may love upstage
ego’s cage that
heart’s rage is quelled
bumbles with sun rays
dancing on swamp rose petals
glory of morning
If I could travel back in time,
I’d go back twenty years ago
When my life was still in its prime
And I could still speak to my bro.
My brother died at twenty-six--
Too young to be deprived of breath;
I knew no charms nor any tricks
Would wrest him from the hands of Death.
We were like strangers in our house,
He and I when he was alive;
Hatred as between cat and mouse
Seemed in mine and his heart to thrive.
So every day just passed us by
With nary a word betwixt us.
No “How are you” nor a simple “Hi,”
We never sat down to discuss.
So if I could go back in time,
I’d go to when he still had life:
I’d laugh with him o’er gin and lime,
And we’d share things both old and rife.
You're my favourite daybreak melody.
I wake soft sips to your aroma.
Ready to take on the day.

exhume ego
lust forgo now
let go of thought
wedding day jitters
standing at the altar
~ then comes the no-show
ego disease
please release now
just cease all thought
I know I'm blessed
and have much to be thankful for
I've lived many happy decades
love and friendships along the way
I look around and see much strife
in many corners of the world
I appreciate the peace surrounding me
and all the luxuries not to be taken for granted
My heart bleeds to think not everyone
has peace of mind for their family
in war torn countries they fear for their safety
I pray for an era where conciliation will reign for all
Soft sunlight warms
an empty morning.
Memory hums below
like distant footsteps.
A hush gathers —
then lingers in my chest.
John Scott Harrison,
the odds must be a hundred to one -
your father was the president, and so was your son.
I don't want crown and throne of world
My wish is to take slave certificate
With your mercy I knew your almighty self
At the judgement day with Quran resurrect us
I came from you and my turn is to you again
To life that you gave accept my sincere thank
Worlds to one side and to one side your consent
At the judgement day with Quran resurrect us

Translation Onur Ünlü
Who neglects to marvel
sun-up to sundown
at daily miracles all around
Water flows under snow
evaporation happens…
O how the paper cut burns
on which a sense of wonder turns
break ego’s chain
by retraining
brain draining soul
Thank You

Acknowledge You

*This season of Thanksgiving would be a great time
to personalize this poem by using the word "I"
before each line. It could greatly 'bless' someone.
Where wall meets ground
and nothing's round,
by God's design
on that straight line
a lizard's found.
Where wind blows air,
a child's gold hair
flies all around -
a princess crowned
laughs without care.
Nobody knows
where the time goes.
On that day, fair,
a boy was there,
the day he chose.
