Best Ates Poems

Carol my friend
You can relax
Samuel, Sarah 
And Thunder are back.

They hitched a ride 
With the mail carrier
Were in good shape
And seemed even merrier.

Pre-she-ates Youse
Watchin um fer me's
Theys seys youse a nice lady
Weren't news ta me.

Keeps in touch
An I'lls does tha same
God Bless Youse....

Actions or gestures putting the senses into baptism
Love so pure and powerful, spreads beyond evangelism 
True concern, effective enough to dilute cataclysm
Rates of its occurrence, not significant in life’s prism
Under goodness adrenaline and hyperthyroidism
Irreversible kindness, too strong for evil’s cultism
So selfless to cushion any emotional...

Isigin dusu yagmur 
Yagar yagar   
Sicim gibi duser 
Duser  ustume
Uyanirim  dusumden
-Hatirlarim  -
Gecmis yasanmis  
Bitmemis  hayata
Senle ve sensiz
Isigin duser  ayin golgesine
Isildar  yakamozun dalgalarin sesinde
Senle ve sensiz 
Yasamim eser  melteminde tenin
Aninda ruyam desem unutulmaz
Lodos kasirkaydi karanlikti ...

Tane tane hayatim
Kostum tarlasinda umidin
Ruzgar savurdu  ruyami
Yagmur olmus sel
Tutanamadim

Bir kar tanesi hayatim
Bir yamacta tutunsam
Kaysa cocuklar sirtimdam
Eridim su oldu bedenim

Bir ates kivilcim hayatim
Yaksam  korkunu kullugun
Kulunde yeserse  barisa fidan
Kul oldum  yittim  kendi atesimde 

Bir care olsa bilge kisi halime
Bu dunya halindem yorgunum
Tasinalim...

G rowing older isn't funny.
R usty pipes don't work as well.
O ver-worked mind moves much slower,
W ords won't come, my tale to tell.
I was once an active youngster,
N ot a creek was in my step.
G one the child I was forever.

O h I miss her...

Gunesin atesi soldu
Yarim yandi kul oldu 
Umutlarinda dogan ates
kul oldu kullugunda sevginin 
Isindikca nefesim kavruldu
Kayboldu  kayboldu  
Mahserin kuru gurulusunde


Yarim yandim renlerin duslerine
Nefesim ejdarhanin  kan kirmizi topuzu
Oldumde dirildim basucunda
Dogacak cocuklarin mutlu duslerine

Gunesin atesi yakacak yarim ayriligimi (vatanimdan)
Diriltecek yagmurlar desem bir omur boyu dus
Sevgiye...

It's like wearing thick gloves
and then touching the ice-
you know it's c   o l d
but you can't quite feel the slippery smooth surface
and the texture of the soggy wool that separ-

J-ust open up your life, 
E-ach and every day; 
S-o the Lord God above
S-hows you the right way.

G-ates of the heaven
E-ndorse eternal glory, 
N-ever turn away, 
I-n spite of the misery, 
O-vercome the blue and gray.
