STILL

My days
turn yellow
quietly,
and fall
on my life.
Still
I also trample
“ dry leaves”
haughtily.
I spread
the wings
of my heart
And strive for springs…

MY LOVE

My love to you
İs a melting light
in my eyes.
It is a smell of a flower
striving for spring.
My love to you
İs  a raindrop
dancing in the cloud of light.
My love to you
is God’s pray.

***

Write how you lived.
Without me how
you suffered.
Write whatever happened,
or what didn’t happen.
Let on the yellow pages,
our tears kiss one another.
Write What the pains are,
What tortures are.
Write
What means to whisper
to sleepless nights,
to loneliness.
The beating of my heart
is the answer
to your silence.
Write what you couldn’t live,
Write what you couldn’t feel.


TILL MY

I shall search for you,
Like my lost delight,
Like a pearl fell from my eyes.
I shall search for you
For my fate,for my fortune-
Like the meaning of the life.
I shall stare at the ways
Till my eyes lose their light,
till grow old.
I shall keep my love,
Like a bird
The wings of which are broken,
The nest of which is destroyed,
Though its screams
Will hurt my heart.

I AND YOU

I and You
to my friend
You are
as sensitive as me,
you are as alone as me.
The flowers understand
the feelings of our hearts
I sing a song-
Which has never been
sung before.
You tell me a poem
Which has never been
told anybody.
The hopes can’t be lost
in the sea of flowers.
