This magnificent event was celebrated in the film Istanbul Kanatlarımın Altında. Wonderful film music too ... I love it!

I have a video clip and some of the music on my Book Marketing page

I can't bear it, don't cry
Don't get down
It will pass, this too will pass
Don't lose hope

We are only human, from time to time
We can get knocked off balance
When we come to our senses
We can love again

From time to time I too
Get cross with fate
Roaring like the wind
I leave no ashes in the grate.

From time to time I too
Get sad at love
I renew myself
and accept it

I am burning up, my friends
and am melancholy at this time
Inside me ar only dejected
sad,painful songs

I am a dropin the ocean
I am a grain of sand on the beach
Don't forget that this heart
Is really crazy for you

We are only human, from time to time
We can get knocked off balance
When we come to our senses
We can love again

askım ben bugunde izinliyim, şehir merkezindeyim
Darling, today I am on leave, I am in the town centre

benim kaldıgım yerde bilgisayar yook...
There is no computer where I stay

televizyon yook...
There is no TV

telefon yasak..
The phone is forbidden

dün seni gizli aradım eğer yakalansaydım ceza yerdim
aramaya korkuyorum...
Yesterday I called you in secret, if I had been caught I would have been punished. I am afraid of calling

From me: he is on active service in a dangerous part of the country where there are lots of terrorists. What he is saying is true: the army would be afraid of hs giving away their position and he could get into big trouble! Please be understanding, where he is is nothing like the modern part of Turkey you met in. Also it is very tough in the army if you are on active service. Hope he stays safe and well.

Lovely poem as usual. You are very talented

If it lay in my power I would reign in your heart
When the time comes
I would leap from this stressful age
And be your slave

We thought the same things
In time
We did not forget the old days
We were to become one in this heart

How lovely it was to hold your hand
To be a seal on your lips

Whatever you do, don't leave
Don't get cross about silly little things and leave
What did you want me to do that I didn't do
Let us accept it slowly
I am like medicine for you

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
