendigimi.
Milyonlarca kölemden sadece birisisin
Karsılık beklemeden sevmeye devam eden
Benim işim de bu işte , kurban da sensin
Önce mutlu eder sonra da üzerim.

a gift
Bolesław Leśmian, a great Polish poet(1878-1937)

…

Were I to meet you again for the first time,
But in a different orchard, in a different wood—
Perhaps for us the trees would sigh differently,
Extended into infinity under a misty hood...

Perhaps among the furrowed green you'd reach your hands
For other flowers, trembling as they were birds—
Perhaps from your undiscerning, unknowing lips
Would fall some other words—some other words...

Perhaps into a cascade of flaming roses
The sun would force our souls to burst for good,
Were I to meet you again for the first time,
But in a different orchard, in a different wood...”

and one more
Memories

Those paths I brushed
With the feet of a child - where have they gone ?
They roll down as tears do, hushed,
Out of the eyes, down, down.

The freshness of morning would wake me up.
The sun would be painting a masterpiece.
A golden coast - a golden pup,
A golden guitar - a golden precipice.

Stare. Stare sufficiently into the light
From the midst of a great silence, and in a while
You are bound to see a camel shining bright,
A bright-eyed robber with a glistening smile.

At breakfast the table became a desert. I stared
Till I rode the camel and I saw the gleaming thief.
Father, assured of his safety, never despaired
But read his paper calmly, rustling a leaf.

A triple rainbow embroidered the carafe,
The tablecloth, the cupboard, father's moustache.
A wasp, entangled in the lace curtains, would laugh
And the curtains laughed too, their threads in the sun, a bright patch.

And the rich floor, dreamily glittering, mirrored it all
The leaves of the palm shone brighter at the back
But melted shallowly, and a thin glaze would fall
As if someone had spilled greenery by mistake.

The arm-chair sipping its own velvet peace
Would grow heavier, comfortably, I think.
The sugar would plot for a blue spark's release
And the loaf of bread would turn pink.

The clock shakes free of its long compressed coils and booms
A prolonged note through the hall to the sky.
In that furnished day-dreaming among the sunny rooms
Everybody endures and does not die.

But something happened: something went wrong.
The same clock struck, but shyly, in another town.
The soul stumbled over the body that had grown too strong,
And they began to die, one by one.

Translated by Jerzy Peterkiewicz and Burns Singer
and another one
In the Dark

The lip is the lip's friend, the hand the hand's
Lying next each other each one understands
To whom he belongs - each one of the buried dead.
Unwillingly the night goes overhead;
The earth asserts itself, but hesitantly ;
And leaflessly the leaves move on a tree.
God stirs the wind and space: but He is high
Above the forest's distant forest sigh.
The wind says this to space:
"I'll not be back
Across this forest while the night shines black."
Still darkness thickens, pierced by small starlight.
The seagulls flying over the sea are white.
One says : "I've heard the fate of stars foretold."
The next: "I've watched the heavens themselves unfold."
The third is silent, but because it knew
Two bodies, glowing in the darkness, who
Wove darkness into their embrace: it found
Them made of the caress in which they wound.

Translated by Jerzy Peterkiewicz and Burns Singer

Funeral Blues

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

W.H. Auden

When you are old - William Butler Yeats

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

Bir okyanus mavisi serinligine uzanmis
ipeksi saclarini oksuyor simdi ellerim
Bugulu camlara resmini cizip
ismini verdigim beyaz guvercinler ucuruyorum gokyuzune
onlar kadar ozgur onlar kadar erisilmez olsun diye
Kimselere degil! Sevdigim yalniz bana kanat cirpsin diye
Simdi uzaklardasin biliyorum, erisemeyecegim kadar uzak
Olsun! icinde hep sen olan düsler goruyorum ellerin ellerimde..

Gel artik , kaldir aradan bu hasreti
Gercek olsun artık bu düslerim
Biraktigin o yerde bekliyorum seni..

--------------------------------------

Bu sabah yagmur var
İnce ince yagıyor
Sular birikiyor kücük cukurlara
Sanki gokler degilde kalbim aglıyor,
Sen yagmur , bense kücük bir cukur.
Gözyaşları degil bu yagan
Sadece yagmur , boslukları dolduran...

Hey Cenk, sana bi cift lafım var,

Devam et sevmeye, devam etki farket

muses were busy these days...

Love Song

How can I keep my soul in me, so that
it doesn't touch your soul? How can I raise
it high enough, past you, to other things?
I would like to shelter it, among remote
lost objects, in some dark and silent place
that doesn't resonate when your depths resound.
Yet everything that touches us, me and you,
takes us together like a violin's bow,
which draws one voice out of two separate strings.
Upon what instrument are we two spanned?
And what musician holds us in his hand?
Oh sweetest song.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Road not taken
Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I
-I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Sararmış ormanda ayrıldı ikiye yol
Ãœzgünüm, ikisinde birden gidemediğim için
O yolların tek yolcusu olmayı isterdim.
İlkine baktım, uzun uzun durup
Bakabildiğim kadar baktım
Uzaklıklara, çalıların dibine kadar
Sonra öbürüne baktım, hakçasına
Onda gitmeye daha çok hakkım olurdu belki
Çimenli olduğundan, ezilmeye ihtiyacı olduğu için
Ama, o iki yoldan da gideydim, aynı olurlardı
İkisini de ezip çiğnediğim için..
O sabah aynıydı ikisi de
Çiğnenip karalaşmamış yapraklar vardı üstlerinde
İlkini sakladım ertesi güne
Yolların yeni yolları çektiğini bilerek
O ayrıma bir daha dönmeyeceğimi de düşÃ¼nerek
İç geçirerek, ahlayarak söylüyorum bunu
Yıllar, asırlar sonrası için..
Ormanda ayrıldı iki yol
Ve ben en az gidilmişinden gittim
Her şeyi de o değiştirdi zaten...
Great piece,isn't it?

Piraye İçin Yazılmış Saat 21 Şiirleri - 8 Kasım 1945

Uzaktaki şehrimin damları üzerinden
ve Marmara denizinin dibinden geçip
sonbahar topraklarını aşarak
olgun ve ıslak
geldi sesin.
Bu, üç dakikalık bir zamandı.
Sonra, telefon simsiyah kapandı...

The More Loving One- W. H. Auden

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

Time for some limericks)))I just love them)))I mean limericks in general...
Ogden Nash
A flea and a fly in a flue
Were imprisoned, so what could they do?
Said the fly, "let us flee!"
"Let us fly!" said the flea.
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

There once was a lady from Hyde,
Who ate a green apple and died,
While her lover lamented,
The apple fermented,
and made cider inside her inside.

There was a young lady from Niger,
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger.
After the ride
She was inside,
And the smile was on the face of the tiger.

Shelley...
TO A SKYLARK

by: Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

AIL to thee, blithe Spirit!
Bird thou never wert,
That from Heaven, or near it,
Pourest thy full heart
In profuse strains of unpremeditated art.

Higher still and higher
From the earth thou springest
Like a cloud of fire;
The blue deep thou wingest,
And singing still dost soar, and soaring ever singest.

In the golden lightning
Of the sunken sun,
O'er which clouds are bright'ning,
Thou dost float and run;
Like an unbodied joy whose race is just begun.

The pale purple even
Melts around thy flight;
Like a star of Heaven,
In the broad daylight
Thou art unseen, but yet I hear thy shrill delight,

Keen as are the arrows
Of that silver sphere
Whose intense lamp narrows
In the white dawn clear
Until we hardly see -- we feel, that it is there.

All the earth and air
With thy voice is loud,
As, when night is bare,
From one lonely cloud
The moon rains out her beams, and Heaven is overflowed.

What thou art we know not;
What is most like thee?
From rainbow clouds there flow not
Drops so bright to see
As from thy presence showers a rain of melody.

Like a poet hidden
In the light of thought,
Singing hymns unbidden,
Till the world is wrought
To sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not:

Like a high-born maiden
In a palace tower,
Soothing her love-laden
Soul in secret hour
With music sweet as love, which overflows her bower:

Like a glow-worm golden
In a dell of dew,
Scattering unbeholden
Its aërial hue
Among the flowers and grass, which screen it from the view:

Like a rose embowered
In its own green leaves,
By warm winds deflowered,
Till the scent it gives
Makes faint with too much sweet these heavy-wingèd thieves.

Sound of vernal showers
On the twinkling grass,
Rain-awakened flowers,
All that ever was,
Joyous, and clear, and fresh, thy music doth surpass:

Teach us, Sprite or Bird,
What sweet thoughts are thine:
I have never heard
Praise of love or wine
That panted forth a flood of rapture so divine.

Chorus Hymeneal,
Or triumphal chant,
Matched with thine would be all
But an empty vaunt,
A thing wherein we feel there is some hidden want.

What objects are the fountains
Of thy happy strain?
What fields, or waves, or mountains?
What shapes of sky or plain?
What love of thine own kind? what ignorance of pain?

With thy clear keen joyance,
Languor cannot be:
Shadow of annoyance
Never came near thee:
Thou lovest -- but ne'er knew love's sad satiety.

Waking or asleep,
Thou of death must deem
Things more true and deep
Than we mortals dream,
Or how could thy notes flow in such a crystal stream?

We look before and after,
And pine for what is not:
Our sincerest laughter
With some pain is fraught;
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.

Yet, if we could scorn
Hate, and pride, and fear;
If we were things born
Not to shed a tear,
I know not how thy joy we ever should come near.

Better than all measures
Of delightful sound,
Better than all treasures
That in books are found,
Thy skill to poet were, thou scorner of the ground!

Teach me half the gladness
That thy brain must know,
Such harmonious madness
From my lips would flow
The world should listen then -- as I am listening now.

new one for today

Yelken actım fırtınalı bir aksamda
Gozlerinden olusan bir okyanusa
Dev dalgaların ardındaki sonsuzluga
Once savruldu teknem bir saga bir sola
Sonra ulastı bir sevgi adasına
Sevgiyi gordum Dalgalara muhtac olan sahillerde
Ruzgarlara muhtac olan dalgalarda


Yetmedi daha da enginlere gitmek istedim
Sonsuzluga acılan bir kapının ardına.
Ruzgar savurdu bedenimi sona giden yolda
Acılarla dolu bir ask adasına
Kavusmayı bekleyenlerde,
karsılıksız sevenlerde, umutsuzca ozleyenlerde
Gordüm askın yaralarını..

Yorgun bedenim gitmek istedi bu adadan,
Tekrar acılsamda enginlere,
Uzaklasamadım bu adadan
Gittigimi sansam da o son noktaya
Adaları bıraksamda ardımda,
Birtek seni bırakamadım ardımda.

Tekne battı dev dalgalarda
Kaldım bir basıma bu ıssız adada...

new a few poems for today... ( 02.02.2008 )

Ben bir gün batımıyım simdi
Aksamın darında
Faydam olmaz artık, dagın arkasındaki ota
Baksam geriye ne bıraktım senden arda
uc bes acıya bulanmıs bos bir hatıra

Yazılarımda anlamsız artık bakısların gibi
Versende artık geri
Yazdıgım mektubu, verdigim kalbimi
Ne kaldıki senden bana geri
Bir avuc solmus sevda cicegi.

Anlasaydın , dinleseydin bir beni
Ozaman gorurdun sen bendeki seni
Kaplamısken bu kibir seni
Bekleyemem artık senden beni sevmeni

Yollara dustum mecnun gibi
Daglara taslara sordum tanırlar diye belki seni
Cozmuyor artık dertlerimi, unutmaya calısmak seni
Ne olurdu dinleseydin bu bedeni.

Masumdur kendi bakısları gibi
Kin degildir sana besledigi
Bos degildir kalbi seninki gibi
Bos olan sensin baskasıdır onun sevdigi

Sen bilmedin bu sevginin kıymetini
Bulur elbet bu kalp kendi gibi yurekten seveni
Unutmam ben seni sevmesende beni
Sen gormezden gelsen de bu sevgimi.

CENK
------------------

Bir parmaklık ta sen ekleme gonul pencereme
Bak sen de, demirleri pas tutmus pencerenden hayata
Cok uzaklardan gelse de sana da yeter gunesin ısıgı
Basakları olgunlastıran ruzgar gibi
Dokunuyorum simdi saclarına amansız
Kır neolur, uzerine kapanmıs celik sungulu mahpus kapılarını
Goreceksin ozgurluk sana ne yakın
Yuvası yıkılmıs bir kus feryadı gibi
Feryadım sana son gulumu de sen koparma yar
Serpistir sevda tohumlarını sen de uzerine
Sende ısmarla kendine yeni bir hayat
Beni bekle ısmarladıgın hayat icinde..

CENK

--------------------------------

Hüzün

Hüzünlere dalarım
Icinden cıkılması haftalar alan
Mutluluklarım vardır
Bir cocugun oyuncak hevesi kadar kısa
Ömrü günbatımı kardırdır sevincimin
Ötesini düsünmem nedense?

Sevdam vardır eski bir ceket gibi
Yamalı ama temiz
Sevmek güzeldir aslında
Güzel olmayan ise sevgili
Hayat kısa , uzun olan düsüncelerimiz
Bakıslarımız temizdir, cirkin olan gorduklerimiz
Olumde güzeldir aslında , güzel olmayan olulerdir.
Toprak temiz ve bizdendir,
Onu reddetmemiz icine girmek istemeyisimizdendir.
Kazandıklarımız , kaybettiklerimizdir
Kazanamadıklarımız ise, kaybetmeye goze alamadıklarımızdır...

CENK

-----------------------------

virane ömrüm

Ne arayanım var ne soranım
Senin ugrunda kaybolan yıllarıma yanarım
Kaybetmisim kendimi kendimde ararım
Virane olmus omrumun sebebi sensin
Hayallerle yuva kurdum
Harabe oldu,
Yıkıldı harabe altında kalbim kaldı
Tükendi ömrüm , azrail kapımı caldı,
Virane olmus ömrümün sebebi sensin...

CENK

--------------------------------

for my mother

Kendimi aşsam sana gelirdim Anne
Kurtulmak icin kacarken kendimden
Yine kendime takılıp dustum yere
Yer senin gibi kokuyordu Anne

Simdi ruzgar oksuyor saclarımı sen degil Anne
Gunes alınmasın ama, senin kadar sıcak degil Anne
Toprak kucagının rahatlıgını vermiyor bana
Hic bir yer senin yanın kadar guvenli degil Anne

Simdi, aglarken hep gozyaslarımı silen ellerini ozluyor
Gunahkar dudaklarım opmek icin
Yüregim yüreginin sıcaklıgını tasıyor Anne
Gece ustumu senin gibi ortmuyor
Kimseler sarmıyor beni sen gibi
Kendimi aşsam san gelirdim Anne.

Bir zalim beni baglamıs kendine sen gibi
Yuregi sıcacık tıpkı gülümsemen gibi
Ona da varamıyorum sana varamadıgım gibi
Kendimden kacsam sendeyim Anne...

William Butler Yeats

Never Give All The Heart


Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that's lovely is
But a brief, dreamy. Kind delight.
O never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.


O Do Not Love Too Long


SWEETHEART, do not love too long:
I loved long and long,
And grew to be out of fashion
Like an old song.
All through the years of our youth
Neither could have known
Their own thought from the other's,
We were so much at one.
But O, in a minute she changed -
O do not love too long,
Or you will grow out of fashion
Like an old song.

TO THE DISTANT ONE

by: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

ND have I lost thee evermore,
Hast thou, oh, fair one, from me flown?
Still in mine ear sounds, as of yore,
Thine every word, thine every tone.

As when at morn the wanderer's eye
Attempts to pierce the air in vain,
When, hidden in the azure sky,
The lark high o'er him chants his strain:

So do I cast my troubled gaze
Through bush, through forest, o'er the lea;
Thou art invoked by all my lays;
Oh, come then, loved one, back to me!

Göthe - beautiful.

ÜÇÜNCÃœ ŞAHSIN ŞİİRİ-Atilla Ilhan

Gözlerin gözlerime degince,
felaketim olurdu aglardim.
Beni sevmiyordun bilirdim,
bir sevdigin vardi duyardim.
Çöp gibi bir oglan ipince,
hayirsizin biriydi fikrimce.
Ne vakit karsimda görsem,
öldürecegimden korkardim,
felaketim olurdu aglardim.

Ne vakit Maçka'dan geçsem,
limanda hep gemiler olurdu.
Agaçlar kus gibi gülerdi,
bir rüzgar aklimi alirdi.
Sessizce bir cigara yakardin,
parmaklarimin ucunu yakardin,
kirpiklerini egerdin bakardin.
Üsürdüm içim ürperirdi,
felaketim olurdu aglardim.

Aksamlar bir roman gibi biterdi.
Jezabel kan içinde yatardi.
Limandan bir gemi giderdi,
sen kalkip ona giderdin.
Benzin mum gibi giderdin,
sabaha kadar kalirdin.
Hayirsizin biriydi fikrimce,
güldü mü cenazeye benzerdi.
Hele seni kollarina aldi mi;
felaketim olurdu aglardim.

Anlatamiyorum ki nekadar cabalasam da

Unutmaya calistigim da sensin her gece
Ay'la birlikte sonsuz bir karanlikta
Unutamiyorum ki nekadar cabalasam da
Yüregimi isitan o sicacik sefkatini..

Inanmak senin elinde gercek nedir diye,
Inanmamak ise sadece senin tercihin
Kendimi anlatmak degil derdim
Ben zaten biraktigin o gercegin kendisiyim.

I am like an orphan now, sitting on the corner of a wall
So that my tears do not flow, I am clenching my teeth
Now you are not by my side, I am destitute without you
The whining of the wind accompanies my sadness
The moon cannot enlighten my night of darkness,
Suddenly the sun rises to my dawn, without noticing it becomes evening at once
You are me, but I am you, it is no use I cannot forget you
Did you have to leave this world of mine
Knowing that I would lose all that makes me me
I am now leaning against your name carved into the dried tree
If you were to return, would that which I love flourish again.
Would my broken heart accept you in again
I don't knowi would it be as hot as it used to be
I cannot accept you in, for you would shiver, please don't insist
I don't know how right it would be to mend a broken heart

Hey Cenk, I have a couple of words for you,
What are you waiting for?
To be hated?
To be loved once more?
I just laugh at you
I tease you
If you still haven't realised the whole thing
Carry on loving, carry on so that you can realise
How I beat you.
You are just one of my millions of slaves
Who continues to love without expecting anything in return
This is my task, and you are the victim
First made happy, then made sad.
Think about it, it is in the poems you write so often
Do you know who I am now?
My name is "LOVE" that is who I am..

Bakarmiyim gözlerinin icine yine saatlerce,
Izlermiyiz yine birbirimizi uyurken
Yine boyle bir sevgililer gununde.

Bilemiyorum yine gülümsermisin beni düsündügünde ilerde bir gün
hissedermisin ince bir sızı o sevgi dolu kalbinde
Sararmi bir ates yeniden tüm bedenini
Yine boyle bir sevgililer gününde.

Yıkanmaz benim sevgim zaman hep yagmurlu gecsede
Vücudumu kaplayan yagmur degil , gozlerimdeki inciler
Bilemem bana donermisin ilerde bir gün yine
Umrumda degil, bekliyor olacagim seni yine boyle bir sevgililer gununde...

I cannot tell whether we will meet again one day
Whether I will once more gaze into your eyes for hours
Whether we will watch each other sleeping
On another Valentine's Day like this.

I cannot tell whether one day you will smile once more when you think of me
Whether you will feel a slight pulsating in your heart so full of love
Whether your body will embrace a fire once more
On another Valentine's Day like this.

Even if it rains constantly, time cannot wash away my love
It is not the rain covering my body, but the pearls in my eyes (**)
I cannot tell whether you will return to me one day in the future
But I don't care, I will wait for you on another Valentine's Day like this...

Note: sorry Cenk I don't like my translation of the line I have marked (**). Could you write an explanation of the Turkish, so I make sure I have translated it right. Or can anyone else correct what I wrote? It doesn't seem to fit with the line before it, or after it

This is not from me but i love this song lyrics

Bryan Adams - Please Forgive me

It still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss and
It's gettin' better baby
No one can better this
I'm still hold on and you're still the one
The first time our eyes met it's the same feelin' I get
Only feels much stronger and I wanna love ya longer
You still turn the fire on

So If you're feelin' lonely.. don't
You're the only one I'd ever want
I only wanna make it good
So if I love ya a little more than I should

Please forgive me I know not what I do
Please forgive me I can't stop lovin' you
Don't deny me

This pain I'm going through
Please forgive me
If I need ya like I do
Please believe me
Every word I say is true
Please forgive me I can't stop loving you
Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch

We're still gettin' closer baby
Can't get close enough I'm still holdin' on
You're still number one I remember the smell of your skin
I remember everything
I remember all your moves
I remember you
I remember the nights ya know I still do

One thing I'm sure of
Is the way we make love
And the one thing I depend on
Is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I'm prayin'
That's why I'm sayin'...

Sun, while saying hello this morning with its warm face
To my cold body that is trying to get out of the darkness,
I couldn't open my eyes to say hello to you too.

It wouldn't be like I've imagined again, this morning
You wouldn't be by my side, I wouldn't be able to see your blueness
Happiness rains wouldn't rain on me
What would happen if I said hello every day
To this warm sun that comes to my window...

New 2 for today (18.02.2008)
Çok soguk...
Bugün kar var dısarda,
Buz gibi bir hava, parmaklarım dunmus uyandıgımda
Baktım bembeyaz bir örtü kaplamıs tüm acıların üstünü
Gülümsedim, pencerimin demirlerine konmuş kücük bir serceye

Birseyler soylemek ister gibi baktı bana
Sanki, üsüme, bu kıs gecer bahar gelir diyordu
Hangi mevsim seni bana getirir ki? hangi bahar? hangi kış?
Mevsimleri saymaktansa hep bir ümitle,
Bırak, herzaman kar yagsın acılarımın üstüne

CENK...

-----------------------------------------------------


Sanslıyım

Her aldıgımda gitarı elime
Seni calıyorum her notada
Sana soyluyorum her sarkıyı
Yüregimin haykırısını duymasanda



Yazdıgım her siirde, her sarkıda
Ne kadar sanslısın ki, sen varsın
En az senin kadar şanslıyım ki,
Her şiiri , her şarkıyı yazdıgım tek kadınsın

CENK...

soulmates

i had often wondered
what does to have a soulmate mean
does it really ever happen
or is it simply just a dream
then suddenly into my life
came the greatest gift i could receive
a soulmate who has brought more joy than i ever could believe.
For i knew from when i met you
we had something very rare
it was as if we were as one
and we would for each other care
far deeper even than my my heart
is the love i feel for you.
The way it lies within my soul
tells me it's really true
for, before i'd never found
such meaning in each day
nor the close and loving bond
i share with you in every way.

i would be grateful if anybody could also translate this into turkish. xx

special dream

if i could dream a special dream
and have that dream come true
i would dream of love and happiness
and share that dream with you

i dream a dream of you my dear
a dream for us to share
a dream to show my love for you
a dream to show i care

as each days dawns and starts anew
and each day ends i think of you
and inbetween, no matter where
in my thoughts
you're always there

if i could dream a special dream
then things would be alright
as i would not be dreaming
as i'd be with you every night

Saat 05:43 hala uyumadim dunku gibi,
Sessizligin ortasında duydugum sadece senin sesin
Her saniye geçerken hayatımdan
Düsündüm karanlıgımı aydınlatan o guzel yuzunu
Gün agarmaya baslarken,
Parıldayan tek yıldız var bulutların arasında
Alevlenen bir tek senin ismin var yine kalbimin ortasında
Duyabilirmisin sesimi hiç konusmasamda
Hissedermisin seni düsündügümü
Benim sabahım, senin aksamın olan bu soguk subat gününde..

It's very cold...
There's snow outside today,
Ice cold weather, my fingers froze* when I woke up
I saw that a pure white cover has covered all the pains
I smiled to a little sparrow that perched on my window's bars

It looked at me as if wanting to say something
Like saying, don't be cold, this winter ends and spring comes
But which season brings you to me? Which spring? Which winter?
Instead of counting the seasons with an endless hope
Leave it, let snow fall on my pain always.

*I hope you meant "donmuş"

I'm lucky

Each time I take the guitar into my hand
I'm playing you with every note
I'm singing to you every song
Even if you don't hear my heart's scream

In every poem I write, in every song
How lucky you are, that you're there
I'm at least as lucky as you because,
You're the only woman I write each poem, each song to

It's 05:43, I didn't sleep just like yesterday,
In the middle of the silence the only thing I hear is your voice
With every second that passes from my life
I thought about your beautiful face which had lightened my darkness up
There's only one star that twinkles among the clouds
There's only your name which flames up in the middle of my heart
Can you hear my voice even if I don't speak at all
Can you feel that I think about you
In this cold February day, which is my morning and your night...

Oyle bir baktın ki bana
Unutmak imkansız o parıltını,
Oyle derinlere dalmısım ki
Cabalamak nafile, kaybolmusum maviliginde
Nefes almak bile son isteğim
Boğulmak varken okyanus gözlerinde...

Hoscakal demeyecegim sana
Kadere bir sans daha verecegim,
Gunun birinde kavusursak eger
Hatırlarsan beni,belki tekrar gülecegim
Zincire vurumluşsa da yüregim umutsuzlar limanında
Sunu asla unutma seni hep sevecegim..

Poetry translation works better if done from foreign language to native language, because translation of a poem is like writing a poem, not writing an essay.

BUT I do agree it would be better if Cenk opened a new thread for each new poem... that way we (Ayla, me, anyone else... ) could see what still needs translating and help him out quicker.

You looked at me in such a way
That it is impossible to forget that brilliance,
I was lost in such depths that
Struggling is futile, I am lost in your deep blue
While I have breath my last wish
Would be to drown in the oceans of your eyes...

I will not say farwell to you
I will give fate one more chance
If we meet one of these days
You will remember me, maybe I will laugh again
Even if my heart has weighed anchor in the harbour of hopelessness
Never forget this, I will always love you..

Follow the way til' you reach your dreams
you keep on movin'
never give up the belief
let the good times roll
you know
stay true to yourself anytime
and you will get the dream
you've always reached for
take all your chances, don't give up
never let a good thing slip away

Don't stop believing
Stand for what you believe
Don't stop believing

You better listen to your inner voice
don't ever look back
never say your fate is sealed
you've got it in your hands
you know
let it out and live your dreams
and you will get the things you always wanted
believe in yourself, break the chains
never fight the fire in your soul

You are right Marion but i am writing mostly everyday. so too many poems = too many thread and i think admins wont like them i am posting my poems in this thread as a "new for one today".. and i am so grateful marion and ayla for translate them.. and catwoman thnk you for your comments and compliment about my poems but my english is not enough to translate them i dont want to lose meaning of sentences.

New one for today ( 26.02.2008 )

Gokkusagındaki renkler gibisin
Yesil kadar huzur verici gülüsün
Mavi kadar derin gözlerin
Kırmızı kadar sıcak kalbin..
Yagmur yagar, ardından cıkarsın ortaya
Sanki hayat verirsin tüm dogaya..

Kısa bir süre bile olsa,
Seni gormek, güzelligine bakmak,
Barındırdıgın tüm renkleri hissetmek kadar güzel ne olabilir?
Bilsemde az sonra gideceğini korkmam,
Bilirim cunku tekrar gelecegini,
Gonlume yagan bu yagmur hic bitmesin,
Her sagnak ardından seni gorebileyim..

I Want to Be Inside You
Pierre de Ronsard

A hundred times I wish I could transform myself
And become an invisible spirit that hides inside your heart
And seeks to comprehend your scorn
Which seems to me so cruel.

I would become master of your emotion.
I would discover the pulse of your nerves
As they flow through your flesh and change
Your disdain. And then I would know you.

In spite of yourself, against your will
I would be a part of your desires and your terms.
And I would chase the coolness from your veins.

So perfectly, love could set fire to you,
Then, when I saw them burst into full flame,
I would step out and be a man again.

Erotic poetry time? Here's Erica Jong:

The Long Tunnel of Wanting You
From How to Save Your Own Life

This is the long tunnel of wanting you.
Its walls are lined with remembered kisses
wet & red as the inside of your mouth,
full & juicy as your probing tongue,
warm as your belly against mine,
deep as your navel leading home,
soft as your sleeping cock beginning to stir,
tight as your legs wrapped around mine,
straight as your toes pointing toward the bed
as you roll over & thrust your hardness
into the long tunnel of my wanting,
seeding it with dreams & unbearable hope,
making memories of the future,
straightening out my crooked past,
teaching me to live in the present present tense
with the past perfect and the uncertain future
suddenly certain for certain
in the long tunnel of my old wanting
which before always had an ending
but now begins & begins again
with you, with you, with you.

Since we honor 'The Kiss'...

KISS

While you sleep – I am here.
While you wake – I am near..
When you smile – your lips red.
Kiss …..

While you speak – I listen.
While you rest – I awake.
When you cry – my tears glisten.
Kiss ….

While you dance – I am singing.
While you search – I am finding.
When you desire – my urge strengthens.
Kiss...

While you breathe – I am captured.
While you live- You allure me.
When you love - my heart is enchanted.
Kiss …..

While you walk, talk and laugh..
While you nap, worry, wonder.....
When you Breathe, live and love…
Kiss.

Kiss….. while the poppies grow.
Kiss….. while moon’s aglow..
Kiss….. while the wind shifts…
Kiss….. while the snow drifts…
While the sun shines and the rain dines…

While you sleep, wake and smile.
Laugh, rest or cry……
While you sing, search, desire…
When..…..you breathe.
Worry not dear one …instead.
Wonder…...and
Kiss...

On the first day of love…
Kiss.
While I am near...
Kiss.

While I breathe...

While I can be found...

Kiss.....

At Lunchtime A Story of Love -Roger Mcgough

When the bus stopped suddenly
to avoid damaging
a mother and child in the road,
the young lady in the green hat sitting opposite,
was thrown across me,
and not being one to miss an opportunity
I started to make love.

At first, she resisted,
saying that it was too early in the morning,
and too soon after breakfast,
and anyway, she found me repulsive.
But when I explained
that this being a nuclearage
the world was going to end at lunchtime,
she took off her green hat,
put her bus ticket into her pocket
and joined in the exercise.

The bus people,
and there were many of them,
were shocked and surprised,
and amused and annoyed.
But when the word got around
that the world was going to end at lunchtime,
they put their pride in their pockets
with their bus tickets
and made love one with the other.
And even the bus conductor,
feeling left out,
climbed into the cab,
and struck up some sort of relationship with the driver.

That night,
on the bus coming home,
we were all a little embarrassed.
Especially me and the young lady in the green hat.
And we all started to say
in different ways
how hasty and foolish we had been.
But then, always having been a bit of a lad,
I stood up and said it was a pity
that the world didnt nearly end every lunchtime,
and that we could always pretend.
And then it happened ...

Quick as a crash
we all changed partners,
and soon the bus was a quiver
with white, mothball bodies doing naughty things.

And the next day
and everyday
In every bus
In every street
In every town
In every country

People pretended
that the world was coming to an end at lunchtime.
It still hasnt.
Although in a way it has.

LIFE AND LOVE ON CANVAS

A stretched canvas...
A palette...A brush.
Colors...A portrait.
Life and love begin...

The faded background...
The whites...
The reds...
The Blues...

The shape of her face...
A stroke of his hair.
Her lips full...his eyes kind.
Her cheeks...his nose.

Is there difficulty in this?
It is pure love dear one.
Sight, fondness, touching...
Walking, gazing, holding...

The portrait proceeds...

The brush impels the artist.
Green, orange, pink...
Shades of crimson...oh so soft.
Life and love on canvas.


The walk continues...
Melodious lineaments.
Emotional longing...consoling.
Feelings aspiring...lasting...

The artist’s errant hand
prolongs the inevitable.
Cherished life and love is now
blossoming - ever so quickly...

Embracing, touching, knowing.
Bodies gently entwining.
Sweat glands meeting...gliding.
Lips kissing...moods rising.

Red, yellow and whites
announce and pronounce the passion.
Purples and blues
explode, then soften the energy .

Life and love...passion and desire.
Hold me tight, bring me closer.
Hearts are racing, more embracing.
Nothing is lost...

Suddenly...

Emotions crawl...soon after - stop.
Breathing slows…the cessation
is...welcomed...
Hush...Sleep now my love...

The artist’s brush...It rests.
The day, like the energies, are spent.
But the Portrait dear one ?
The Portrait you ask...?

It lives...

Roger Mcgough is one of my favourite poets for children. He loves to experiment with play on words and form. One of my favourites is:

'To amuse emus on warm summer nights
Kiwis do weewees from spectacular heights'

He was a member of a band called 'The Scaffold' in the 60s. I can remember one of their songs in particular was sung everywhere by everyone at the time.

Roger is the one with the glasses and Paul Macartney's (the Beatles) brother is the one on the right. (The one in the middle may be Handsom . . . the truth will out !!! ):

Uncertainty
by Adam Mickiewicz
While I don't see you, I don't shed a tear
I never lose my senses when you're near,
But, with our meetings few and far between
There's something missing, waiting to be seen.
Is there a name for what I'm thinking of?
Are we just friends? Or should I call this love?

As soon as we have said our last good-byes,
Your image never floats before my eyes;
But more than once, when you have been long gone,
I seemed to feel your presence linger on.
I wonder then what I've been thinking of.
Are we just friends? Or should I call this love?

When I'm downcast, I never seek relief
By pouring out my heart in tales of grief;
Yet, as I wander aimlessly, once more
I somehow end up knocking at your door;
What brought me here? What am I thinking of?
Are we just friends? Or should I call this love?

I'd give my life to keep you sound and well,
To make you smile, I would descend to hell;
But though I'd climb the mountains, swim the seas
I do not look to be your health and peace:
Again I ask, what am I thinking of?
Are we just friends? or should I call this love?

And when you place your hand upon my palm,
I am enveloped in a blissful calm,
Prefiguring some final, gentle rest;
But still my heart beats loudly in my breast
As if to ask: what are you thinking of?
Are you two friends? or will you call this love?

Not bardic spirit seized my mortal tongue
When I thought of you and composed this song;
But still, I can't help wondering sometimes:
Where did these notions come from, and these rhymes?
In heaven's name, what I was dreaming of?
And what had inspired me? Friendship or love?

Grandmother, Mother, Daughter
'In this Time...and In this Place...'

I wake in the midst of humor.
What is funny? Where are the charms?
Life is grand...the day begins, the sun is up.
The moon is sleeping...the light – it warms.

The radio plays ‘Pretty Blue Eyes’.
My ears hear blissful crying.
‘I see birds outside my window,’
My daughter says subtly sighing...

Awake I say...'Is this truly me?…
In this time...and in this place?
Where am I in my life'?
Suspicion...Reality...Both so rife.

Everyday vigor...Everyday living.
Constant strife...Constant giving.
A speck of sand in a gust of wind.
What say then?...Give up?...Rescind?

Wait dear one...perception is reality!

'Hear this my child...
In this time..and in this place?
Where am I in my life?
Shall I prevail? Should I be pleased'?


‘Define me’, Mother utters.
‘My dear child...You are my mother’s
grandaugther...Such a pearl.
'Look now luv', she cries...your little girl.’

'Capture her with charm.
Subdue her with subtleness.
Overwhelm her with encouragement.
Ahhh - but love her with tenderness'.

'Hear this well Grandmother...
In this time...and in this place…
Where I am in my life...
I shall seek growth! I shall find mirth!

While I hunt clarity and until I see clearly.
Push me...Digress not will I this day!
You are an angel to me Grandmother.
You are my Lifeguide...Stay...Please stay'.

‘Imogen...come out to play,’ they ask.
‘Can she please... Please with Pretty on it’?
She dresses herself. I wink. She blinks.
My first star...She twinkles...She shines.

‘Come dear child...Hear this before you go.
In this time…and in this place
Where you are in your life.
Play...run and swing...grow...love and sing.

But not yet my charismatic kitten.
Leave we must...Your brother waits'
'Who?.... Grandmother...Who'?
'Your brother Joseph comes...Dear child he’s late'.

Grand as grand can give...
Living life...as life should live.
Choosing to dance in the aisles...
Wishing to sing to see her smiles.

Look past the emotions Grandmother.
‘This is where I choose to be.
In this time…and in this place
For you...for her...and for me.’

LOVE (III)
by George Herbert


Love bade me welcome, yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-ey'd Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
If I lack'd anything.

"A guest," I answer'd, "worthy to be here";
Love said, "You shall be he."
"I, the unkind, the ungrateful? ah my dear,
I cannot look on thee."
Love took my hand and smiling did reply,
"Who made the eyes but I?"

"Truth, Lord, but I have marr'd them; let my shame
Go where it doth deserve."
"And know you not," says Love, "who bore the blame?"
"My dear, then I will serve."
"You must sit down," says Love, "and taste my meat."
So I did sit and eat.

It might be an old poem, but discovered it recently

MISUNDERSTANDING

I placed
my hand
upon
her thigh.

By the way
she moved
away
I could see
her devotion
to literature
was not
perfect.
==========================
Nausicaa

"I'm the sort of girl
you must first tell you love."
"I love you," I said.
She gave herself to me then
and I enjoyed her on her perfumed bed.

By the gods, the pleasure in her small
wriggling body was so great,
I had spoken no lecherous falsehood.
Now not I nor my beloved,
such is our heat,
can wait for either words or scented sheet
but on her or my raincoat go roughly to it.
========================================

There Were No Signs

By walking I found out
Where I was going.

By intensely hating, how to love.
By loving, whom and what to love.

By grieving, how to laugh from the belly.

Out of infirmity, I have built strength.
Out of untruth, truth.

From hypocrisy, I wove directness.

Almost now I know who I am.
Almost I have the boldness to be that man.

Another step
And I shall be where I started from.

If I could be
What would I be?
If I could be
I would be me.

1986



A delight in 16...And a great deal it says indeed kq...
Here's :....

A Spot of Tea in 43...

ah for an hour
from the start.
for a moment
in one’s own heart...

indeed we are,
if we could be
our very selves,
despite what others see.

for in this place
and in this time.
we are but breaths
in poignant rhyme...

thanks kq...



You're welcome eddie.

Here's a portion from an expert

"I wonder
from these thousand of "me's",
which one am I?
Listen to my cry, do not drown my voice"


Rumi - "Hidden Music" - Maryam Mafi & Azima Melita Kolin

my favourite poem by polish nobel prize winner-wisława szymborska
A "Thank You" Note

There is much I owe

to those I do not love.




The relief in accepting

they are closer to another.




Joy that I am not

the wolf to their sheep.




My peace be with them

for with them I am free,

and this, love can neither give,

nor know how to take.




I don't wait for them

from window to door.

Almost as patient

as a sun dial,

I understand

what love does not understand.

I forgive

what love would never have forgiven.




Between rendezvous and letter

no eternity passes,

only a few days or weeks.




My trips with them always turn out well.

Concerts are heard.

Cathedrals are toured.

Landscapes are distinct.




And when seven rivers and mountains

come between us,

they are rivers and mountains

well known from any map.




It is thanks to them

that I live in three dimensions,

in a non-lyrical and non-rhetorical space,

with a shifting, thus real, horizon.




They don't even know

how much they carry in their empty hands.


"I don't owe them anything",

love would have said

on this open topic.

New one for today ( 26.02.2008 )

Gokkusagındaki renkler gibisin
Yesil kadar huzur verici gülüsün
Mavi kadar derin gözlerin
Kırmızı kadar sıcak kalbin..
Yagmur yagar, ardından cıkarsın ortaya
Sanki hayat verirsin tüm dogaya..

Kısa bir süre bile olsa,
Seni gormek, güzelligine bakmak,
Barındırdıgın tüm renkleri hissetmek kadar güzel ne olabilir?
Bilsemde az sonra gideceğini korkmam,
Bilirim cunku tekrar gelecegini,
Gonlume yagan bu yagmur hic bitmesin,
Her sagnak ardından seni gorebileyim..

Ne bir cocuk vardı, ne de avuclarında SEN....

What Should I Say - Sir Thomas Wyatt

What should I say,
Since faith is dead,
And truth away
From you is fled?
Should I be led
With doubleness?
Nay, nay, mistress!

I promised you,
And you promised me,
To be as true
As I would be.
But since I see
Your double heart,
Farewell my part!

Though for to take
It is not my mind,
But to forsake
I am not blind
And as I find,
So will I trust:
Farewell, unjust!

Can ye say nay?
But you said
That I alway
Should be obeyed?
And thus betrayed
Or that I wist--
Farewell, unkissed.

From Now On (Anymore)
Even if you were the Koran, the Gospel or the Psalms
I will not open you [to read you] anymore
Even if you were the elixer of life
I will not drink of you anymore

Even if you were a magnificent bird
Even if you were the first among all that is beautiful
Even if you were a priceless fabric
I will not sew you anymore

Even if you were the rose of a special garden
Even if you were honey of white seeds
Even if you were a coral-colored pearl
I will not wear you anymore

Death is what the Lord wisheth
Your words are wounds on my soul
Even if you were the bridge to heaven
I will not pass you anymore

Bundan Sonra
kuran, incil, zebur olsan
açmam seni bundan sonra
abıkevser suyu olsan
içmem seni bundan sonra

eğer ulu bir kuş olsan
cümle güzele baş olsan
paha yetmez kumaş olsan
biçmem seni bundan sonra

has bahçenin gülü olsan
beyaz tohum balı olsan
nur-i mercan inci olsan
takmam seni bundan sonra

ölümdür hakkın muradı
sözün özüme yaradır
olsan cennettin sıratı

the way you translate feelings instead of giving them an appropriate response... it may be well accustomed on your planet, but on portokal's province leads to dying out because of lack of communication. hope you understand what i meant with translating feelings.

I found this rather nice poem on a lyric / poetry site some time ago with an anonymous author:

I close my eyes at night and dream,
about the man of my fantasies
He kisses me so soft and tender
He makes my heart want to surrender
with the gentle stroke of his hands
he takes me to a land, in heaven
his arms hold me close
as if a silent promise to not let me go
feeling the deepness of passion while making love
who is the name of the one I dream of?
I feel his intesity as I open my eyes
and look up
it was you all along I was dreaming of..............

Sorrows Of The Moon-Baudelaire (translated by Joanna Richardson)

This evening the moon dreams more lazily
As some fair woman, lost in cushions deep
With gentle hand caresses listlessly
The contour of her breasts before she sleeps

On velvet backs of avalanches soft
She often lies enraptured as she dies
And gazes on white visions aloft
Which like a blossoming to heaven rise

When sometimes on this globe, in indolence
She lets a secret tear drop down, by chance
A poet, set against oblivion

Takes in his hand this pale and furtive tear
This opal drop where rainbow hues appear
And hides it in his breast far from the sun

(From IRVING LAYTON)
The worm

Thw filty rain
blackens the street

Knowing that you lie
this afternoon
whimpering in another man's
arms

I picture you stretched out,
a stiffened corpse

And your cold vagina
extruding
a solitary pink
worm.
==========================

Bargain

In fourteen years
of married bliss
Not once have I been disloyal
to my wife;
and you, I am told, are still
a virgin.

If you are set
to barter your maidenhead
for my unheard-of fidelity
call me between three and five tomorrow
and it is done.

To a Creole Lady-Charles Baudelaire

In the perfumed country which the sun caresses,
I knew, under a canopy of crimson trees
And palms from which indolence rains into your eyes,
A Creole lady whose charms were unknown.

Her complexion is pale and warm; the dark enchantress
Affects a noble air with the movements of her neck.
Tall and slender, she walks like a huntress;
Her smile is calm and her eye confident.

If you went, Madame, to the true land of glory,
On the banks of the Seine or along the green Loire,
Beauty fit to ornament those ancient manors,

You'd make, in the shelter of those shady retreats,
A thousand sonnets grow in the hearts of poets,
Whom your large eyes would make more subject than your slaves.

===========================================


I WORSHIP YOU LIKE NIGHT'S PAVILION-Charles Baudelaire

I worship you like night's pavilion,
O vase of sadness, o great silent one,
And love you more since you escape from me,
And since you seem, my night's sublimity,
To mock me and increase the leagues that lie
Between my arms and blue immensity.

I move to attack, beseige, assail,
Like eager worms after a funeral.
I even love, o beast implacable,
The coldness which makes you more beautiful.

Bakarsan gökyüzüne , goreceksin
Adini yazmis zaten bulutlar, beni kiskanircasina

My try Cenk

This love burns me,
And my ashes are scattered to
The oceans, the tief of your eye colour.
This man gets miserable with your absence,
Strong with your existence.

This love will overrun the mountains between us,
Stars will guide in the darkness of the night.
What use if I write your name on the walls, in my plams?
If you look at the sky, you will see,
The clouds have already written it as if they are jealous of me

Cenk always mentions your name in his words.
He tells you about you who is shining in the darkness.
Whenever he thinks you love him,
He knows, it makes life worth living

Her nefes alisimda, titreyen su kalbim seni arar,
Hissettigi an seni, kanayan yaralarini kabuk baglar.
Düsler mi gerçek, gerçekler mi bir düs yoksa
Gerçeklesir belki bir gün, bitmesin, düs bile olsa

Uzatsam elimi dukunacakmisim gibi yakinsin
Kelimelerin gücü yetmez anlatmaya gözlerinin güzelligini
Tutamasam da ellerini o kadar yakinken
Ne olur vazgeçme sevdigim , beni sevdigini söylemekten.

Umut kalbinin anahtaridir özgürlüge acilan
Bakarken gecenin karanligina bugulu penceremden
Bir kaç melodi gecer aklimdan,
Gitarıma her vuruşumda , sadece bir ses çıkar,
"Seni seviyorum , içimde hep bir ümit var."

With every breath I take, this trembling heart of mine seeks you,
The moment it feels you, the bleeding wounds scab over.
Are dreams real, or is reality a dream instead,
Maybe it will come true one day, but let it never end even if it is a dream.

You seem so close that if I stretch out my hand I could touch you
Words are not enough to describe the beauty of your eyes
Even if I cannot hold your hand, while you are so close,
Please never ever give up saying you love me.

Hope is the key of the heart, opening the way to freedom
As I watch the darkness of the night through my misty window
A few melodies flow through my mind,
With every strum of my guitar, just one voice is heard,
"I love you, there is always one hope within me."

Come and enter into my world my angel with white wings
These deaf and mute walls should tell you my suffering without you
Drops of melted ice are the whitnesses of my love
Come and melt in the passion of my love my angel

I become the light and brighten your world
I turn into a fire and warm your cold room
I become tear drops and flow down your cheeks
I become the rain and land on your palms from the sky

My arms, my hands are shackled
All doors are closed on me
The roads come to you are all blocked
You do come and melt in the passion of my love my angel

This ordeal, this sorrow, this love
all mine
I am a prisoner in you, so you are , in me
And now my white angel, our freedom is in your hands

Flutter your wings for both of us
Set your love as free as birds
Love knows where to take refuge
Enough, come and enter into my world my angel with white wings

Geceler de tanıdı seni, anladilar sonunda senden vazgecmeyecegimi,
Sende vazgecme ne olur, ne olur sitem dokulmesin dilinden.
Sil artik o gözyaslarini, senin olmaya geliyorum
Her derde, izdiraba inat, cektiklerimden korkmuyorum..

Cenk..


I do feel like heavy rain clouds
My whole soul outbursts with a lightening
you may think the drops falling on you is rain
realise, it is my love burnt body raining on you.

My words are all about you and in my mind, it is only us
my heart is yours my wild flower, only yours
Others get drowned in your eyes, they should not look, please.
They will get lost in your unbounded heart, i know
It is very soon for me to come to you my lover
It is your right to have me, i know

I know the agony of the morningless nights.
They whitnessed my love, my grief and every bit of me burnt with your passion
Even the nights knew you, they knew in the end, I would not give up you
Please, you dont give up either, please, no more sad words from your mouth
wipe your tears now, I am coming to become yours
despite the whole suffering and the whole agony, my sufferings dont scare me.

my try!! it was a difficult one

new one for today..

Sensiz Olmak

Tüm isiklar arasında , karanlikta kalmaktir sensiz olmak
Carsaf gibi denizlerde , alabora olmaktır,
Firtinasiz günlerde , savrulmaktir sağa sola,
üsümektir yaz günesinin altında, sensiz olmak.

bembeyaz karlarla kaplı daglarda solan bir kardelendir,
ilkbaharda dökmektir yapraklarini, sonbahar gelmeden
cocukca korkulara kapilmaktir sensiz olmak
Tüm yesillerin solmasidir belki,
Belki de denizlerin kurumasidir, avuclarimda kuruyan gözyaslarim gibi ..

Without you

Being without you is being in the dark amongst all lights
It is like being capsized in calm waters
It is being hurled when there is no storm
Being without you is geting cold under the summer sun

It is a dying snowdrop on snow covered mountains
It is like leaves falling off in the spring before the arrival of autumn
Being without you is having childeren's fears
Maybe, it is like dying of all greens
Maybe, seas drying out, like my tear drops, drying in my palms

Dün yine seni düşÃ¼nüyordum bugün gibi
Gözlerim ıslak, yüregim aglamakli
Bildigim halde benim oldugunu,
Her uyandigimda seni görememek,
Her uyandigimda sana dokunamamak,
Her uyandigimda seni sevdigimi sana söyleyememek
Beni bin kere öldürse de, merak etme sakin,
Sevgin yüregimde bir okyanus, tükenmez sevdigim...

When?

Yesterday I was thinking about you again, like today
My eyes were wet with tears, my heart was crying
Although I knew you were mine,
Not to be able to see you every time I awake
Not to be able to touch you every time I awake
Not to be able to tell you I love you every time I awake
Kills me a thousand times over, but don't worry
Your love is like an ocean within my heart, my love that will never run dry...

Yesterday I was thinking about you again, like today
And I asked God "When?"....

Sen, bu gece de bak o sectigin parlak yildiza
Bulutlar örtse de gökyüzünü ,
Sen, o puslu geceye , o bulutlara inat, yine de bak!
O orada, hep seni seyrediyor olacak!
Sen göremesen de onu, yansımasa da isigi yüzüne
O görmek isteyecektir hep, bulutlar kaplasa da tüm evreni
Görmeden yapamaz ki zaten o muhtesem gözlerini..

Biliyorum birtanem zor ayri olmamiz,
Ben senin yildizin, sen benim yeryüzümsün,
Kavusurmuyuz bilmem belli mi olur deniz gözlüm,
Yanmayi, yok olmayi göze alirim, bir gece kayarim ansizin gökyüzünden.
Bakisini, gezisini ve hüzünlü gecelerini seyrederim caresiz
Belki de kavusmayi hayal edip , öylece beklerim seni..

Ne olurdu bu ayrilik olamsaydi ikimize
Görebilseydin sevginle parlayan o gözlerimi
Ne olurdu sana yazan ellerimi sımsıkı tutsaydin.
Bilirim bu rüya burada bitmez, bitmez sana olan özlemim

Simdi yum gözlerini sevdigim ve hayal et beni
Beni , bensiz gecen günlerinin, aylarinin icine al
Al ki , alayim acilarini, hüzünlerini yorgun bedeninden,
Sonra sen ben ol, ben de sen olayim
Kaldirmak icin aradan koca engelleri,
Gel ,bu askin alevinde , bedenlerimizi yakalim...

Quoting AEnigma III:

When you are old - William Butler Yeats

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.



I was having a bath and reading a poetry book (Yeats-selected poems/pan classics- an old and thin book)
And suddenly I saw this poem
and thought 'phew...this is amazing'.
Of course, then I realized, it was not the first time I read it..
It was here!! from Aenigma...( a late thanks to her!!)

Anyway, lets finish this with a quote about poetry:

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
Robert Frost

you look again at the your favorite shining star tonight.
Even the clouds cover the sky,
You, despite the clouds, look at that misty night again.
You star will always be watching you up there
Even you dont see it, even if its light does not reflect on your face
Your star will always want to see, even if the clouds may cover the entire universe.
It can not live without seeing your magnificent eyes.

I know my only one, it is hard to be apart.
I am your star, you are my earth
I am not sure if we meet, you never know my sea-eyed
I may take the risk of burning, being destroyed, and one night, suddenly,I may shoot from the sky
And watch desperately your everlasting, melancholic nights
Maybe I just dream of coming together, I just wait for you there..

what if this separation did not exist for us
what if you could see my eyes shining with your love
What if you were to hold my hands, thightly
I know, this dream does not end here, my longing for you does not end.

Now, close your eyes and daydream of me.
Take me into your days and months which have passed without me
Take me, so that I will be able to take your sorrows and saddness from you(r wearied body)
Then, you become me and I become you.
In order to remove these huge barricades
Come, we burn our bodies in the flame of this love.

My try Cenk.

SPITTING IT OUT-Zong Fengming

­--on the concern that my friends feel for me

I'm a silkworm, I just expectorate,
Cheer for the truth, nudge justice along, And hope to leave some pure strands behind.
But I'm a free moth, too.
Broken out of the cocoon, like a Buddha-spirit Floating aloft, untouched, untouchable.


For Turkish friends:

LÂFIMI SAKINMADAN-translation Halil Berktay

-- dostlarimin, benim için
tasidigi endiselere dair

Ben bir ipekböcegiyim, ipegimi salmaktir bütün yaptigim,
Ve gerçegi alkislamak, adaleti biraz ittirmek arkadan,
Ve umarim, geride bazi katiksiz iplikler birakmak.

Ama özgür bir kelebegim ayni zamanda.
Kozasindan çikmis, Buddha’nin ruhu gibi,
Gökte süzülen, dokunulmaz, dokunulmamis.

Poetry is man's rebellion against being what he is. James Branch Cabell

Dedication

You whom I could not save
Listen to me.
Try to understand this simple speech as I would be ashamed of another.
I swear, there is in me no wizardry of words.
I speak to you with silence like a cloud or a tree.

What strengthened me, for you was lethal.
You mixed up farewell to an epoch with the beginning of a new one,
Inspiration of hatred with lyrical beauty,
Blind force with accomplished shape.

Here is the valley of shallow Polish rivers. And an immense bridge
Going into white fog. Here is a broken city,
And the wind throws the screams of gulls on your grave
When I am talking with you.

What is poetry which does not save
Nations or people?
A connivance with official lies,
A song of drunkards whose throats will be cut in a moment,
Readings for sophomore girls.

That I wanted good poetry without knowing it,
That I discovered, late, its salutary aim,
In this and only this I find salvation.

They used to pour millet on graves or poppy seeds
To feed the dead who would come disguised as birds.
I put this book here for you, who once lived
So that you should visit us no more.

Czeslaw Milosz


İTHAF


Seni kurtaramamıştım,
Sen kulak ver bana.
Bu yalınkat sözlerimi anlamaya çalış
Çünkü bir başkası utandırır beni.
İnan bana, söz sihirbazlığı yok bende.

Beni güçlendiren, ölüm demekti senin için
Bir çağa veda ile bir yeni çağın başlangıcını karıştırdın,
Ve nefretin ilhamı ile şiirsel güzelliği,
Kaba kuvvetle narin düzeni.

İşte sığ Polonya ırmaklarının vadisi. Apak sisin içine
Atılmış upuzun bir köprü. İşte yıkık bir kent.
Rüzgâr senin mezarına martı çığlıkları serpiyor
Ben konuşurken seninle.
Şiir nedir ki kurtarmazsa
Ulusları, insanları?
Resmi yalanların suç ortağıdır,
Az sonra gırtlakları kesilecek ayyaşların şarkısı,
Liseli kızlara eğlencelik
Güçlü şiire özlem duydum ya ne olduğunu bilmeden,
Yararlı amacını geç öğrendim ya.
Kurtuluşumu işte bunda buldum, yalnız bunda.

Darı ve haşhaş tohumları dökerlerdi mezarların üstüne
Kuş biçiminde gelen ölüleri beslemek için.
Bu kitabı buraya ben senin için koydum.
Sen eskiden yaşamıştın.
Bir daha bizi ziyaret etme diye.


Czeslaw MILOSZ

SONGS

Songs…
Heaven’s words
Intone.

There, while a baby, a boy.
Mother singing them to me,
While daddy smiles at his new toy.
A journey begins and everyone sings.

Songs.
They helped me squeak.
Helped me utter, yell and speak.
They gave me bouts of artful insight.
It is then my soul, indeed, they often did ignite.

Though my best friends.
Songs even showered, ate, walked along side.
Pushed me to decide, divide, abide - collide.
They were there while playing.
And also by my bedside praying.

They were my cologne - with me when alone.
Helped me study, sleep, work, even atone.
Caused my heart to smile or sometimes turn to stone.
They stayed with me late into the night.
Were my delight, my excite, my daylight
my thoughts, my laughs, my cries, fears and tears.

Songs rocked me into the arms of my girl, my furl, my pearl.
My lover. My anchor. My savor. My life....
My wife.
No strings attached, no rules, no chains or walls.
Songs were my daily kisses and my windfalls.

And you perhaps? Your partner, husband, maybe friend,
mainstay , princess or even Keeper from above?
Songs carry memories and actions of their love.
It matters not where one was born.
These jewels we call our favorite songs,
our ears, our hearts and lives they do adorn.

Songs…
Soared me out where no plane flies.
Swooned my youthful world beyond blue skies.
They touched my soul at times to sigh.
And woke me late at night to cry.
In my sleep, their words, my heart they broke.
It was then at times, my soul awoke.

Songs
Through weeping, sobbing, smiles and laughter.
It’s no surprise you’ve been my only shelter.
Isn’t it enough you evoke my varied passions?
Most times my tears alone are not contained.
Please then why, at times, do you inflict such pain?

They have captured and replayed my past.
Though afraid, still kept and held me steadfast.
They rode alongside, worked, sang with me,
and kept me upright during storms while out at sea.
Never drove me away, instead held me captive every day
as if a willing prisoner in a sweet ballet.


Songs…
The ones I turned to while incredibly sad.
When glad , mad, unclad, or even bad.
But also when my precious babies came along
..…..and I became a dad…….
Whichever, places, or in letters, gifts or faces,
words and melodies leave their traces.
Mix their lyrics, add emotion, start to sing
then feel the nimbus your heart brings.

My songs…
Now you seem distant, hostile and unfriendly.
Why did you leave me? Where did you go?
My friends - My kismet - My life.
I look for you. I long for you.
I need you.

Songs…
My vessels. I die for you.
My poems. I ache for you.
My gems. I miss you.
Return to me.

Songs.

Always…

Songs…..

Okurken satirlari, süzülen gözyaslarinda bogulsam,
O son noktanin öncesinde,
Nabzin durdugu, kanin akmadigi o anda bile ismini haykirsam,

Boslukta kaybolan sesimi duyabilir misin?
Hayat geçmis, zaman gelmis olsa da,
Son nefese bir kac saniye kalsa da,
Yine de söyle sevgilim, duyabilirim,
Sesin boslukta kaybolsa da...

Just before that last moment

What if you stretch your arm and pull me out ...
What if you wait for me like waiting for a letter, after many years
As you read it, if I get drowned in your tears
Just before that last moment
What if I cry your name, even at the time when blood does not flow, pulse stops

Can you hear my voice lost in the blank?
Even life has gone and time has passed,
Even there are only a few seconds till the last breath
You do not worry and say it darling, I can hear,
Even your voice gets lost in the blank..

My try again..

cok tesekkür ederim handsom, gercekten minnettarim

New one for today..

Ucurumun kenarındayım basimi döndüren sevdanla,
Yanan bedenimi tasiyan ayaklarımı yerden kesiyor askinin rüzgarı
Bir adim daha sonra basliyor sonsuzluk,
Bir adım geride ise, sen ve gözlerin.

Bazen kapilirim umutsuzluga herkes gibi,
Bazen aglarim uzun gecelerin gucaginda
Bazen de düslerim mutlulugu yine herkes gibi
Bazen dalarım ufuklara, titreyen sesin çinlarken kulaklarimda.

Benim dünyam sensin, durdurma ne olur,
Sen olmayinca dönmeyecek ki zaten..
izin verme düsmeme, ayaklarim gitse de sonsuzluga
Biliyorum asla cıkamam, eger düsersem bu kenardan..

Cenk..

For debbie...

 

She is There…She is Mine

 

I wait for her each day.

My breath quickens

My eyes seek

My soul paces

My heart races.

 

She is there!

She remembered!

She still cares!

She’s so tender.

She’s enraptured

I am captured….

 

Skip a beat

My heart does.

Skip a breath

My lungs buzz.

How I care.

She’s so rare.

 

Fingers flying

Thoughts are sighing.

Soul is crying.

Arms are aching.

Feelings breaking

 

Her words glisten

My eyes listen.

Her heart ladened

Mine imprisoned.

Smiles are showing.

Love is flowing.

 

She is mine

I am fine.

We are fun.

Oh please love

Not us shun!

 

Late at night

She is with me

She is mine...She is fine…

Her heart treasures’

My soul leisures’

 

We embrace.

She’s like lace

Kiss her face…

Evening come!

We are one….

 

Passions budding

Hearts are drumming.

Bodies giving

Sweat is living.

She’s so limber

I just linger…

 

Breathless music.

Countless lyrics…..

Some for her - some for me

All for us…

Love prevails – NEVER fails….

 

Futile is my sadness now.

Frivolous are my tears.

I see roads of white ahead.

No grayness, no cruelness…

Magnum opus in its stead.

 

Fragrant hair fine as wine…

I am there, so divine.

She is fine.

She is there… She is mine….

Ucurumun kenarındayım basimi döndüren sevdanla,
Yanan bedenimi tasiyan ayaklarımı yerden kesiyor askinin rüzgarı
Bir adim daha sonra basliyor sonsuzluk,
Bir adım geride ise, sen ve gözlerin.

Bazen kapilirim umutsuzluga herkes gibi,
Bazen aglarim uzun gecelerin gucaginda
Bazen de düslerim mutlulugu yine herkes gibi
Bazen dalarım ufuklara, titreyen sesin çinlarken kulaklarimda.

Benim dünyam sensin, durdurma ne olur,
Sen olmayinca dönmeyecek ki zaten..
izin verme düsmeme, ayaklarim gitse de sonsuzluga
Biliyorum asla cıkamam, eger düsersem bu kenardan..

I am just next to a cliff with your dazzling love
The gales of your love, taking my feet with my burning body off the ground
The eternity starts a leap ahead
One step back is you and your eyes

Sometimes I get hopeless like anybody else
Sometimes I cry in the bosom of long nights
And sometimes, I dream of hapiness like everybody else
Sometimes I gaze on the horizon with your trembling voice in my ears

My world is you, please dont stop it
Besides, it wont spin if you are not around anyway
Even my feet walk to the eternity, dont let me fall down
I know, I can never come back if i go off this edge

Worry Not Love

 

This past night´s dream frightened me so, my heart.

I was alone, unwell, a stranger in another realm.

It was dark, uninspiringly cold and evilly damp.

I looked up - it was not there - my earth´s warm lamp!

 

A dream it was my dear, nothing more - worry not love.

 

I awakened to your warmth...shall you forever be here...near?

Can I depend on my most treasured affection...your fervor?

When I wake on cold misty mornings, it is you I wish to touch.

It is you that I desire...it is you that I covet and trust so much.

 

I shall be here my dear - worry not love.

 

What should happen to us on such a day?....And on the morrow

Will the sun shine fair? Will nightfall still visit to cool?

Shall you be here, remain here...alongside me...tenderly?

I desire not an endless lonely night...Of this I wish to be free.

 

Have I the eyes of a stranger? - worry not love.

 

Further, kind beloved, what of the next day and daylights thereafter?

Of whom shall I seek, with unstained purity,

Kindliness such as you have unwittingly given

From the shadows that are no longer so common?

  

As the wind never changes color, nor shall I - worry not love.

 

Is it darkness I feel dauntingly looming.....approaching?

Sustain me while my mind dances with such fearful thoughts!

What if you are no longer?...Perish not oh my breath, oh my dear!

Whilst I am alone and uncertain, must I remain in dreaded fear? 

 

Believe not simply for the reason that you cannot see - worry not love. 

 

I have seen and felt such piercing emptiness... lonliness... prior.

Had it occurred in another life...another time...another space?

How shall I cope oh my soul?...Whatever shall I do?

How do I face dwindling sweet tomorrows without you? 

 

Cast your eyes to the East my dear - worry not love. 

 

These are the things I desire dear warmth of mine.

Love in in our hearts....peace in our shrouded souls,

Hope in our lives....and a promise....a solemn promise for a good future.

Without tears, haunting pain, ghostly sadness nor disquieting cumbers.

 

Together.....forever. 

 

You shall have these and more dream of mine - worry not love. 

 

Promise me!..... Will you promise me.....?

  

Remove the veil of fear oh my life, obscure the choking darkness.

These are the words to express what is inevitable my precious...

 

I will be with you should the nights become painfully empty.

I will be with you untill I can no longer hold you softly yet firmly.

I will be here untill I can, no longer without manner, speak.

I will be here untill I can no longer stand from being weak.

 

I shall be here for you always my dear.

I shall be here to wipe away our last tear.

I shall forever be your one and only.

I shall forever be yours and yours solely.

 

I will be here for you love, unitl my last breath.

I will be here for you my thoughts ...Until death

 

And if it must be so....

 

Across the years I shall hover protection over you love.

And whilst gone I shall remain to secure you from above...

  

I promise you.....

I can love you with all that I am

The breathless whisper of a single verse
And loneliness blossoms within my heart
The shimmer of a single dream
And my world is undone
The memory of a single tenderness
And the sting of love reignites my wounds
In the moment when a single tear falls
All hatred becomes a distant blur
I can love you with all that I am
But even this cannot return you to me
From now on I will live as a shadow
Forever in the past...

Beyaz bir güvercin ucurdum yine yüregimden bu sabah sana,
Kanatlarinda umut, ayaklarinda mektubum sakli
Yakalanir her seferinde avci kuslara
Ve saplanir yüregine acimasiz penceler

 

Ben hep bogulmak zorundamiyim?, umutlarimin en derinlerinde
Nefes almadan yasamak ne zormuş sevdigim,
Hadi dog sende, sabahıma ansızın dogan güneş gibi
Yıldızlara degil, baktığım gözlerin olsun bu gece..

 

Beni teselli eden sözlerin olsun
Agladigim uzun geceler askimiza sahit olsun
Yanmis kavrulmus bu yüregim, bu defa seninle huzur bulsun
Hadi gel sevdiğim bu dünya ikimizin olsun..

I released a white dove to fly to you this morning from my heart,

With hope in its wings, and a letter from me hidden at his feet

The birds are caught every time by the hunter

Who buries his merciless claws in their breasts.

 

Must I always drown? In the depths of my hopes.

How hard it is to live without breathing, the one I love,

Come on, arise too, as the sun rises suddenly on my morning

May I not gaze at the stars, but into your eyes this night..

 

May it be your words which comfort me

May the long nights that I cried be witness to our love

May my burned and roasted heart find peace this time with you

Come on, come my love, may this world be ours

MUCH madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye;
Much sense the starkest madness.
’T is the majority
In this, as all, prevails.         5
Assent, and you are sane;
Demur,—you ’re straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain.

The far side of the love

A melancholy sinks in my heart in the nightfalls
as if you slip away from my hands like the sun leaves with tears
while the sky turns into red in the  horizon, pearls slips down from my eyes
my heartbeats echo on my walls that your name is written allover

Tell me the voice of your heart, my wild flower
so that my untamed heart calms down
Tell me, ´I am yours´, ´don´t worry´
so that my waterfall eyes settle

My poems tell the far side of the love
and words becomes ineffective at the times when I tell my feelings
You have such a beautiful heart my love
It calls me, without realizing, from the far side of the love

A melancholy sinks in my heart in the nightfalls,the reason is unknown
If this sunken sun wont come back
Even, if it wont rise on me again
I will be waiting for you nevertheless, somewhere at the far side of the love...

Içimi ısıtan sevdanla kalmışım yine bir başıma
Dünya döner, ben dönerim durmaksızın, nerde dururum bilemem
Düğümlenmiş kelimeler bogazıma şimdi
Dilimden dökülüp mısra olur mu şimdi bilmemem..

 

Hayat dedikleri şey bu yaşadıklarım olsa gerek.
Bazen yıkılır insanın   hayalleri ansızın   altında kalırsın.
Yürümeye çalışan bir çocuk gibi inadına yürür inadına düşersin.
Yürümek için büyümek, mutlu olmak için beklemek lazımmış.

 

Beklemeyi bilmeli insan belki de, gemileri bekleyen limanlar gibi.
Bırakmamalı düşlerinin  peşinden koşmayı.
Başını hep dik tutup inadına savaşmalı.
Yada akışına bırakıp yaşamalı hayatı.

 

Yüreğinin üstüne koy titrek ellerini.
Atan kalbin utansın titrek ellerinin ritmiyle.
Gel haykıralım insanlara aşkımızı ibret alsınlar.
Otur yanıma oyun oynamaya koşan çocukları seyredelim beraber.

 

Korkma bişey olmaz, yolculuğumuz umuda bu defa.
Çok çok yalnız kalırız üç beş gün , onada alışırız.
İtilip kakılıp, yanlış anlaşılmaktan evla değil midir bu?
Baktın çok mu mutlu olduk, üzülme geçmişimizi hatırlar kalbimizi birde ona kırdırırız.

Once more I am left alone with only my love for you which warms my heart

The world turns, I turn constantly, I dont know where I will stop

Words are stuck in my throat now

Düğümlenmiş kelimeler bogazıma şimdi
I dont know whether they will now pour from my tongue as a line of poetry..

 

What I have lived through must be this thing they call life.
Sometimes a person´s dreams are dashed suddenly, crushed

Like a child trying to learn to walk you stubbornly take a few steps and then stubbornly stumble.
You have to grow up to be able to walk, you have to wait to be happy.

 

A person must know how to wait, perhaps, like harbours wait for the boats.
Mustn´t give up, but run after those dreams.
Must hold one´s head up high and stubbornly fight on.
Or give in to the flow and just live life.

 

Put your trembling hands over your heart.
Let your beating heart be ashamed of the rhythm of your trembling hands.
Come let us proclaim it aloud, that our love may be an example to people.
Sit next to me and let´s watch together the children playing games.

 

Don´t be afraid, nothing will go wrong, this time our journey is heading towards hope.
Will we be alone for a few days, we will get used to this too.
Isn´t being pushed too and fro better than being misunderstood?
You see were we so happy, don´t be said, our past stays as a memory in our hearts, and you broke those too.

In ‘My Daddy Sleeps’ I tried to capture what a little girl of six must have

felt upon discovering that her dear beloved Daddy could be dying….

 

On that fateful night, she is then taken to his room by her older sisters….

 

That little girl was my wife…she never got over the memory of that night....

 

She never forgot the loss of her dear daddy´s love.....

 

 

MY DADDY SLEEPS

 

I’m six – It’s late….I’m

Sleeping, dreaming, flying

Waking !.... Waking ?

‘Come quickly ! He hurts.

Daddy….Daddy is shaking !

Badly…..Sadly…..Daddy’ !

 

 

It’s hard to listen to his…

Heart pounding – while…

He cries, sighs…lies….nearby.

‘He wants to say goodbye…’

 

Mommy’s crying….

‘Goodbye’ ?...Why?

 

‘No… my hero, my pride…!

Bring me by his side.

My lovely Daddy, your arms so strong.

Hold me once again !

Oh please’ !

 

‘Oh please ….dear God..’!

 

"Daddy, daddy …get up !

I still need you, want you !

Hold me, lift me, kiss me !

It’s me daddy - your little bee!"

 

‘Please God – where is he going?

Where are you taking him?

Is that You in white?

Is that you so bright?’

 

I hear music…

 

I’m taken from the room.

I must go back…

 

‘He sees me! He needs me..

I want him…!....Need him. ‘

Why is everyone rushing?

Asking….Screaming…..Crying’?

 

It’s daddy…my daddy.

The one who holds me.

The one who tickles me.

The one who laughs with me.

The one who loves me…..

Arms of steel, smile that heals.

 

‘Goodbye’ ?

 

My daddy…my daddy

‘Don’t leave me daddy…..

Come back’…..!

Don’t let go’….!

 

‘He’ looking at me’ !...

 

"My dear little girl…

My precious angel…

Sweet love of my life…

Don’t you cry sweet child…

I’ll never say goodbye"

 

‘Your daddy…..he sleeps’.

 

Whispering……

‘Shhh….My daddy sleeps’….

I wrote ‘The Land of the Cat’ while Catwoman was gone.

There is a tremendous amount of work involved in running

this site, much like running an Engineering Company.

 

Keep in mind classmates, I do not know a thing about her.

 

Before this, I’ve never had discourse with her about

anything or anyone. I’ve never gone to her at all and

I probably never will ……..but…

I sincerely admire people with vision and a fearless spirit.

 

One can certainly appreciate entrepreneurship in those

sequined few that compel things to happen, and make

things shine.

 

I felt she was owed something from me anyway.

 

This is for her…….and us.....

 

THE LAND OF THE CAT…….

A distant message from a lurid time ?

A nocturnal overseer using virulent rhyme ?

A friend once said, ‘integrity never deceives’, so

Who is this Mistress, who is usually bright and spunky.

Also learned, rarely condescending, yet speaks frankly?

 

She’s quick to differ, sometimes dicey, yet offers much.

Our Cat gives lectures without a solitary touch.

Many of you know her well, most know her not.

She claims “I’m honest, apt, opined, and extremely fair”.

But some staunchly erudite in TC say “au contraire”!

 

Still in all, despite her peeves, dear class we must agree.

She is not evil, indolent, spiteful and ne’er batty,

No photo of her yet, though I think she’s artful.

Not to waste her efforts, words, hard work and sweat.

Or your time might well be spent in mindless bare neglect.

 

The Cat has followers - some with good sense some with bad.

She’ll make you think or laugh and may even get you mad.

Mind you friends, I know her not – wrote to her ne’er

So as for me, dear classmates, I beg to differ.

Anger comes strictly from within so please don’t bicker.

 

She has favorites, replete in sycophants and enemies.

But don’t we all have foes, and pockets full of buddies?

She’s really quite harmless dears and all.

By threatening some and scurrying others indiscreetly.

Beware classmates, for some she’ll even say “I’LL PRESS DELETE! “

 

She’s quick to answer, offer, seek out and repair

A spite, bad call or simply something quite unfair.

Her subtle nuances expose her innate ways, still….

Cat is lofty, sometimes amusing, at times a little enervating.

One never knows which one of you she may be detonating!

 

We have quite a scattering of fish in our TC aquarium

A motley crew indeed and the focus of this short centrum

Gratefully, some are emphatically bright I joyfully declare…

We’ve Trudy, calip, Elisabeth, Ddreamer, porto, and liberated Libralady.

Topped with Deli_kizin, Geniuda, sonunda, Canli and dear sophie.

 

The guys include more subtle and some sensible souls.

They are a good bunch really, so to them I shall extol.

Keep in mind I know not many here in class but still….

There’s thehandsom one who seems to be a fav of all.

Clever musicman SuiGeneris, the one who’s songs enthrall.

 

The dearly departed include the aenigmatic wonder

Twice told tales on her and feme_fatal for they’ve become asunder.

One even changed her name to aenigmamagdawhatthethunder?

Contributing marvels I will call MarioninT and stately Roswitha.

Also witty peacetrain, teaschip, and the zealous alameda.

 

Summa cum laude patriots in all, undividedly include:

Ayla, Slavica, Mrx67, erdinc, my dear Seker I shan’t preclude.

With regret, some have left, I’ve left some out, still we have

All those above and more my dear Cat, indeed we must applaud.

 

Your faithful banter including men is kindly taken.

A good decree, for some have genuinely been mistaken.

We are fathers, husbands, brothers, granddads, uncles even sons.

Like women, men have faults but own no paper hearts.

Be it Turkish, British, American, Asian, Latin, Arab or Dutch.

We’re all in this together, like it none or like it much.

Our differences, likes, dislikes and habits my dear Cat

All contribute to who we are and how we live dear friend

So aspirations, passions, hopes and dreams dutifully transcend.

 

Remember class, with courage, laughter, love, a little pain

Cat is really somewhat cool and quite innocuous - so once again,

I’ll ask the obvious…

Who is this stealthy mistress both bright and spunky,

Also learned, active, and fills space quite brightly?

 

It’s none other than our very own ‘MEOW’.

To the Cat, I chant  “Cheers my Felis Catus” with raised brows!

“Do not chase rats or mice or even ghosts Acquaint of Mine….!

Above that you are Catwoman, so dear today I’ll say…..

Thank you most kindly - for inviting us to your bright chalet…..

 

Purrrrrrr…..You are a Titan canim……

Quoting eiddie

I wrote ‘The Land of the Cat’ while Catwoman was gone.

There is a tremendous amount of work involved in running

this site, much like running an Engineering Company.

 

Keep in mind classmates, I do not know a thing about her.

 

Before this, I’ve never had discourse with her about

anything or anyone. I’ve never gone to her at all and

I probably never will ……..but…

I sincerely admire people with vision and a fearless spirit.

 

One can certainly appreciate entrepreneurship in those

sequined few that compel things to happen, and make

things shine.

 

I felt she was owed something from me anyway.

 

This is for her…….and us.....

 

THE LAND OF THE CAT…….

 

A distant message from a lurid time ?

A nocturnal overseer using virulent rhyme ?

A friend once said, ‘integrity never deceives’, so

Who is this Mistress, who is usually bright and spunky.

Also learned, rarely condescending, yet speaks frankly?

 

She’s quick to differ, sometimes dicey, yet offers much.

Our Cat gives lectures without a solitary touch.

Many of you know her well, most know her not.

She claims “I’m honest, apt, opined, and extremely fair”.

But some staunchly erudite in TC say “au contraire”!

 

Still in all, despite her peeves, dear class we must agree.

She is not evil, indolent, spiteful and ne’er batty,

No photo of her yet, though I think she’s artful.

Not to waste her efforts, words, hard work and sweat.

Or your time might well be spent in mindless bare neglect.

 

The Cat has followers - some with good sense some with bad.

She’ll make you think or laugh and may even get you mad.

Mind you friends, I know her not – wrote to her ne’er

So as for me, dear classmates, I beg to differ.

Anger comes strictly from within so please don’t bicker.

 

She has favorites, replete in sycophants and enemies.

But don’t we all have foes, and pockets full of buddies?

She’s really quite harmless dears and all.

By threatening some and scurrying others indiscreetly.

Beware classmates, for some she’ll even say “I’LL PRESS DELETE! “

 

She’s quick to answer, offer, seek out and repair

A spite, bad call or simply something quite unfair.

Her subtle nuances expose her innate ways, still….

Cat is lofty, sometimes amusing, at times a little enervating.

One never knows which one of you she may be detonating!

 

We have quite a scattering of fish in our TC aquarium

A motley crew indeed and the focus of this short centrum

Gratefully, some are emphatically bright I joyfully declare…

We’ve Trudy, calip’, Elisabeth, Ddreamer, porto, and liberated Libralady.

Topped with Deli_kizin, Geniuda, sonunda, Canli and dear sophie.

 

The guys include more subtle and some sensible souls.

They are a good bunch really, so to them I shall extol.

Keep in mind I know not many here in class but still….

There’s thehandsom one who seems to be a fav of all.

Clever musicman SuiGeneris, the one who’s songs enthrall.

 

The dearly departed include the aenigmatic wonder

Twice told tales on her and feme_fatal for they’ve become asunder.

One even changed her name to aenigmamagdawhatthethunder?

Contributing marvels I will call MarioninT and stately Roswitha.

Also witty peacetrain, teaschip, gg and the zealous alameda.

What am I telling you, listen to me
What I am telling is the picture of what I have in my heart
My voice should not make you frightened
I become a child  and cry quietly behind you

Do not think they are just poems, they are not meant to be
Flowing  after a dream, the words united and become yours
It is 4 am, my eyes are not closing while your reflection is infront of me
A heart in agony with loneliness is shouting out, what is it saying, listen to it..
I love you....

I am with you tonight, just you and me,
Our hands meet, before our lips
This excitement that cannot be described envelopes our bodies

Trembling, frightened, passionate, with longing...
 

I am with you tonight, just you and me,
I am explaining to you the tales of my childhood

From time to time I plunge into your eyes

I come too later when you kiss me.

 

I am with you tonight, just you and me,
The muse that inspires me is asleep in my arms *

Calling her beautiful just doesn´t do my woman justice,

Don´t you dare wake Cenk up, he doesn´t want to wake from this dream ...

The lost words

 

Tell me the words which I searched for and couldn´t find

Make a few sentences that have been hidden

Let us sing those forgotten songs once more in a deep embrace

May this falling rain of love accompany us from our cheeks.

 

I hear your voice from far away

Shout that you love me, in this autumn

It is my hopes that are keeping me on my feet

I dream of living with you in heaven

 

You are a miracle given to me by fate

You suddenly came and entered my world,

You held my hands, so tightly

You sealed my heart with your eyes,

 

I have a heart that doesn´t freeze in the snow

It burns with flames,
And my tears? These things that seep from my eyes

Or is it your love, if only you would believe for a moment..

I wrote ‘ I Danced With a Stranger ‘ a few

months ago…during a very dark time

in my life…..

 

Love can come in the strangest of places

and at the strangest of times…

 

It may begin with a look, a kind word, a lending

hand…a lonely night…

 

Or even ... a knock at the door…

 

It may uncover something so beautiful…

…sometimes lasting a lifetime …….yet…

 

At other times, lasting for just a moment…

 

Love should be everything or not at all…

 

 

I Danced With a Stranger

 

Stars were out the night the music called

I was dressed and honored and she was dolled.

Our breaths taken away, the world was left astray…

All of a sudden the glabrous notes began to climb.

Her hand in mine, our hips began their subtle rhyme.

 

My mind wandering as if a peregrine bird,

Yet the music kept our embraced bodies blurred.

Hypnotizing melodies dancing ‘round the room.

Two cheeks touching, ten fingers twinning.

With fleeting feet, our smiling lips began aligning.

 

Thoughts of yesteryear softly fleeting by.

Youth revisiting this night we could not deny.

Cool night, open doors, jasmine in the air.

Still, despite the magic, our tempo or descry

Love and laughter, silliness and tears came by.

 

Stranger in my midst and I in hers?

Hands in the air, and on each others hips?

Who was I dancing with that tender night?

Black shorts and the face of a queen.

Is this for real or had it been just a dream?

 

The same for this royal girl of mine

Had she been dancing with the prince of rhyme?

I was taken, I was lost, I was captured, enraptured.

Her scent took me to a places yet unseen, unheard

Still, most of me that girl had just bestirred.

 

What had been different on that night of fate?

Had our thoughts found each other more ornate?

Had our scents recaptured past innocence?

I saw a stranger dancing on air as if on a cloud.

My breath, my heart, my soul had cried aloud!

 

‘Where have you been my dear sweet lady?

For I’ve been looking and searching daily.

Where did you go for oh so very long?

Had I been a stranger to you as well?

You my dear, no longer shall my heart expel’.

 

That night of love, tenderness and cohesion

Shall forever be remembered for no reason.

For this woman had been with me once before.

Her eyes were like no other or none better.

This nights’ pleasure was our treasure.

 

I flickered, I thought, and wondered, where?

A beauty such as this I could never have ensnared.

Brown eyes, blonde hair, the sweetest cherry lips.

As the memories came crawling back again

Cross my heart I had remembered when!

 

Though the crimsoned night had not yet ended

Her voice, her eyes indeed had not pretended.

Beads of perspiration glistened with excitement.

Lips like magnets, hands like blankets, seeking, finding.

Bodies pushing, pressing, twirling, glowing…. 

 

She’d come back on this one clear night of passion.

One night, one hour or maybe just one session.

Perhaps she will return again… and I for her.

For she had been the only one I had adored.

My precious wife, my friend, my lover, my amour…..

A small stone slab

 

Every evening in front of your window,

Together with the rustling leaves

On top of a small stone slab

I sit and wait with my hopes

 

Whenever you look out from your window

Your eyes fill with tears, like my eyes do,

When chosing your star in the night-sky

Another leaf tires of holding on and falls silently..

 

Maybe you can´t see the small stone slab, the one on which I am sitting

You cannot count the leaves falling from that huge plane tree

When the wheel of fortune stops turning, this life ends,

That´s the time when I will get up from this small stone slab and leave..

Bilirmisin ne karlar erittim kalbimde?
Ne fýrtýnalar koptu da batmadým,
Ne yaðmurlar yaðdý boðulmadým.

 

Rüyalar gördüm bazen aðlamaklý yalnýzlýðýmý paylaþan
Uyandým sen vardýn karþýmda ellerimi tutan
Kaldýrýmlar eþlik etti bazen adýmlarýma
Bazen de martýlar yol gösterdi bedenime senle dolup taþan

 

Uykusuz gecelerde gülüþlerimizi 
Anlattýðým hikayeleri sabýrla dinlemeni hatýrlarým,
Bilirim ki mutluyum, bilirim ki seninleyim
Bundan baþka daha ne isterim?

Strange, the things we remember...

 

When in fifth grade I liked a girl named

Catherine. She had red hair and pretty freckles.

 

One day after school she was being teased

about those freckles by a group of boy & girls. 

 

I wanted to come to her aid - I felt badly for not

doing so.

 

For a second I watched from a distance, then I  left.

 

Memories - they really are strange aren´t they?

 

I should have stood up for you Catherine...

 

This is for you...

 

FRECKLES

I touch them in the morning.

I see them in the daylight.

In the full of the moon they glimmer.

They shine in the darkest of nights.

Your freckles love.

They speak with tender urgent longing.

Pain, joy, laughter, fears, tears.

 

Your precious dots are subtle reflections.

Each one a personality

Each one an intrigue.

I touch one, then another, then,

Another...

Each one a mystery.

They speak truths.

 

I love your freckles.

I would be here with you

A thousand years if I could

But just taste one at a time.

A touch of my tongue

From top to bottom - front and back.

One at a time - my vanguard.

 

Odd.

Freckles are unsightly to most.

Freckles are unwanted by all.

‘Why must I have them?’ I hear.

Freckles have feelings, they show emotion.

Touch them as I do, see them as I do.

You’ll fall in love.

 

‘Shhh‘, they say to me.

‘She loves you’, they confess.

Gently they utter their feelings.

I receive secrets from them love.

They speak of your esoteric passion.

I feel their heat, their beating.....longing.

I love them...

 

Your freckles are beautiful.

They radiate melodies.

They gyrate and show me portraits.

They expose their colors to me.

I see them naked.

Their pinks, reds, browns, blues...their muse.

Each freckle a color, each color a story, a feeling.

 

Your freckles have eyes.

Their characters have ribbons in them.

Their aura stimulates me.

Sweet. Senuous...salty...Erotic

I love your freckles love.

As you age, you’ll win more.

I can hardly wait...

 

A thousand years to to adore...

My wish is to not complicate things

Passions may change as life flows. But there is

always one passion that is rooted deep

inside of each of us.

 

You know what it is.

 

Use it to write, paint, play, create.

 

Use it to breathe...

 

It’s a gift that each of us have been

given. Find it , and you will discover

that it may take you to unbelievable sights.......

Why should it be your last poem eiddie?  Cenk has explained that this thread is for all poets.  It´s nice to see the mix of different contributions.  Cenk and yourself add a little culture all of your own.  You both have a great talent, that shouldn´t be hidden.

 

I sincerely hope that wasn´t your last poem.  Have you ever thought of publishing? You should.

How about a poem about Peter and Gordon ?  Or at least the music of your youth?  I know that would involve casting your mind back a very long way, but I´m sure you have a good memory {#lang_emotions_lol_fast}

Quoting eiddie

I wrote ‘The Land of the Cat’ while Catwoman was gone.

There is a tremendous amount of work involved in running

this site, much like running an Engineering Company.

 

Keep in mind classmates, I do not know a thing about her.

 

Before this, I’ve never had discourse with her about

anything or anyone. I’ve never gone to her at all and

I probably never will ……..but…

I sincerely admire people with vision and a fearless spirit.

 

One can certainly appreciate entrepreneurship in those

sequined few that compel things to happen, and make

things shine.

 

I felt she was owed something from me anyway.

 

This is for her…….and us.....

 

THE LAND OF THE CAT…….

 

A distant message from a lurid time ?

A nocturnal overseer using virulent rhyme ?

A friend once said, ‘integrity never deceives’, so

Who is this Mistress, who is usually bright and spunky.

Also learned, rarely condescending, yet speaks frankly?

 

She’s quick to differ, sometimes dicey, yet offers much.

Our Cat gives lectures without a solitary touch.

Many of you know her well, most know her not.

She claims “I’m honest, apt, opined, and extremely fair”.

But some staunchly erudite in TC say “au contraire”!

 

Still in all, despite her peeves, dear class we must agree.

She is not evil, indolent, spiteful and ne’er batty,

No photo of her yet, though I think she’s artful.

Not to waste her efforts, words, hard work and sweat.

Or your time might well be spent in mindless bare neglect.

 

The Cat has followers - some with good sense some with bad.

She’ll make you think or laugh and may even get you mad.

Mind you friends, I know her not – wrote to her ne’er

So as for me, dear classmates, I beg to differ.

Anger comes strictly from within so please don’t bicker.

 

She has favorites, replete in sycophants and enemies.

But don’t we all have foes, and pockets full of buddies?

She’s really quite harmless dears and all.

By threatening some and scurrying others indiscreetly.

Beware classmates, for some she’ll even say “I’LL PRESS DELETE! “

 

She’s quick to answer, offer, seek out and repair

A spite, bad call or simply something quite unfair.

Her subtle nuances expose her innate ways, still….

Cat is lofty, sometimes amusing, at times a little enervating.

One never knows which one of you she may be detonating!

 

We have quite a scattering of fish in our TC aquarium

A motley crew indeed and the focus of this short centrum

Gratefully, some are emphatically bright I joyfully declare…

We’ve Trudy, calip, Elisabeth, Ddreamer, porto, and liberated Libralady.

Topped with Deli_kizin, Geniuda, sonunda, Canli and dear sophie.

 

The guys include more subtle and some sensible souls.

They are a good bunch really, so to them I shall extol.

Keep in mind I know not many here in class but still….

There’s thehandsom one who seems to be a fav of all.

Clever musicman SuiGeneris, the one who’s songs enthrall.

 

The dearly departed include the aenigmatic wonder

Twice told tales on her and feme_fatal for they’ve become asunder.

One even changed her name to aenigmamagdawhatthethunder?

Contributing marvels I will call MarioninT and stately Roswitha.

Also witty peacetrain, teaschip and the zealous alameda.

 

Summa cum laude patriots in all, undividedly include:

Ayla, Slavica, Mrx67, erdinc, my dear Seker I shan’t preclude.

With regret, some have left, I’ve left some out, still we have

Keith, kurtlovesgrunge, ctrix, mltm, ladyn’red and fearless leader bod.

All those above and more my dear Cat, indeed we must applaud.

 

Your faithful banter including men is kindly taken.

A good decree, for some have genuinely been mistaken.

A happy memory for many I am sure, for, my dear lady

We are fathers, husbands, brothers, granddads, uncles even sons.

All of which contribute to succeeding generations.

 

Like women, men have faults but own no paper hearts.

We’ve ambitions, feelings, but all too soon we build ramparts.

Perhaps because we quickly shoulder blame for any failures, so…..

I shan’t waste my time on that Webmaster friend of mine…..

For, like women, men are kind, politely cool and bright, so I’ll streamline……

 

Be it Turkish, British, American, Asian, Latin, Arab or Dutch.

We’re all in this together, like it none or like it much.

Our differences, likes, dislikes and habits my dear Cat

All contribute to who we are and how we live dear friend

So aspirations, passions, hopes and dreams dutifully transcend.

 

Remember class, with courage, laughter, love, a little pain

Cat is really somewhat cool and quite innocuous - so once again,

I’ll ask the obvious…

Who is this stealthy mistress both bright and spunky,

Also learned, active, and fills space quite brightly?

 

It’s none other than our very own ‘MEOW’.

To the Cat, I chant  “Cheers my Felis Catus” with raised brows!

“Do not chase rats or mice or even ghosts Acquaint of Mine….!

Above that you are Catwoman, so dear today I’ll say…..

Thank you most kindly - for inviting us to your bright chalet…..

 

Purrrrrrr…..You are a Titan canim……

A good memory I do not have peacetrain.....but when I give a listen to " I Go to Pieces"

it does wonders for my recollection.....I´ve loved that song forever.....

( yes, that is a long time ).

 

Remember peacetrain....."they really are strange....our memories" .....

 

You´re very kind ... I´m taken by your thoughts...and wish the best for all of us.

 

Thank you as well teaschip... I had fun with ´Land of the Cat´ for our catwoman...

I am glad you liked it.......even the cat liked it.....

I know
As if the fires in me are reflecting on my face,
Do you know how much snow melted away in my heart
How i have not sunk after such storms
And have not got drowned after such rains

I had many tearful dreams sharing my solitude sometimes
When I woke up, you were with me, holding my hands
Sometimes, pavements were the only companion for my steps
And sometimes, seagulls led my body that is full of you

I remember our laughter in sleepless nights
And you patiently listening stories I was telling you
I know that I am happy, I know that I am with you
What else could I wish more?

If you could feel the warmth of my heart in your hands

As my eyes explain to you how much I love you

Oh, if only you could but hear it..

Sends you through my veins every second

You are always here, look, right here

I put it here on your hand once more, oh if only you could feel it.

Thousand kisses deep- Leonard Cohen

 

You came to me this morning
And you handled me like meat.
You´d have to live alone to know
How good that feels, how sweet.
My mirror twin, my next of kin,
I´d know you in my sleep.
And who but you would take me in
A thousand kisses deep?

 

I loved you when you opened
Like a lily to the heat.
I´m just another snowman
Standing in the rain and sleet,
Who loved you with his frozen love
His second-hand physique -
With all he is, and all he was

A thousand kisses deep.

 

..

i´m good at love i´m good at hate
it´s inbetween i freeze
Been working out-but it´s to late
it´s been to late for years
but you look fine you really do
the pride of Boogie street
Somebody must have died for you
a thousand kisses deep

..

Closing Time


I loved you for your beauty
But that doesn’t make a fool of me
You were in it for your beauty too
I loved you for your body
There’s a voice that sounds like God to me
Declaring that your body’s really you

I loved you when our love was blessed
And I love you now there’s nothing left
But sorrow and a sense of overtime
And I miss you since the place got wrecked
By the winds of change and the weeds of sex
Looks like freedom but it feels like death
It something in betwen, I guess

It’s closing time

There is no happy love

 

 

Man never truly possesses anything

Neither his strength, nor his weakness, nor his heart

And when he opens his arms

His shadow is that of a cross

And when he tries to embrace happiness

He crushes it

His life is a strange and painful divorce

 

There is no happy love

 

His life resembles those soulless soldiers

Who have been groomed for a different fate

Why should they rise in the morning

When nighttime finds them disarmed, uncertain

Say these words and hold back your tears

 

There is no happy love

 

My beautiful love, my dear love, my torn heart

I carry you in me like a wounded bird

Those who unknowingly watch us walk by

Repeat after me my words and sigh

They have already died in your bright eyes

 

There is no happy love

 

By the time we learn to live

It´s already too late

Our hearts cry in unison at night

It takes many a misfortune for the simplest song

Many regrets to pay for a thrill 

Many a tear for a guitar´s melody

 

There is no happy love

 

There is no love which is not pain

There is no love which does not bruise

There is no love which does not fade

And none that is greater than your love for your country

There is no love which does not live from tears

 

There is no happy love

But it is our own love

Beloved

It´s colder than before
The seasons took all they had come for
Now winter dances here
It seems so fitting don´t you think?
Dress the ground in white
And grey

It´s so quiet i can hear
My thoughts touching every second i spent
Waiting for you
Circumstances affords me
No second chance
To tell you
How much i´ve missed you

My beloved do you know
When the warm wind comes again
Another year will start to pass
And please don´t ask me why i´m here
Something deeper brought me
Than a need to remember

We were once young and blessed with wings
No heights could keeps us from their reach
No sacred place we did not soar
Still greater things burned within us
I don´t regret the choices that i´ve made
I know you feel the same

My beloved do you know
How many times i stared at clouds
Thinking that i saw you there
These are feelings that do not pass so easily
I can´t forget what we claimed was ours

Moments lost though time remains
I am still proud of what we were
No pain remains
No feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that i might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains
No feeling
Eternity awaits

Moments lost though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains
No feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that i might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains
No feeling

Eternity awaits

Orders shouted in a strange guttural tongue resounded along the walls of the houses, which seemed dead and deserted, while, behind the closed shutters, eyes watched the conquerors, who, by right of war, were now masters of the city and of the lives and fortunes of its people.

In their darkened ruins the inhabitants have given way to the same feeling of panic which is aroused by natural cataclysms - those devastating upheavals of the Earth, against which wisdom and strength alike are of no avail.

Though the same feeling is experienced wherever the established order of things is upset, when security ceases to exist, when all that was previously protected by the laws of man and nature is suddenly placed at the mercy of brutal, unreasoning force.

The earthquake, burying a whole people beneath the ruins of their houses; the river in spate, sweeping away the bodies of drowned peasants, together with the carcasses of cattle and rafters torn from roofs; and the victorious army slaughtering all who resist, making prisoners of the rest, looting by right of the sword, and thanking their god to the sound of cannon.

All these are terrifying scourges which undermine all our belief in eternal justice and all the trust we have been taught to place in divine protection and human reason.

While having you, to live with you in your absence is like

Being suffocated slowly with each breath

Do you know how many pebbles there are in this beach, scattered with your love?

Can you count them all, one by one patiently?

Dont say it is impossible, it does not matter if you can not count either

Even being suffocated with each breath is so lovely

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be
shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.
Think big anyway.
What you spend years building may
be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack if you help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have
and you might get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you´ve got anyway.

Kaç zamandýr karlarla kaplý yüregim

Our World

 

I do wait for the time when our eyes reunite
Like snow waiting for the spring
To melt into water and give life to nature
My heart is covered by the snow for a long time
Come now, hold my hands such as sun, such as spring

We have created a distinct world in our hearts
A world that is always spring, always warm
Our flowers have never faded and they never will
Because it was never autumn and it never will

Dont look upset, dont make the autumn happy
It should not be full of hopes, it can not make this love fade
We watered these roses in our hearts with our tears
Look my love, how much time has passed
And they are still smelling of YOU..

My muse

 

You whisper into my ear

Sweet things that make me weak

You bury your head in my neck,

Engulf your face with my hair

Then you look into my eyes

With your mysterious provocative gaze,

Causing me to touch your skin 

To feel the warmth of your body,

Caressing, embracing

Then you kiss me...

As I feel your wet eager lips 

Our hungry tongues indulging in their craving,

To feel the poison...

Of your blood boiling throughout your soul

Sending electrifying emotions

Stimulating pure intoxication,

As your hands flows over me;

Touching every curve and every part of me...

It seems I move my .... apart automatically,

As you lift me on the mystical ride

While my body you know I will guide,

The flames of passion, desire and love

Is taking control over us,

You put your hands in my breast,

As I feel a sensation so exciting,

When you kiss my n..... with your eager lips

Every time you do that,

It gets more and more fulfilling

Let me feel those sensations,

As I feel you deep inside me

Feeling a rage so incredible to resist,

As all I want is to let go 

Of all this love I have in store,

You got me twisting...

Soaking ...,

I feel you as you are pausing deep inside me

And then I feel you .... out and .... back in,

I moan from pure delight and ecstasy,

I get the shivers,

But... 

Is from the fire lit inside my being

My body is slippery everywhere,

I scream...

Please, harder and harder,

I call out your name...

Crying out in anguished bliss

A slight sigh...

´´A gasp for air´´

This fire is so immense

So full of energy and heat,

Even water could not quench

This fire inside of me,

Burning there endlessly,

You make my erotic senses rise,

While you take me higher and higher 

Than I have ever been

 

That I just can´t get enough

Because without you and your love,

There would not be a hot sexual taste in me.


I just came across this poem

Eyes betray the soul and bear it´s thinking.
Beyond words they say so many things to me.
A stranger here reborn it seems
awaking wonders deep in me.
If nothing´s ventured nothing´s gained
so I must seize the day.

And fighting time so hard I pray
that this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.
Through my eyes stare into me.
I bear my heart for all to see.
With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still.

It wasn´t you it wasn´t me it wasn´t anyone.
It was a day so long awaited and a chance to be as me.
I let the wind run through my hands
as I turned to walk away.
In distant days I long to sense it all so clear.

And fighting time so hard I pray
that this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.
Through my eyes stare into me.
I bear my heart for all to see.
With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still.
And fighting time so much I ask.
I will this morning last forever.
Though seasons change and things come to pass
remain inside of me.
And fighting time so hard I pray
that this moment lasts forever.
and will the world stay standing still at least for me.

I had no faith before that day in any vow or deed.
Days followed days and years were meaningless.
Despite the wisdom of defeat
I bore my heart for all to see the wonders I´d seen.

At first light lay proud foundations.
Sense the greatness that before you unfolds.
Seek no more for hollow answers.
Answers that lay within you all along.
Farewell to dawns seen through saddened eyes.
Farewell to pasts to sorrows chained.
Forget your fears and want no more.
You will be strong and want no more.
You´ll be adored. You will have everything.
You will be strong and want no more.
Forget your fears. You will have everything.
And want no more.

I have given my heart to you

 

When I wake up in the mornings, the frost falls on me

Being without you feels like ice cold

I shake myself and get up from my dream filled bed

I get scared, you will have gone if I take my head off my pillow

 

My heart is in your palms my love, I have given it to you

So you can feel  every single pulse in my life

Though the fate is trying to break it, hold my heart firmly

Hold it tight, so  Cenk can live a bit longer

Gets excited when it hears your voice

Its beating is like an orchestra, plays its songs for you 

With every pulse, your name is reverberated in my vessels

It becomes a fire some days and water in others

yesterday I wrote poems just as today
I dispense kisses my kisses have become
cheaper poems grow more and more scarce
poems I now write only
when the flower´s color hurts me
or when a bat
flying through the night
touches my cheek
I kiss in every season
I kiss those randomly met
students doctors poets
they then write poems about it
just as I dispense kisses
by handfuls
carelessly
rashly

You can read minds Birdie, Bursa is one of my fav too,

 

"Boorish syllogism"

You´ll get nothing beautiful for free
the sunset is free
so it´s not beautiful
but to puke in a prima sorta restaurant
you have to pay for the booze

ergo
a loo in a nighclub is beautiful
and sunset isn´t

I´ll tell you it´s all crap

I have seen a sunset
and a loo in a nightclub

I see no particular difference

from Guayabero-a book of tea by Piotr Madej

Polish university lecturer,English literature translator.. a poet,fascinating man

Ajah learns to walk

inside my head

with flowers bloom

and no one understands the the crazy wind speaks

in her hair

so blonde

a gauze butterfly basks in the sun

beetroot leaves wave

i think of the word chaos

and conclude we dance

the undancing dance

Ajah loves the summer breeze

and lips wet with butter

Every dawn she is ready

to build castles made of sands

in her eyes i drown

and Life whispers secrets to me

Thankful for every gesture

I witness the growth of Ajah

 

He died....in May last year being only 35..leaving Ajah and his posthumus child..sad,isn´t it

A dark and narrow road with high walls

A door opening to eternity and beyond, it is you

An eye dazzling radiance

Your warmth is coming from far away like the sun

 

Sometimes, I run , I walked and I got tired 

It was your eyes enlightened my soul when lost in darkness

In fact, it was difficult to endure without your hands in mine

A hope, moving away when it is closer

A door opening to euphoria, to your love and beyond, it is you

Special are the days when I think of you
Special are the nights when you´re in my dreams

Oh the pain...the longing
to be touched by you...Kissed by you

I wake up from a dream
To reach out but you´re not there

It wasn´t at all what it seemed
I only long to have you here
to see you...feel you...TASTE you

I want you to be with me...inside of me

To give you all the love you´re due
To show you what true lover can really be

You´re already in my heart...in my soul
it took you to make me completely whole.

Thank you, it is a beautiful poem.

Makes you fill limitless and ... universal, in a way to speak.

 

I find myself lately looking up classical poets and writers. Somehow i long for sistematic, rules in composing. A formality which adds to the content. It is like adding manners to human attitude, sort of, on a profan point of view...

If I could look to the future
I know what I want to see
You and I standing there,
that it is meant to be.
The soft touch of your fingers,
as they slowly intertwine,
our hands clasped together,
yours within mine.
Our hands holding each other,
as we walk in the park.
You draw closer to me
as it gets dark.
Your arm goes over my shoulder,
I claim your jacket too.
Anything that I have,
now belongs to you.
The feelings I get,
as I gaze into your eyes,
the brown reflections I see,
have me mesmerized.
You are infinite food,
for my starving heart,
I watch part of it die,
each time we part.
But there you will remain
until it beats no more.
Your love has awakened,
things I´d never felt before.
Your smile tells me,
the blackness will subside.
I must submit myself again,
to the resignation that it hurts to live.
If I could only look to the future,
and know what to do or say.
Then I can enjoy that walk with you,
on that very special day.
That walk in the park,
each others hand we are holding.
And so much more than that,
before, after, and during.
Until that day may come,
I will spend each night,
asking for guidance in what to say,
doing what I hope is right.
So that we may be together,
if that is how it is meant to be.
And our love will last forever,
until the end of eternity

Reason For My Poetry (You)...,


You’re the reason, of my poetry
The true meaning behind words
True love developing it’s wings
Reaching high beyond the birds.


I love you for who you truly are
For nothing less, For only more
Love, A ocean of true emotions
Joined together from it’s shores.


You’re the inspiration to poetry
Even though love, goes beyond
The distance words can explain
In a poem, prose, or even songs.


I love you every step of the way
For who you’ve made me today
The love I feel, within my heart
No words cannot express to say.

 I would really appreciate it very much if anyone can help in the Turkish translation of the following poem.

 

Askim In My Heart

 

  

After that long road of darkness

And strong feeling of emptiness

I did not expect to see light

To come, glow, and shimmer so bright.

 

I never imagined to meet

You, who’s very sweet and discrete,

With qualities so endearing

Truly, you are fascinating.

 

I can say that you’re such a clown

You’re funny, never let me down

You always brighten up my day,

Even if you are miles away.

 

You captured my heart so quickly

It happened unexpectedly

Magic is how I describe it

Sparks and colors came bit by bit.

 

I’m happy when I think of you

More so whenever I see you

Your smile is like a disease

When inflicted, I smile with ease.

 

You have changed my life since we met

Not a moment I will regret

With you, each second is heaven

For all the time that you´ve given.

 

Askim, if this is just a dream,

To wake up would make things so grim

I’d rather live in fantasy,

To be with you in ecstasy.

As the leaves fall from the trees
I remember when they were breaking into bud
when the leaves burst into life
Under the summer sun they bathed
 
Suddenly the summer has gone
and sun is no longer so warm
the leaves crave for the life gone
but their life is coming to an end
 
So do they have to wait til the spring
before they can burst into life
once again, bathe in the midday sun
and cherish the short time they have

When we Two Parted

When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted,
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
Sank chill on my brow—
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame:
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o´er me—
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well:—
Long, long shall I rue thee
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met—
In silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?—
With silence and tears

I found this and thought how beautifully written it is.

Shadows

 

I am running away from shadows now

I dont want to be in dark any more

There are still afew light places in front of me

They are  not even warmed up by the sun in this winter day

 

An old song is playing right now in the radio

It has been years not hearing it

I now realize better

how beautiful the lyrics are 

 

A peom or thousands of them, a song or thousands songs

which one of them can explain what I want to say?

Please dont let anybody  

Even if they tell how much they want you

 

Sometimes, the days get dark with the clouds

A shining drop flows down my my cheek

Emotions do not stay in my heart like a calm sea

One more shining drop flows down my cheek like a rainfall

 

Though shadows fallow me when the sun goes down

I am trying to escape with all my power

It is not the sun anymore, lightining my world 

That magnificent gleam, in your eyes looking at me

Another day has past,
my feelings are still the same.
It has been a while,
since I´ve said your sweet name.

Why is it like this?
What did I do wrong?
When will these feelings end?
I´ve waited far too long.

My thoughts are fading,
the answers I can´t find.
Oh! how can I get,
you out of my mind?

The words are running out,
there´s nothing else to do.
But to wait and to hope,
that I´ll get over you.

Can my heart move on,
without another tear?
Will my emotions heal,
if you come near.

If these feelings die,
as it flows to the stream.
Will I ever wake up,
from this endless dream?

I can´t begin to tell you the things I want to do.
First we can dim the lights and get closer.....
No, wait, that´s too fast, let´s go back
and move a little slower.
 
I´ll kiss your lips that are so soft and sweet,
then move on to your cheek that´s so smooth and unique.
Then I´ll move right along that little ear of yours...
Whoa... my, my... let me move along your chest...
Uh, oh I missed a spot, let me move back up to the neck
As I move my tongue around and around 
you start to feel it as I go down slowly
and as I kiss your chest your hands go up
...but I´m not finished yet....
I go further down towards your navel... 
As I move down past your waist line I begin to kiss.... 
 
Oh, I just wake up to realize it´s a dream !
A passionate dream fueled by my deep love for you..........
Rather a nice poem {#lang_emotions_bigsmile}

Another day has past,
my feelings are still the same.
It has been a while,
since I´ve said your sweet name.

Why is it like this?
What did I do wrong?
When will these feelings end?
I´ve waited far too long.

My thoughts are fading,
the answers I can´t find.
Oh! how can I get,
you out of my mind?

The words are running out,
there´s nothing else to do.
But to wait and to hope,
that I´ll get over you.

Can my heart move on,
without another tear?
Will my emotions heal,
if you come near.

If these feelings die,
as it flows to the stream.
Will I ever wake up,
from this endless dream?

 Agreed. 

A link isn´t necessary, just simply add the name of the poet.  Some posters write their own poetry here and some quote their favourites, it´s nice to know which is which.

 Yes also agree in fairness to the poet, the author should be cited, and I agree, it is nice know if someone has written it themselves, as Cybernetics does.

Sometimes I ponder about what will come next
Where will my life turn when it seems to stall?
When is the next time I will smile again?
and how will I get up, should I fall?

Happiness fills me with a touch of sadness.
By that I mean I know it can´t last.
Beauty decays, laughter subsides
When will the stones be cast?

Tragedy can be measured
by the amount of happiness taken away
Elusion is our only protection
As we fall victim to its prey

So when I´ve reached a fork in life´s road
and the choices are many or few.
I follow the one that leads away from misfortune
Thats all I can really do

When life is good
You have to hold it in your hand
You have to close your eyes
You have to breathe it in!

Happiness may end
While tragedy begins
Today is the beginning
Is tomorrow the end?

Seninle yaþayabilmek, seni mutlu edebilmek

Desire

By nowordsmith


Smoke-like, drifting in an open door;
Too late! I should have closed it.
Filtering through the house,
Touching nothing,
Touching everything.
Ghosting through rooms,
Exploring crack and glim,
Leaving no mark,
Nothing unmarked.
Curling to the merest hint of air,
Caressing with fragrance,
Changing nothing,
Changing everything.
Ah, desire.

Summer 1999

Freedom in poetry

 

I read all my poems today

I can see only one thing:

And it is ´How much I do love you´

Craving, longing, waiting, hoping..

A miracle, a dream, a bit of a secrifice.

Knowing the worth, being valued.

Being able to hold your hands only, being able to look at your beautiful face

Being able to live with you, being able to make you happy

I have given my heart for once so you can keep it there forever

I have told my love in lines without expecting anything back

You have taken me out of darkness when ever I was scared.

 

If I am free in my poems, I will be free till the eternity

Come and be free with me "my love without a reason"

I will be waiting for you in lonely harbours.

 

My try.

An incredibly beautiful poem by Henry Longfellow..................
The Day is Done


The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of night,
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in his flight.
I see the lights of the village
Gleam through the rain and the mist,
And a feeling of sadness comes o´er me
That my soul cannot resist:
A feeling of sadness and longing,
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Come, read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And banish the thoughts of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of Time.
For, like strains of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life´s endless toil and endeavor;
And to-night I long for rest.
Read from some humbler poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart,
As showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start;
Who, through long days of labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
Of wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet.
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music
And the cares, that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.

Night Poem

There is nothing to be afraid of,
it is only the wind
changing to the east, it is only
your father the thunder
your mother the rain

In this country of water
with its beige moon damp as a mushroom,
its drowned stumps and long birds
that swim, where the moss grows
on all sides of the trees
and your shadow is not your shadow
but your reflection,

your true parents disappear
when the curtain covers your door.
We are the others,
the ones from under the lake
who stand silently beside your bed
with our heads of darkness.
We have come to cover you
with red wool,
with our tears and distant whispers.

You rock in the rain´s arms,
the chilly ark of your sleep,
while we wait, your night
father and mother,
with our cold hands and dead flashlight,
knowing we are only
the wavering shadows thrown
by one candle, in this echo
you will hear twenty years later.

Matsurika (Jasmine)

Gracefully you roll up the gauzy curtains
Of my clouded, weary heart, choked with grief, and brilliantly
One day your face is revealed in the languid, seductive
Brightness of poppies blooming in fields of enticement.

Even as, allured by whisperings that melt my soul,
I embrace you again, I feel I shall weep.
The most secred of sorrows, the trap of dreams-in your arms
my aching arms are imprisoned.

Again, one evening, I could not see you, but there came
The indefinable soft rustling of your spun-silk garment--
That was I all I heard, and my heart at that moment was riven.

In a room at night fragrant with the scent of jasmine
Your smile, mingled in that odor, sought my wound,
Sank into it, perfumed it, elegantly, again and again.

Piano - D. H. Lawrence


Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me;
Taking me back down the vista of years, till I see
A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
And pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles as she sings.

In spite of myself, the insidious mastery of song
Betrays me back, till the heart of me weeps to belong
To the old Sunday evenings at home, with winter outside
And hymns in the cozy parlour, the tinkling piano our guide.

 

 

So now it is vain for the singer to burst into clamour
With the great black piano appassionato. The glamour
Of childish days is upon me, my manhood cast
Down in the flood of remembrance, I weep like a child for the past.

Utopia

 

Nothing in the world
Could ever suffice
To replace the image
Of you by my side.

Tonight slowly ending
Through passage of sleep —
Becomes boring to the senses,
And dull to the heart.

But not all is lost,
For within sleep comes dreams —
Imagined, yet vivid destinations
Traveled by a longing mind.

Here is where Utopia awaits —
Where our laughter roams without barriers —
Where each passing day lasts a lifetime —
And where we never have to say goodbye.

Songe que notre vie à nous emprunte et mêle
Son sable fugitif à la grêve éternelle.

The Lorelei (Heinrich Heine)

I cannot explain the sadness
That´s fallen on my breast.
An old, old fable haunts me,
And will not let me rest.

The air grows cool in the twilight,
And softly the Rhine flows on;
The peak of a mountain sparkles
Beneath the setting sun.

More lovely than a vision,
A girl sits high up there;
Her golden jewelry glistens,
She combs her golden hair.

With a comb of gold she combs it,
And sings an evensong;
The wonderful melody reaches
A boat, as it sails along.

The boatman hears, with an anguish
More wild than ever known;
He´s blind to the rocks around him;
His eyes are for her alone.

--At last the waves devoured
The boat, and the boatman´s cry;
And this she did with her singing,
The golden Lorelei.

THE TRIPLE FOOL.
by John Donne

--- I am two fools, I know,
--- For loving, and for saying so
------ In whining poetry ;
But where´s that wise man, that would not be I,
------ If she would not deny ?
Then as th´ earth´s inward narrow crooked lanes
--- Do purge sea water´s fretful salt away,
I thought, if I could draw my pains
--- Through rhyme´s vexation, I should them allay.
Grief brought to numbers cannot be so fierce,
For he tames it, that fetters it in verse.
--- But when I have done so,
--- Some man, his art and voice to show,
------ Doth set and sing my pain ;
And, by delighting many, frees again
------ Grief, which verse did restrain.
To love and grief tribute of verse belongs,
--- But not of such as pleases when ´tis read.
Both are increasèd by such songs,
--- For both their triumphs so are published,
And I, which was two fools, do so grow three.
Who are a little wise, the best fools be.

Gunnar Ekelöf Swedish poet 1938-1959.

Here on the shore

The silence of the deep night is vast
It is not troubled by the sounds of people
who are eating each other here on the shore

And I can hear
the amazing rustle
of ships that pass
on the sea out there

These ships, are they so innocent?
Sometimes you hear a prolonged howl from out there
- as if. . . . if. . . .

 

 

---------------------------------------------------

 

When you have come as far

When you have come as far in meaninglessness as I
each word is interesting again:
Finds in the loam
that you turn with an archeological spade:
The little word "you"
perhaps a bead
that once hung from someone´s neck
The grand word "I"
perhaps a flint shard
that someone in his toothlessness used to scrape his tough
meat

 

 

---------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Solitude

That solitude, the will to solitude
the need for solitude, finally
principle and dogma of solitude-
that this means poverty
I admit!
But isn´t necessary to be poor in spirit?
To contract into something great!
Only he who is rich can afford poverty
and he, who hears the voice, silence.

Love Song: I and Thou

Nothing is plumb, level or square:
the studs are bowed, the joists
are shaky by nature, no piece fits
any other piece without a gap
or pinch, and bent nails
dance all over the surfacing
like maggots. By Christ
I am no carpenter. I built
the roof for myself, the walls
for myself, the floors
for myself, and got
hung up in it myself. I
danced with a purple thumb
at this house-warming, drunk
with my prime whiskey: rage.
Oh I spat rage´s nails
into the frame-up of my work:
It held. It settled plumb.
level, solid, square and true
for that one great moment. Then
it screamed and went on through,
skewing as wrong the other way.
God damned it. This is hell,
but I planned it I sawed it
I nailed it and I
will live in it until it kills me.
I can nail my left palm
to the left-hand cross-piece but
I can´t do everything myself.
I need a hand to nail the right,
a help, a love, a you, a wife.

Us from the second half of XX century


Splitting atoms


The conquerors of the moon


Being ashamed of


Soft gestures


Delicate sights


Warm smiles


...........when we suffer


we  twist our lips disrespectfully


when love comes


we shrug our arms disrespectfully as well


strong cynically


with ironically  squinting eyes


but late at night


with tightly closed blinds


we bite our hands


dying for love

Non Sum Qualis Eram Bonae Sub Regno Cynarae

Last night, ah, yesternight, betwixt her lips and mine
There fell thy shadow, Cynara! thy breath was shed
Upon my soul between the kisses and the wine;
And I was desolate and sick of an old passion,
Yea, I was desolate and bowed my head:
I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

All night upon mine heart I felt her warm heart beat,
Night-long within mine arms in love and sleep she lay;
Surely the kisses of her bought red mouth were sweet;
But I was desolate and sick of an old passion,
When I awoke and found the dawn was gray;
I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind,
Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng,
Dancing, to put thy pale, lost lilies out of mind;
But I was desolate and sick of an old passion,
Yea, all the time, because the dance was long;
I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

I cried for madder music and for stronger wine,
But when the feast is finished and the lamps expire,
Then falls thy shadow, Cynara! the night is thine;
And I was desolate and sick of an old passion,
Yea hungry for the lips of my desire:
I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

The Foolish Man´s Dream
 
 











  For a wish to just come true is a foolish man’s dream
With no action on the part of the dreamer, little can be accomplished
One might as well spend every penny they earn on the lottery
No one can hope to win race they do not enter

Yet so often, the poor and the sad
Will wish and not act, not believing they can help
Not believing in one’s self, but believing in luck
Or believing in the ability AND desire of another, be it human or inhuman, to save you

Such a savior is quite rare, it often seems too rare
Much too rare to accommodate for every wisher
Even too rare to yield any significant results overall
To the individual, it’s amazing, yet to the majority, it doesn’t exist outside of the mind

For these reasons, though they’re just one man’s experience
I believe any action, anything is better than nothing
To wish and never act is the foolish man’s dream
And every action makes him more the genius

For every action yields results
Knowledge, happiness, or success
There’s always at least knowledge
And, hopefully, determination too

With no determination, nothing will happen
With infinite determination, anything and everything you want can happen
But, then again, to want too much can just as well be one’s downfall
More desire does not always lead to more

Desire can be a bottomless pit
This pit has a ladder on the side
And all the riches in the world at the bottom
If you fall in, it’s always possible to get out
Gripping on the ladder is the hardest part
They say it’s not the fall that kills you, it’s hitting the ground

Time alone can kill a man just as surely, often more so
So, it seems, time is always of the essence
To delay a plan forever is to never carry it out
And to wait for wishes is to wait forever
For the majority, acting is the only way to succeed
And we’re all in the majority

Marcus Aurelius

Drinking Alone Under the Moon

Among the flowers, with a whole pot of wine,
- A solitary drinker with no companions -
I raise my cup to invite the bright moon:
It throws my shadow
and makes us a party of three
But moon
understands nothing of drinking,
And shadow
only follows me aimlessly.
For the time
shadow and moon are my fellows,
Seizing happiness
while the spring lasts.
I sing:
the moon sails lingeringly,
I dance:
my shadow twirls and bobs about.
As long as I´m sober, we all frolic together;
When I´m drunk, we scatter and part.
Let us seal for ever
this passionless friendship-
Meet again
by the far-off River of Stars!

 

 

Li-Bai (701-62)

 

--------------------------------------

Cutting branches from a Wu-T´ung tree*, then gazing at Yung Lake

The green wu-t´ung´s branches down,
we can sit looking out at Yung Lake.

Autumn mountains bathed pure in rain,
forests radiant, soaked in emerald quiet,

its bright mirror of water turns lazily
in a painted screen of changing cloud.

A thousand eras lost to wind, and still
the great sages all share this moment.

 

*"The only tree on which the phoenix would alight, is an ornamental species, which grows to great height very rapidly, and has a bell-shaped flower, white without and reddish-brown within. The leaves are very large; they open early and commence to fall at the beginning of autumn. The seeds enter into the composition of the moon-cakes eaten by the Chinese at the autumnal festival of the eighth month." (from http://www.phoenixmoon.org/thephoenixbackground.html)

Were I to meet you again for the first time,
But in a different orchard, in a different wood—
Perhaps for us the trees would sigh differently,
Extended into infinity under a misty hood...

Perhaps among the furrowed green you´d reach your hands
For other flowers, trembling as they were birds—
Perhaps from your undiscerning, unknowing lips
Would fall some other words—some other words...

Perhaps into a cascade of flaming roses
The sun would force our souls to burst for good,
Were I to meet you again for the first time,
But in a different orchard, in a different wood...”

mushroom-capped    glistening
& traces the trinity

 

       Axilla     (overturned skullcap)

 

                 Areola     (fisherman´s ring, still warm)

 

 

 

                             Perineum     (the grating whispered through)

 

Even this    his infallible arc
drawn in clear finish    can´t enter
the scuffed depths of heaven

New one for today ;

 

Birkaç Satýr

 

Hep kalbimi dinlerim, geçmiþten bugüne
Hep gösterdiði yoldan giderim, sonunu düþünmeden
Hislerim beni yanýltmaz hiçbir zaman
Güvenirim hep , hiç korku duymadan

 

Bazen duvarlara çarparým, bazen de düþerim
Ama her defasýnda toparlarým,
Güvenmek bir þeylere sert bir kaya gibi
Düþerken tutabildiðim bir aðacýn dalý gibi

 

Duygular götürür beni açýk denizlere,
Oralarda yalnýz olmaktan korkarým
Eðer birþeyler seni benden alýrsa
Bilemem tek baþýma ne yaparým

 

Bir kaç satýr, bir kaç kelime yazdýðým
Beni bir tek sen anlarsýn
Eksilmez gözlerimdeki iki damla yaþ
Lütfen artýk Cenk korkmasýn...

Glowing


 


Some seem to hide their face
As if concealed by a mirror —
Disguising their true intentions —
Replaced with those unreal to see.

But look within my glowing eyes —
Do not be fooled by their quiet stare —
For all you will find is truth and serenity,
And the clear reflection of my enchanted soul

Forget last night


Trying to forget the pains I cause


If he only knew


About the secrets I keep


Drowning, trapped


In my own mistakes


I can’t get out


Trying to feel


Looking in all the wrong places


To fulfil some need


Loosing myself all the time


To momentary highs


Always followed by a crash


Falling


Falling like I’m in some kind of horrible wonderland


Searching for a way out of this hole


Finding solace in different arms


Unsatisfied by the love I have


Wandering and searching


For something to fulfil the emptiness I feel deep inside

The Clod and the Pebble



Love seeketh not Itself to please,


Nor for itself hath any care;
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hells despair.

So sang a little Clod of Clay,
Trodden with the cattle´s feet;
But a Pebble of the brook,
Warbled out these metres meet.

Love seeketh only Self to please,

To bind another to Its delight:
Joys in anothers loss of ease,
And builds a Hell in Heavens despite

A few lines

 

I have always listened to my heart since the beginning

I have always went on the path myheart told me, without thinking the end

My feelings never ever misled me

I do trust them without hesitation

 

I hit the walls sometimes or fell off

But I always manage to straighten up

trusting something like a hard rock

Like a branch of a tree, you get hold on when falling

 

My sentiments take me to open seas

I get frightened to be there all alone

If something takes you away from me

I dont know what I do by myself

 

A few lines, a few words I have penned

You are the only one to understand me

Two drops of tear never dissapear from my eyes

Please, dont let Cenk to be frightened anymore

Here is one I wrote a long time ago, inspired by a photo I took of along a beach, and how someone might feel after a broken relationship.........

 

I walk along the shore

With the sand between my toes

And the ocean washing over my feet

I no longer hold your hand

Or feel your breath

You are no longer beside me

The warmth of your body gone

I am alone with the wind blowing in my face

Telling me, my heart has been ripped

Torn to shreds with your harsh words

Like the seaweed that is beaten by the sea

Tears on my cheeks mix with the rain

As I walk I don’t know where to go

I wander forever with no thought

And I will wait forever for peace

Heart, We Will Forget Him by Emily  Dickinson


Heart, we will forget him,

You and I, tonight!
You must forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done pray tell me,
Then I, my thoughts, will dim.
Haste! ´lest while you´re lagging
I may remember him!

Is wholesome even for the King,
But God be with the Clown —
Who ponders this tremendous scene —
This whole Experiment of Green —

A quick note,
A rushed phone call,
A smile from a photo taken far away.
The knowledge that the one you love,
Loves you equally.
These, that germinate the seeds of longing,
A longing immense…never before felt.
One that pulls at the heart without remorse.
Yet from the pain instilled,
Infinite pleasures are born.

The thought of once again,
Holding you in my now empty arms.
Memories of the sweet taste
Of your warm lips on mine.
Remembering the scent of a far off love…
Anticipation of the moment our bodies will touch,
Entwined in a timeless moment of passion.
These somehow subdue the longing…
Allowing the heart to continue its beat,
For the days of longing now grow short

Not to wake up only

That is all I want now

Not to open my eyes to a nightmare every morning

That is all I want now

 

A pitch black darkness falls down while the sun lightens the world

When I remember your sparkle my eyes get teary, a lump in my throat

Not to wake up only, not to open my eyes  each morning

That is all I want now

One of my favourites:

 

Death and the Gardener (P.N. van Eyk - 1887-1954):

In rushed my gardener from this morning´s dew,
White as a ghost seeking refuge, "Sir, Sir, a word with you!

Down in the rose arbour, pruning shoot after shoot,
I glanced around and Death behind me stood.

I jumped, and hastened off along the other side,
But yet caught a glimpse of his raised scythe.

Master, your horse, let me forthwith be gone,
Before sunset I shall reach Ispahan!"

This afternoon (he was long galloped thence)
I met Death in the cedar´d park and hence

Asked outright, for silent sentinel stood he, "Pray why
At early light did you my servant terrify?"

With a grimace came his reply, "No vain threat dismayed
Your gardener and forced him flee. I was amazed

At dawn to find still calmly working here this man,
He who this evening I must claim in Ispahan

Start your day in a positive manner,

smile and tell yourself everything will be alright.

Place all of your negativity and animosity,

high upon a shelf and leave them there.

 

Go out and see the world in a different light,

open up that part of you that you hid away long ago.

Break away from your heartache and be free,

do things you never thought you would today.

 

Reach out and touch someone´s heart,

help them see that life isn´t as bad as it seems.

Be the inspiration that they always needed,

and in time you too will feel renewed.

 

Find that special place within you,

where the sun continuously shines.

Break down that door and allow it,

to fill your world with endless joy.

 

Make peace with who you are,

and what you have become.

Never hate or tell yourself,

that you aren´t good enough.

 

You are all that you will ever need,

in this world and in your life.

Only you can change what you feel deep inside.

Believe in yourself and others will too.

On the shore

 

I sit by the shore sometimes, to listen to the sea

When you find the time, you listen too sometimes

The waves beat against the sand, each one like a word

Listen to the things they are saying..

 

Maybe you can hear the cries of those who are in love, maybe the songs of the fish

The more you listen the more you understand, and a peace floods your inner being

And maybe one day you will find what I sent you,

That little bottle with your name written inside...

Incomplete

the grey sky looming above,
rain drops still dripping down
from the pregnant clouds above,
we set out on our journey once again;

around and around we go
in slow circles, moving
to the beat of the thunder
and rain that surrounds us;

as the droplets hit the ground,
shattered realizations lay scattered
reminding me nothing is same
as it seems to be;

as another memory turns to dust
i cut the lifeline that attaches me to the past
and i shove it back into the depths
where nothing will ever bring it back alive;

the rain does nothing to stop our journey,
never forgetting, who we are
we walk these streets of madness,
knowing that,without each-other…..
we are simply incomplete.

I AM LISTENING TO ISTANBUL


I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed;
At first there blows a gentle breeze
And the leaves on the trees
Softly flutter or sway;
Out there, far away,
The bells of water carriers incessantly ring;
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.


I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed;
Then suddenly birds fly by,
Flocks of birds, high up, in a hue and cry
While nets are drawn in the fishing grounds
And a woman´s feet begin to dabble in the water.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.


I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
The Grand Bazaar is serene and cool,
A hubbub at the hub of the market,
Mosque yards are brimful of pigeons,
At the docks while hammers bang and clang
Spring winds bear the smell of sweat;
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.


I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed;
Still giddy since bygone bacchanals,
A seaside mansion with dingy boathouses is fast asleep,
Amid the din and drone of southern winds, reposed,
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.


I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
Now a dainty girl walks by on the sidewalk:
Cusswords, tunes and songs, malapert remarks;
Something falls on the ground out of her hand,
It´s a rose I guess.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.


I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed;
A bird flutters round your skirt;
I know your brow is moist with sweat
And your lips are wet.
A silver moon rises beyond the pine trees:
I can sense it all in your heart´s throbbing.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes

Oðlundan sana, en sevdiklerinden.
Neler yaþýyorum görüyor musun?
Sen huzur içinde orda yatarken ,

 

Birini sevdim, biliyorsun Anne,
Kavuran sýcaklarda bana gölge olan.
Üþüdüðümde bana kucak açan
Karanlýkta yolumu aydýnlatan,

 

Bana söylediðin gibi, biliyorsun Anne,
Kalbimi dinledim, onu izledim herzaman
Bir çýkar yol bulamýyorum artýk, biliyorsun Anne,
Geriye ne kaldý?, sabýrdan, umuttan

 

Sevgim kalbimde bir mühürdür Anne,
Paslanmýþ gönül penceremin parmaklýklarýnda.
Ýçerde sakladýðým kocaman bir okyanus
Dev dalgalarýyla beni savuran sonsuzluða .

 

Babama da söyledim mezarýnýn baþýnda,

Çiçekleri beðendin mi? Anne
Oðlundan sana, en sevdiklerinden.
Neler yaþýyorum görüyor musun?
Sen huzur içinde orda yatarken ,

 

Birini sevdim, biliyorsun Anne,
Kavuran sýcaklarda bana gölge olan.
Üþüdüðümde bana kucak açan
Karanlýkta yolumu aydýnlatan,

 

Bana söylediðin gibi, biliyorsun Anne,
Kalbimi dinledim, onu izledim herzaman
Bir çýkar yol bulamýyorum artýk, biliyorsun Anne,
Geriye ne kaldý?, sabýrdan, umuttan

 

Sevgim kalbimde bir mühürdür Anne,
Paslanmýþ gönül penceremin parmaklýklarýnda.
Ýçerde sakladýðým kocaman bir okyanus
Dev dalgalarýyla beni savuran sonsuzluða .

 

Babama da söyledim mezarýnýn baþýnda,
Sana söylediðim gibi Anne
Sadece mutlu olmak istedim, sadece onunla olmak.
Ýzin ver yanýna geleyim Anne
Belki bu benim son mutluluðum olacak..

The visit

 

Did you like the flowers? Mum

To you from your son, the ones you like the best

Do you see how I am living?

While you are resting in peace ,

 

I loved someone, you know that mum,

One who gave me shade from the fierce heart

Who opened her arms to me when I was cold

Who shed light on my dark path,

 

You know, it was just like you told me, mum

I listened to my heart, and followed it always

I can´t find a way out any more, you know that mum,

What is left?, of patience, of hope

 

Your love is like a seal on my heart mum

On the rusty railings of the window of my heart.

It is a huge ocean I keep hidden within me

With its giant waves it sweeps me towards eternity.

 

I told my father this too, at his gravestone,

Just like I am telling you mum.

I just wanted to be happy, to be with her

Let me come to where you are, mum

Maybe that will be my last happiness....

i found it today ....

love walks


She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that´s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow´d to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair´d the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens on her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on that cheek, and on that flow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Love´s Last Adieu
  The roses of Love glad the garden of life,
Though nurtur´d ´mid weeds dropping pestilent dew,
Till Time crops the leaves with unmerciful knife,
Or prunes them for ever, in Love´s last adieu!

In vain, with endearments, we soothe the sad heart,
In vain do we vow for an age to be true;
The chance of an hour may command us to part,
Or Death disunite us, in Love´s last adieu!

Still Hope, breathing peace, through the grief-swollen breast,
Will whisper, ÒOur meeting we yet may renew:Ó
With this dream of deceit, half our sorrow´s represt,
Nor taste we the poison, of Love´s last adieu!

Oh! mark you yon pair, in the sunshine of youth,
Love twin´d round their childhood his flow´rs as they grew;
They flourish awhile, in the season of truth,
Till chill´d by the winter of Love´s last adieu!

Sweet lady! why thus doth a tear steal its way,
Down a cheek which outrivals thy bosom in hue?
Yet why do I ask?---to distraction a prey,
Thy reason has perish´d, with Love´s last adieu!

Oh! who is yon Misanthrope, shunning mankind?
From cities to caves of the forest he flew:
There, raving, he howls his complaint to the wind;
The mountains reverberate Love´s last adieu!

Now Hate rules a heart which in Love´s easy chains,
Once Passion´s tumultuous blandishments knew;
Despair now inflames the dark tide of his veins,
He ponders, in frenzy, on Love´s last adieu!

How he envies the wretch, with a soul wrapt in steel!
His pleasures are scarce, yet his troubles are few,
Who laughs at the pang that he never can feel,
And dreads not the anguish of Love´s last adieu!

Youth flies, life decays, even hope is o´ercast;
No more, with Love´s former devotion, we sue:
He spreads his young wing, he retires with the blast;
The shroud of affection is Love´s last adieu!

In this life of probation, for rapture divine,
Astrea declares that some penance is due;
From him, who has worshipp´d at Love´s gentle shrine,
The atonement is ample, in Love´s last adieu!

Who kneels to the God, on his altar of light
Must myrtle and cypress alternately strew:
His myrtle, an emblem of purest delight,
His cypress, the garland of Love´s last adieu!

George Gordon  Byron (Lord Byron)

Oyun

 

Her sabah, baþlarýz yeniden oynamaya
Adýna hayat denen bu oyunu
Su gibi akar gider , hiç býkmadan oynarýz
Kimisi erken býrakýr, kimisi mutlu

 

Her gün biri biter biri baþlar
Yaþadýðýmýz sadece bir oyun
Ne kazanan var ne kaybeden
Gittiðimiz hep ayný karanlýk yer

 

Karanlýklarým aydýnlanýr parýltýnla
Görürüm tüm evreni gözlerinde
Hasret kalsam da ellerine, sözlerine
Beklerim belki bir gün dönersin diye

 

Korkularým vardý birer kar tanesi gibi soðuk
Umutlarýmla eritirdim onlarý her sabah
Kalbim atarken ismini haykýrýr ya
Ýþte bu yüzden hergün baþlarým yeniden, hayat denen bu oyuna

 

Beceremedim,beceremiyorum, oynayamadým, oynayamýyorum bu oyunu
Kurallarý bilmeden, acýmasýz olmadan
Bir sevdadýr yaþadýðým en güzel þey
O da artýk acý veriyor, sen benimle olmadan.

The game

 

Every morning we start once more to play

The game called life

It flows away from us like water, but we carry on playing without getting tired of it

Some leave the game early, some are happy

 

Every day one starts and one finishes

Our life is but a game

No one wins and no one loses

We all go to the same dark place
 

My darkness is lit up with your brightness

I see the whole universe in your eyes

If I long for your hands and your words

I wait, thinking maybe you will return one day

 

I used to have fears, each one cold like a snowflake

Every morning I would melt them with my hope

As my heart beats it cries out your name

This is why, every morning, I start once more to play this game called life

 

I couldn´t succeed, I can´t succed, I couldn´t play, I can´t play this game

Without knowing its rules, without being cruel

The most beautiful thing I have ever experienced is a loving relationship

That too now causes me pain, when you are not with me.

Grave stone

 

While making my way along this lost road, with thorns and cliffs and my fate

You are my one hope, don´t leave me hopeless and alone,

Don´t withold from me your hands which lift me up every time I fall

I need you so much, I beg you to understand this.

 

Your beautiful face is in every secret tear drop of mine,

Your face touches my face every time I cry

That warm body of yours covers my ring

Every time I touch it I feel you by my side

 

The strength I get to live comes from your heart full of love

To continue on this road I need you

If this hope in my soul ends one day

May they write on my grave stone that I loved you

Sona Giderken..

 

Sevda denizinde boğuldum,
Siddetli bir ask fırtınasıyla
Dibe dogru inerken aradım hep ellerini
Bu sefer gelmediler, tutmadılar ellerimi.

 

Umudumuz bir kelepçe gibi bağlamışken birbirimizi
Verdiğimiz sözler koskoca birer kayaydı yüreklerimizde,
Kalbimin sancısı bir martı çığlığı şimdi göklerde,  
Paramparça oldu verdiğin sözler bu aşk depreminde..

 

Ne zaman ihtiyacım olsa o güzel şefkatine sona giderken,
Artık sadece anılarım var beni teselli eden
Zaman öğretirse bana bir gün sensiz yaşamaya alışmayı
Şunu bil ki, öğretemez asla seni unutmayı..

I drowned in a sea of love,
It was a fierce love tempest

I searched for your hands as I descended to the depths

They didn´t come this time, they didn´t hold my hands.

 

Our hope was like handcuffs holding us to each other
The promises we gave were like huge rocks in our hearts,
The pain of my heart is the cry of a seagull in the sky now,  
The promises you made have been smashed to pieces in this earthquake of love..

 

Whenever I need your wonderful gentleness as I head towards the finale,
Now I have only memories to comfort me

If time teaches me one day to live without you
Know that it can never teach me to forget you..

Hangi Şarkı?

 

Güneş doğmaz ardından, ay korkar saklanır,
Soğuk bir rüzgar eser derinden karanlık gecelerimde
Seçtiğim yıldızlar birer birer kaybolur gökyüzünden
Kaybolmayan tek şey sen ve kalbimden sana akan kelimeler.

 

Uzanırım kumsallara, yazarım dinlerken dalgaları
Hani , köpük köpük olur ya sahil kıyısı
Bedenim de taşar köpük köpük olur, hayalin gözlerimde
Bir nefes çekerim derinden ve verirken yüreğim titrer ağlamaklı.

 

Gölgelerde kaybolurum evime dönerken,
Islık çalar, şarkı mırıldanırım korkmamak için
Buğulanmış gözlerim yürürken ağır ağır,
Ve sen bilirsin hangi şarkı bu, söylerken korkmadığım...

Which song?

 

The sun no longer rises, after you, the moon is afraid and hides,

A cold wind blows from the deep in my dark night

The stars I have chosen are lost from the sky one by one

The only thing that isn´t lost is you, and the words that flow to you from my heart.

 

I stretch out on the sand, I write as I listen to the waves

You know haw the sea side froths and foams

My body overflows too, froths and foams, your dream in my eyes

I take a deep breath, as I exhale my heart trembles from crying.

 

I am lost in the shadows as I return home,

I whistle, and mumble a song, so I am not afraid
As I walk slowly, my eyes water

And you know which song this is, that I am not afraid to sing ...

Azgın fırtınalarda bağlardın beni limanlara, hayata bağladığın gibi
Sürükleniyorum şimdi dibi bilinmez bir şelaleye
Gece gündüz savrulurum ipim koptuğundan beri.

Sığınmak istesem de tekrar bu aşk limanına

Sandal

 

Ben bir küçük sandalım , sen de benim ipim
Azgın fırtınalarda bağlardın beni limanlara, hayata bağladığın gibi
Sürükleniyorum şimdi dibi bilinmez bir şelaleye
Gece gündüz savrulurum ipim koptuğundan beri.

 

Defalarca alabora oldum ama batmadım, direndim inatla
Gördüğüm tek ışık sendin karanlıklarda
Sığınmak istesem de tekrar bu aşk limanına
İpim olmadan olmaz ,başaramam asla...

 

Cenk...

 

 

 

 Rowing boat

I am a little rowing boat, you are my rope

In raging storms you tied me safe to a harbour, just like you tied me to your life

I am now being dragged along by a waterfall that knows no end

I am thrashing around night and day since  my rope broke.

 

I capsized time and time again, but I didn´t sink, I stubbornly resisted

You were the one light I could see in the dark

Even if I want to shelter in love´s harbour once again

I can´t do it without my rope, I will never be successful ...

Gittiğinden Beri

 

Soruyorum kendime ara sıra kızmalımıyım diye
İmkansızlıkları aşamadığım için.
Kızmak mümkün değil, sadece ağlarım
Yıldızlardan gelen bu masmavi sevda için.

 

Mutsuz akşamlarımda ışıklar söner bir vakit
Dünya uyurken buluşurum seninle
Adımı söylediğinde titreyen şu kalbim
Sızlar derinden onu alıp gittiğinden beri..

 

Cenk...

New onw for today ;


Mühürlü Kalbim

 

Benim dünyamsın, şimdi artık dönmüyor.
Benim güneşimsin, şimdi artık ışıldamıyor.
Benim okyanusumsun, şimdi artık mavi değil
Benim ışığımsın, şimdi heryer kararıyor.

 

Değişse de herşey, güzel bir rüyadan uyanmak gibi
Sadece gülümse sevdiğim,bahar gibi,
Yalnız akşamlarında belki bunu hatırlarsın
Sevdamsın asla değişmeyen, adım gibi, adın gibi.

 

Eğer bir gece parlak bir ışık görürsen rüyanda,
Bilki o, aşkınla yanan kalbimdir çok uzaklarda,
Özlemin yüreğimde, mühürlenmişim bir kere ruhuna,
Gittiğinde ardından, dönse ne olur ki artık bu zalim dünya?

 

Cenk..

Here is mine (little contibution to the thread). It is a love poem - a very special one for a very special girl!

 

tempting love

 

when you are shining,

I think of you

when you are raining

I think of you

when you are storming

I thin of you

when you are smiling

you think of me!

Hehe! I guess this is my best poem so far! Your nice comments are welcome! {#emotions_dlg.bigsmile}

I see you already started to know me, ptaszek! Smile I am glad that I make progress, no?

it took you 4 min

 

 

Nooooo! You badly missed here! It took 31 years + 4 min to write! Wink

I truly smiled

 

 

What else could I wish? I am glad (and even a bit proud!) to have made you smile! Happy is me!

but it means nothing

 

{#emotions_dlg.sad} With time, ptaszek... With time it will start to mean ´something´. We both need just time...

 BTW you need to learn how to write good poems

 

 

How about teaching me? Yes, teach me! Will you?

 

 

Quoting ptaszek

 

 

Allen Ginsberg could be your master or Edward Stachura......

 

 

 

How about being my master? Yes, you be my master! Not only in poetry, but also....

Still I am not too bad for the beginning, am I? Now time to be a little bit assertive: one day, you I will impress!...

I Carry Your Heart-- EE Cumming

 

I carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)

I am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)

I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)

And it´s you are whatever a moon has always meant

And whatever a sun will always sing is you

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

And the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows

Higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

And this is the wonder that´s keeping the stars apart

 

I carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

 

Cheezy but rather sweet..

I heard it while I was watching a movie called ´in her shoes´..

Quoting kafesteki kush

from Guayabero-a book of tea by Piotr Madej

Polish university lecturer,English literature translator.. a poet,fascinating man

Ajah learns to walk

inside my head

with flowers bloom

and no one understands the the crazy wind speaks

in her hair

so blonde

a gauze butterfly basks in the sun

beetroot leaves wave

i think of the word chaos

and conclude we dance

the undancing dance

Ajah loves the summer breeze

and lips wet with butter

Every dawn she is ready

to build castles made of sands

in her eyes i drown

and Life whispers secrets to me

Thankful for every gesture

I witness the growth of Ajah

 

He died....in May last year being only 35..leaving Ajah and his posthumus child..sad,isn´t it
