“Lost Road to Kashmir”



Tenderness arrives 
late sometimes
in the 11th hour 

soft cashmere 
wrapped like a child
love around your knees

pale roses
tease golden grail
visions

blushing again
in the twilight years
on some kind of mission

birds 
become
bees

honeyed wings
sweeten the hallucinatory
messages written...

The feast of Saint Valentine's Day
We saw passing by classy women with gorgeous hips

The dawn of anticipated darkness,
Pierces these gilded walls.
The smoulder of sinister heat arising-
An entombment of dreams.

Let us raise our chalices of stars
To toast these woodland creatures emerging.
From beyond the drapes of tasseled velvet,

Masked trickery within bayou nights
Under the diffusing Dixie lanterns glow
Flowing songs lost within legend and myth
Dancing with a quipster and pierrot 

Lovers and friends hidden in masquerade
In sequined illusions and beaded dancing 
These candid moments...

In the depths of the night I swear I saw your halo
Drifting above,  when my thoughts were calm
Ornate but simple  like the humble daisy
Lovely and stunning from flower to bulb
Oh how I dreamt...

Ya simdi
Inanilmazi  
Yasamak varmis 
Vatanini  koruyan
Ordusunun komutani
Teroriste olurmus

Ya simdi
Yeni  kurallar ve karanlik  gelecekler
Agzina bir parmak bal mi caldilar
Yarana biber mi  bastilar
 Acma agzini  karsiysan  da be kulum
Cezasi buyuktur...
