Quoting sophie: And this is my favorite. I know I've posted it many times, in several topics, but here is where it really belongs.
YALNIZLIK SIIRI
THE POEM OF BEING LONELY
They don't know,
Those who don't live alone,
How frightening is
Soundlessness;
How a person talks to himself,
How he runs to mirrors,
Hungry for a soul,
They don't know it...
|
I don't know enough about his works yet to be able to talk about a favourite one, but this one has a good chance..
Thanks Sophie

This is my love's favourite poet, and has become mine as well  He had a book with all Veli's poetry, which he read in Turkish to me, then translated them.
There is one about a ship, i forgot the title, does someone know? I could ask Kadir as well ofcourse, but I'd like to text it to him in Türkçe

My pleasure, ramayan. Here it goes.
Sevdaya Mı Tutuldum?
Benim de mi düşÃ¼ncelerim olacaktı,
Ben de mi böyle uykusuz kalacaktım,
Sessiz sedasız mı olacaktım böyle?
Çok sevdiğim salatayı bile
Aramaz mı olacaktım?
Ben böyle mi olacaktım?
Did I Fall in Love?
I didn't believe I would have thoughts like this,
I would be sleepless at nights,
I would be so silent.
I didn't believe I would not care
Even about the salad that I like so much.
How can I be like this?

MAHZUN DURMAK
Sevdigim insanlara
Kizabilirdim,
Eger sevmek bana
Mahzun durmayi
Ogretmeseydi.
Orhan Veli Kanik (Varlik, 1.11.1937)
SADNESS
I might have got angry
With those I love
If love
Hadn't taught me
To be sad.
Orhan Veli Kanik
