  DÜŞLERİMİ SİLDİM-AÇILMADI

Ben çok yazdım
YAZ’dı yazdım
Boyadım, yazdım
İçine:
Renkler koydum
Duygular kattım
Düşünceler söyledim
Açtım-Koyulttum
Hiç yanıt alamadım
Oysa yanıt açıktı
Renkler koyuydu
Açtım koyuyu
Koyu açılmadı.....

I WIPED OUT MY DREAMS- UNFULFILLED

I wrote
A great deal
I wrote down
WRITE
I polished it
And wrote
Inside its glow
As well as colour
I incorporated
Feeling
I told my thoughts
I opened up myself
And filled the blanks
And blacked them in
Receiving no reply
But the reply was plain
Its colours dark
I opened up
The darkness
Its gloom
Remained .....
