Quoting SuiGeneris:

KROJ

UkraÅ¡ću tvoju senku, obući je na sebe i
pokazivati svima. BićeÅ¡ moj način odevanja
svega nežnog i tajnog. Pa i onda, kad
dotrajeÅ¡, iskrzanu, izbledelu, neću te sa sebe
skidati. Na meni ćeÅ¡ se raspasti.
Jer ti si jedini način da pokrijem golotinju
ove detinje duše. I da se više ne stidim pred
biljem i pred pticama.

Na poderanim mestima zajedno ćemo plakati.

ZaÅ¡ivaću te vetrom. Posle ću, znam, pobrkati
moju kožu sa tvojom. Ne znam da li me
shvataš: to je prožimanje.
To je umivanje tobom.

Ljubav je čiÅ¡ćenje nekim. Ljubav je nečiji
miris, sav istkan po nama.
Tetoviranje maštom.

Evo, silazi sumrak, i svet postaje hladniji.
Ti si moj način toplog. Obući ću te na sebe
da se, ovako pokipeo, ne prehladim od
studeni ovog straha i samoće.

Miroslav Antić


The Cut

I will steal your shadow, put it on and be
showing it to everyone. You'll be my dressing style
of all that's tender and secret. Even then, when you
dilapidate, tattered, faded, I won't
put you off. On me you will decompose.
For you are my only way to cover the nakedness
of this childish soul. And to stop me being embarrassed
in front of the plants and birds.
On the ragged spots, together we will cry.
I will sew you up with the wind. Later, I know, I will mistake
my skin for yours. I don't know if
you understand me: it's permeating.
It's being washed with you.
Love is being purified by someone. Love is someone's
scent, weaved all over us.
Being tattooed with imagination.
Here it is, the twilight's coming down, and the world grows colder.
You are my course of warm. I will put you on
so that, so effervesced, I don't get cold
with the frost of this fright and this lonelines.

Dikiş

Çalacağım gölgeni, giyip ve
herkese göstereceğim. Sen benin giyinme tarzım
olacaksın, bütün bu şevkat ve gizle. Bakımsızlıktan harap
olsanda, parçalansanda, solsanda, seni
çıkarmayacağım. Ãœzerimde ayrışacaksın.
Örtmenin tek çaresi sensin bu çocuksu ruhumda ki
çıplaklığı. Ve bitkilerin, kuşların önünde
utanmamı durdurmanın.
Yırtık pırtık yerlerinde beraber ağlayacağız.
Seni rüzgarla dikeceğim. Sonra, biliyorum, kendi tenimle
senin tenini karıştıracağım. Bilmiyorum
beni anlıyormusun: bu yayılma.
Bu seninle yıkanmaktır.
Aşk birimiz tarafından arındırılmaktır. Aşk birimizin kokusunun,
tüm üzerimize yayılmasıdır.
Hayal ile dövmelenmektir.
İşte, alacakaranlık çöküyör, ve dünya gittikçe soğuyor.
Sen benim ısınma yöntemimsin. Seni giyeceğim
ve böylece, bu kaynaşmayla, üşÃ¼meyeceğim
bu korku ve yalnızlıgın soğuğundan.

I appreciate your efforts, SunFlowerSeed. Thanks. I will wait for the last part.

Quoting CARTEL:

as well i advice nazim hikmet http://www.siirperisi.net/sair.asp?sair=69

Quoting Quasimodo:

Well, Slavica, it seems you take offence from whatever we write. No one can be blamed, for they like this poet or that poet. However I think anyone has right to express their opinion and can make some criticism. As you noticed, no-one blamed you and the other user who posted on Mayakovksy first since you expressed your opinion on him. But you might have satisfied with not adding Mayakovsky to your list, mightn't you? And you weren't supposed to comment on him, were you? If you don't like a poet, you simply don't add them to your list, that's all. Then, as long as you make comments on any poet, this creates a right, for lovers of that poet, to reply.

Quoting vineyards:

Why are you so full of hatred?
If we are both referring to Ahmet Selcuk Ilkan the lyrics writer for some low-life arabesque songs and if your are placing him next to Hikmet or Lorca then sorry I am closer to being Mr. Shakespeare.

Please mind your manners. Or else let us not write to each other...

Quoting vineyards:

If Ahmet Selcuk Ilkan is a poet then I dub myself Shakespeare.

Quoting vineyards:

There is nothing like a top poet. Because there is not just one kind of poetry. There are different tastes instead. Liking Nazim but detesting Ritsos is inconceivable. Poetry is a cultural thing just like kitchen.

You start with a Peruvian poet and end the night with Hayyam without seeking superiority. As you read on you get ready for other tastes too.

Quoting slavica:

Quoting Capoeira:

I don't think posting a poem is going against the idea of the thread. If there are rules and rule breakers perhaps we should start with the people who posted more than 25 as that is explicitly stated in the title of the thread as well! I find allowing it to evolve into posting a favorite piece, not some sappy homemade love sonnet, is also note worthy and thought provoking.

Quoting Quasimodo:

Slavica - I must also add this: If it hadn't been for Mayakovky, Nazim Hikmet and Pablo Neruda, for example, whom, I know, you do like very much, had never existed as two great poets of the century!
