My Miracle Original in Turkish, Mucizem
**Original in Turkish** Mucizem Levent, bir rüzgâr gibi esti dünyama, Esintisiyle savurdu karanliklari. Bir adadaki isik gibi, yolumu aydinlatti, Oksijenim, havam—nefesim oldu varligi. Gelecegimi çoktan bilen büyüleyici bir ruh, Ovis’te oturmus, beni bekleyen bir kalp. Evren sesimi duymus, Ve mucizem, atesin isiginda dogmustu. Ince düsünceli, titiz ve zarif, Ceylan gözlerinde bin hikâye sakli. Seker suratinda bir gülümseyis, Hem masum, hem de biraz muzip. Tatli bir afacan, gözlerinde isik, Hem...

turkish thoughts
It is important to vary the landscapes, For the spirit to be happy, But what soothes a lover? The beauty of a mountain range, The purity of a river, the silence of a lake, It takes an inner garden to the soul, To grow roses, orchids, Daffodils and all kinds of sweets, Only the sun has authority over the heart of man. Il est...

To Turkish and Syrians
The world is shocked with a tragedy that has claimed too many lives In Syria and Turkey, the ground shook with strife Desperate souls left in its wake A dad's hand touching that of his daughter, too late We feel the pain of those who have lost loved ones Their hearts heavy, weighed down with the burden We send our thoughts...

Eftelya
Mavi kubbe, sana savurdu beni. Bedenimi çektin derinlerine. Dünya büküldü o an. Diplerindeyken ben, siyah sularin doldurdu cigerlerimi. Dalgalarin esir aldi ruhumu, ben fark etmeden. Billurlasti her sey, sana aitken benligim. Hiç oldum ilik rüzgarlarinla. Zamanin disindaydim sanki bedenindeyken. Yandim, alev aldi maviliklerin. Kayboldum, can verdim çakillarina. Söndüm, eftelyalar dogdu denizinde. Sonlardan en sonra kizgin kumlarina vurdum senin. Dünya dogdu o an....
