A personal card from an everlasting poetic
memorandum
(1)
When poetry muse visit me, it sits near my desk
moving away my books, having coffee with me
and chatting very much.
It is sometimes as heavy as summer
sometimes it is as light as guest
And other times it is as moody as the sword .
I sometimes could lose it
So I miss it when it does not visit me..
I ask about it searching for it in stations
, airports, parks.
And then it finds me between commas and words.
(2)
I could then be called friendship poet.
And what I write and decorate to be called something.
Without rhythm, buttons nor collars.
It lacks, in my opinion, all neat criteria.
All of this does not upset me nor mind me.
I make poems alone in my laps.
I draw my raw materials of words in my experiments.
And I engineer them through my language.
I don't care if their news is as cold as the snow in winter.
Or as hot as a desert heart.
Or as colorless as water glass.
Or as bloody as a battle of bloods.
(3)
I don't like from music its noises.
Nor its waist vibration.
Neither it's harps flu.
But I like its flowers smell when its
Fragrance spreads,
Its winter rhythm when it's singing spreads.
And Tatar's swords melting when its tenderness exist.
(4)
I like music when
It invites me to have a walk with it.
It takes me to a remote cottage
away from my world, among the trees.
It sits with me over grass and over the green lands saying to
me:
Look at the way the sparrows sing about the trees' branches.
Look to the calmness of nature here but there is no human
being.
Look how the due drops dance over flowers, leaves.
(5)
I don't want from a friend more than
being a friend.
I don't want him to carry my dullness's bags
and to throw them into a river or into a trash container.
All I want from him is to understand
my language, to listen to my wishes song
and to see how light shines from them.
(6)
I may be a rebel sometimes
, to the extent that
I explode like explosives inside my poems.
But I am sometimes weak and other time hesitant
and never mentioned nervous but I don't forget my talent in
poetry.
Because I don't let my childhood to be homeless in the streets
of sadness.
I don't lose my personality criteria.
(7)
When the first sun of my life appeared.
I had no idea that there in my heart a spot
can take one quantity of love.
At then my poetry decided to wear a new suit
to be decorated through spring strings.
My poetry wore a hat ornamented by
the colors of a lovely dusk.
It took me in front of a water area
and it ordered me: move there
The weather at day was on vacation
without introducing any apology
for the people who came to enjoy it.
The weather went leaving in my disk the winds
, the clouds and rains.
At that time, I had neither boat to arrive
nor one carriage with horses to drag.
My goal was that to reach the island
even if it needs to be reached by swimming.
I crossed the water and once
I reached and my feet touched the sand
, the clouds vanished, the waves eased and darkness ended.
I saw an island which does not exist
but in dreams and I saw a women stands in front of me saying
…
I love you..
I love you...
I felt at that time that the waves of the sea
left and they became brides just like the planets and moon.
I felt that the sky turned into a ceiling
from which balloons, flowers drop.
I felt that all the land became one carpet color
ornamented with lovely pictures, places and birds.
I felt as if I turned into an angle not a human
any more and that I live for the first time and I love.
(8)
I look into myself in people's mirrors
I see a picture of one person
Then I look into my self in my mirror.
I see two pictures of one person.
(9)
I don't believe in parties likes
or in public conferences, or in regional prayers
but I believe in one link
which is the everlasting friendship.
(10)
What kind of world in which we live
as chickens surrounded by fences
, personal cards, blockades and walls.
In which our hand prints are kept our names are kept.
Our faces features are known whenever we go.
The birthdates is written to the as well as
the death and marriage.
(11)
It occurs to me that
I leave my father's tent one day ,
to travel away from it even if it was
in fantasy , to escape a little from the busy questions
where have you been?
With whom have you been?
Since when you are here?
How did you spend your day time?
How did you spend your night?
And to escape a little from my mother's questions
whom she fills me with among which,
Did you drink?
Did you succeed?
Did you study?
I am looking for a remote hotel which
does not ask me (will you be late tonight sir) ?
I am looking for a lover whom she will ask me
when will be our dating tomorrow?
I am looking for a lonely street
which doesn't blame me when I walk over it.
I am looking for a happy homeland
which does not deprive me from my freedom criteria.
(12)
I did not imagine that my age train would go
that fast in which the entire tickets one
reserved forward with no back retreat.
With no station to be called the station of memories.
I am looking for a station to bring me back
a little to my childhood, a station which can
bring me back my innocence when I was young.
I asked all the passengers about the place
of that station.
But I didn't find anybody who knew the
answer, because everybody of them aims at his goals.
(13)
I never dreamed of entering caves
or the composition columns puzzles,
or the details of quantities of cement mixtures
nor in holes in which the human feelings became very hard
why-how-when did the engineering formulas come from?
My dreams all flows into one river
led by feelings only to reach a romantic love island.
(14)
I don't want to try my poetry music
over a note of rhythm
just like the bright of prayers
do not shine from flames.
I agree to write my poems names
using my friends' name, sadness and joy.
Wheat tears ask me why I like
the west having its frenzy, mind, eyes
, science and art.
I answer that when a nation
disown its stems , it does not
find any enemy to fight so it fights
it self then it does not deserve a spot of
land even if the land is fed up with rubbish.
(15)
I don't want to compose a case or poems
from my home land.
I don't want to wear politics as a winter
coast or a wool hat.
Because homeland is bigger than me
and than others.
To me it is enough to have an identity
under its umbrella.
(16)
I dream one morning
to wake up finding that pains
have packed its bags and left from here.
To find that crying found mourning homes other ours.
To find shares are no more
directed to our breasts .
To find that fighting
becomes growing from our fields.
Unfortunately, our dreams are leaves of trees
in autumn season, they fall by the winds.
(17)
I know that the poems which don't start
or end without any verbal decorations do not live
and become a history.
But I know that many alive creatures
die while they are alive and other dead creatures live while
they are dead .
So I decided and chose to die inside
the eyes and heart of the people who love me.
