Dining by Storms: Chapter 3 – The Way of Water
Chapter 3 – The Way of Water Her heart went numb, her eyes a bit teary from the heavy winds braising her sun-soaked hair as it somberly coalesced from her scarf to her beanie. Mimicking the tattered bits of memory as if turned on like a projector to those dark, cold corners of those streets […]

To Be
To be… Do you ever wish by the gates of fate, As it’s pulse beats by your ear drums, knowing having a seat at that table, in all your uncomeatable compassion, to seek a justice you feel you have not breathed a second of your life. And just to be… Do you think you could […]

Bound To You
Whenever living comes to mind; Though it’s hard, upon the harsh sonder where wolves wander. In all shameless pride, yet without soiling our hands in kind. ___ And yet, whenever living comes to mind; Over yonder in my surrept silence, your name I ponder. Surging from what comes of that secret tide; ___ No! Don’t […]

Dawn
An angel, robed in spotless white, Bent down and kissed the sleeping night. Night woke to blush; the sprite was gone. Men saw the blush and called it dawn. By: Paul Laurence Dunbar

Memoriam
The breeze does blow, for winds sing their snares Around that roads bend and over our souls Time lures it’s hook to many fish cast And brings old tongues anew, to wither or to last

Sevda
Güneşsiz günler alışılmış ve gelirde bir garbı-affak’dan Hasretin şümûlüne set etmez senin güzel safı seniyyene Anlamsızlık ard arda arar bazen bahtı-bedbahtlardan Hayallerin hayy-u kayyumu ve kat kat keramettine Yıldırmaz yarı yaranım, sevdanın açı şerbetine Kaderin nümülerinden tatlı bir tılsım seyreyler

Sometimes
Sometimes, That first-sun smiles, before it sets away And you draw your every breath beside the dowry dews of day Sometimes, That coffee leaves a lump that outlasts its lay As pieces of parchments pray for you to pay a visit for the day Though, sometimes A key seems off in the broken bits of […]

Dining by Storms: Chapter 2 – Goodbyes and Farewells
Chapter 2 – Goodbyes and Farewells “Who is it?” Maryam asked as she slowly opened the front door to slow the cold breeze from blasting into their small apartment. Her eyes widened as she noticed the navy collars of the police officers by her door. There was one too many, though she quickly kept her […]

Home
Home, A flowing river or it’s sifting sands Upon the tattered thorns or blooming buds Over a bees bounty or a hyenas howl Once upon and now forgone? Home, An atom now split Or like galaxies tethered to tender touch Under wilting withered winters Or saintly spruce springs Eternal and everlasting? Home, Beyond the sights […]

Dining by Storms: Chapter 1 – To Fall Again
Dining by Storms Chapter 1 – To Fall Again Among the belting and billow of the branches, now a worn bristle, that swayed through the brush of a banquet’s warm shades and paraded off the eyes to a sober November afternoon. Gray stone walls hid behind their ancient solemn sanctity, bowing to its bountiful chapters […]

The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls
The tide rises, the tide falls,The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;Along the sea-sands damp and brownThe traveler hastens toward the town,And the tide rises, the tide falls. Darkness settles on roofs and walls,But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls;The little waves, with their soft, white hands,Efface the footprints in the sands,And the tide […]

Sırrını Eyleme Zahir
Hakkı gel sırrını eyleme zahir, Olmak ister isen bu yolda mahir, Harabat ehlini hor görme şakir, Defineye malik viraneler var. Ibrahim Hakki Hazretleri

Yaprak Dökümü
Hayatında zamanın yaprak dökümünü hayallce görüp anladın O ağaçın altında mevsimlerin oluşumu bir bir aradın Onun yapraklarını okumaya çalışdın Da bilemedin bir tanesinde sende vardın Ne kudretdi esince esti savurdu senide Ne rahmetdi bereketi üzerine o zamanlar kaldı kalbinde Ve sandın kaybettim diye dolaştın Ama belkide bulunamayanla buluştun…

Sinek Kuşu

Firefly ()
A beacon of its own, some a simmer and some a shout Faint and fairly fluttering it flairs and flares out Even within the darkest of all ill spoken dusky dredges A firefly surely trudges…

The Shipyard
Before bustling beams, and above the hue of a humble heap Where breaths are drawn in guard far from deceit … There lay grounds upon time a shipyard It’s years told and still unfold though to some scarred of ill reproved canard Generations like within a schools yard who still praise in high regard … […]

Gönül Istermi
Hiç gönül bir istermi, Sevdiğini kendinden silmeyi, Sevgi dediğin bulunmayan marifeti, Kalmazdı ozaman, O sırrın selameti. Sevgisiz sinede saplanıp estiği gibi. Bir gun kaplamazdı etrafını, dolaşıp gördüğün gibi.

Vaktin Vaatlerinde Gezerken
Canlanır bazen koca bir aşk sahrası Küsense de gitmez, güzelerin sönmez baharları —— Uzaklığı bazen yara bırakır, seslenirken ufukları Hep önce bir hayaldir hep, yarınların vaatları —— Ama gelirde bırakır bastı-bayramları Kalbinin binçe bülbül bostanları

Kahve Mevsimi
Bir günler geldi kapımıza Güneş bulduk ama nazlı, biraz da şansımıza ——— Uzak durur, Aramızda hafif rüzgar eser durur ——— Onun sevgili sonbahar mevsimi İçimizi ısıtacak bir kahve mevsimi ——— Yapraklar uzatır ellerini şansımıza Geldi güzel günler kapımıza

To the Rose upon the Road of Time
Red Rose, proud Rose, sad Rose of all my days! Come near me, while I sing the ancient ways: Cuchulain battling with the bitter tide; The Druid, grey, wood-nurtured, quiet-eyed, —— Who cast round Fergus dreams, and ruin untold; And your own sadness, were of stars, grown old In dancing silver-sandalled on the sea, Sing […]

Till Next Time’s Toast
You may wonder in your sweet age If the words one day may move off the page As they move off you From the lyrics of that song you enjoy —- Will it ever be Or is it a maybe In a dream No where to be seen —- But I’ll tell you Don’t be […]

Aynadarlık
Zamının akıcı ve kırıcı hengamesinde Hep güzelliğini görmeni ve göstermeyi ile yandım durdum —- Ve ne ırmak bile bildim altında durduğun şelalede Zaman zaman görmekte aciz olan oldu kalbim —- Uzatamadım elimi açmayı, anlam verebildiğin perdelerde Karşısında aciz olduğum kelimeleri, sadece bir bir dizip yazmayı bildim —- Gel misafirim ol istedim Bu üç beş satırlık […]

New Days

Gözümün Nuru
Gözlerini görmeye olmuşum hasret Bakışlarının pak buyruğunu bile bilmeden gelen haslet —- Hüzünden helal hoşa döner olmuş hatıralarda Her kim her hal ile yürür bazen durur eder hatalarda —- Bırak biriktirme sana bana kalmış olmuş kasvet Zaman zeminin yüzüyle okumana baka kalmış içinde hasret —- Umum-i kamil kalır ve olur bir çelebi, gelen marazlardan Olursun […]

We Always Knew

Kapını Uzak Tutma
Kapını uzak tutma Geceler uzun, yollar da yaman _____ Başta bulduğumuz günler bir gün gelir, gel unutma Bir avuç şu sap setler, ki dillere olmuş peyman _____ Bir de artık dizilen hediye olmuş gelip gecen hatıranlar Adeta hayalden uzanan aydın kurulmuş kehkeşanlar _____ Maziden bir parçam oldun yar Ama istikbaleri saran bir yolumuz daha var […]
