Hasret


Yuz yil oldu yuzunu gormeyeli
belini sarmayali
gozunun icinde durmayali
aklinin aydinligina sorular sormayali
dokunmayali sicakligina karninin.
Yuz yildir bekler beni
                bir sehirde bir kadin.
Ayni daldaydik ayni daldaydik
ayni daldan dusup ayrildik
aramizda yuzyillik zaman
                yol yuz yillik
Yuz yildir alaca karanlikta
                kosuyorum ardindan





Yearning


Hundred years past without seen your face
without hugging your waist
not  being part of your eye
not to question lightness of your mind
not to touch warmness of your belly

hundred years now  a women waits me
                                       in a city 
Seating on the same branch same branch  
fall dawn from same branch,  we parted
between us hundred years time
                   the road hundred years
hundred years in pitch darkness
running after you.

Miskin
Otur oturdugun yerde
Bu sarki sensiz soylenir
Ne kadar uzaksin yildizlardan
Ne kadar kucuksun dilenir


Otur oturdugun yerde
Arzular gelir kehribar misali dolanir
kadinlar gecer
Gozlerin bir cift kizilcik yapragi gibi sallanir
Otur oturdugun yerde
Telas etme
Olumun ayagina kadar gelir elbette.


Lazy


Seat still as you are
this tune goes without you
how far away you are from the stars
so small you wish you are


Seat still as you are
desires wraps around you like Amber stone
women pass away
your eyes swing like couple of  cranberry leaves
seat still as you are
do  not rush
obvious death will come to your door
