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.

My poem
Very short but said a great deal and still does, although for different reasons.
MY NOT SO IDLE MUSE
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...

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.

Quoting cybernetics: Quoting cybernetics: 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..
CENK |
New one for today 
Oysa, düslerimde gormustum ben mutlulugu,
Kucuk bir cocugun avuclarında sunulmustu gelecegim bana
Soyledım ya sadece bir düstü
Uyandıgımda ise karanlık odamda,
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.
