PATH

No one can turn to the sun;
we should all have a secret forest,

but where was this path?

Water flows through water,
was that a door or our hearts slamming in the wind?

We should all have a secret spring,

but where was this path?

Is love a bloody bundle,
snow chewing, that comes and goes without a reason?

-It's our hearts slamming in the wind-

A poet's life is without rhyme or reason,

but where was this path?

PATİKA

PATİKA

Kimse yüzünü dönemez güneşe
gizli bir ormanı olmalı hepimizin,

nerdeydi bu patika?

Suyun içinden geçer su,
çarpan kapı mı kalbimiz mi rüzgârda?

Gizli bir pınarı olmalı hepimizin,

nerdeydi bu patika?

Kanlı bir çıkın mıdır aşk,
kar çiğneyen, geri dönen durduk yerde?

-Çarpan kalbimizdir rüzgârda-

İpe sapa gelmez şairin hayatı,

nerdeydi bu patika?
