“And if happiness visits you again, do not remember its previous betrayal..Enter into the happiness, and burst!”

The most beautiful sea, hasn't been crossed yet.
The most beautiful child, hasn't grown up yet.
Our most beautiful days, we haven't seen yet.
And the most beautiful words, I wanted to tell you
I haven't said yet...
― Nâzım Hikmet

I can't promise to be calm,
dignified, and indifferent.
like a rock by the sea...
If my heart's going to break,
let it break from anger, grief, or joy.
― Nâzım Hikmet

Had I told the sea
What I felt for you
It would have left
it’s shores
It’s shells
And followed me

We were both silent,
as if there was a secret agreement between us,
but if you whisper a single letter,
I will scream and cry.

Look Milena,
"I love you the most." I say, but maybe that's not true love.
If i say, "You are the knife I turn inside myself", maybe I would be explaining true love.
And Milena,
I can bear anything with you in my heart.
| Franz Kafka

Bak Milena,
"En çok seni seviyorum." diyorum ama belki de bu gerçek aşk değildir.
"Sen bir bıçaksın ve ben hep o bıçakla kendime saplarım",dersem belki de gerçek aşkı anlatmış olurum.
Ve Milena,
kalbimde seninle her şeye katlanabilirim.
| Franz Kafka

بيني وبينك
ليالٍ صيفية
و لحن اهديته لك بالخفاء
وديوانٌ من حروف غزلية
وقهوة المساء
بيني وبينك شوارع لا تنتهي
وطرق مليئة بالغرباء
بيني وبينك همس واطياف
وقصص لا تحكى بالكلام
بيني و بينك نجوم الليل
و مطر الشتاء
و رياح الخريف
و زهور الربيع
بيني و بينك
اشتياق نيسان
و احباء ديسمبر
و سكارى يناير
بيني وبينك اسهم عشاق سامة
بيني وبينك لا شئ وكل شئ في آن واحد

Between you and me
Between you and me
there are summer nights,
a melody that I secretly dedicate to you,
a series of flirtatious poems and
the darkness of the night.
Between you and me
there are endless streets and
roads full of strangers
Between you and me
there is nothing and
everything at the same time
Between you and me
there are night stars,
winter storms,
autumn winds,
and spring flowers
Between you and me
there is the nostalgia of April,
December crushes and
January drunkards.
There are whispers and shadows between us
And stories that can't be told with words
Between you and me are the poisoned arrows of lovers.

A crusade that passed through me
While I was in the capital of gloom,
a crusade passed by in the form of a woman,
and the heart became under mandate,
unable to respond against the colonial power.
A mixture of sweetness and torment.
She has the face of an angel and the stab of a warrior who opens the bolts of consciousness.
She opens a door, enters the chest and struts in its left side,
and when the full moon appears from between the clouds,
she looks up as if she were looking at a mirror.
She took from the gazelle, impudence and suspicion,
and from the Arabian horses, heaviness and strut.
And now after her invasion,
I suffer from love, alienation, and ill fortune.
I am the hawk
I am the eagle
I am the poet
And she is my the punishment.
By : Jamal Bander

I saw you in my dream last night
I forgot what sorrows there were
Until I woke up to a second separation
If I knew that a dream brings us together
I would have closed my eyes for eternity.

"You should be more careful"
More careful?
Do you know what’s the big difference between you and I, dear brother?
I have no fear.
and you’re consumed by it.
Why don't you have a little chat with god?
Ask him why he turned you into a sheep
and me into a wolf.

Have you ever had a crush?
Have you ever felt a rush?
Makes my heart stop, she didn't even blush
And I got a crush
Oh man I got a crush
Got a psychedelic dagger in my heart, tell the paramedics to rush
I hate crushes, I cover bruises with paintbrushes
Pour it all in the music now that my bank's ruptured
She never texts me, she never texts me, she never texts me
Never texts me, she never texts me, forgot to text me
Well I guess we accept the ones that neglect us
And my moms say that we disrespect the ones that perfect us
And try to protect us
I really hope that you get this
My thoughts are weighin' me down
My neck can't handle the necklace
Your father says that I'm reckless, I didn't cause all that wreckage
had to give you this message
I wrote it straight from the soul and it didn't make sense to text it
So I snuck up in your room, put it on your shoulder and in return
You sent me back a restraining order.
Jaden - let it breath

“goodbye”
You called, you’re on the train, on Sunday,
I have just taken a shower and await
you. Clouds are slipping in off the ocean,
but the room is gently lit by the green
shirt you gave me. I have been practicing
a new way to say hello and it is fantastic.
You were so sad: you said “goodbye.”
All the shops were closed but the sky
was high and blue. I tried to walk it off
but I must have walked in the wrong direction.

First isolated moments
“Nothing is ever as beautiful as the first isolated moments with someone who might be able to love you — with someone you yourself might be able to love. There is nothing as silent as these minutes, nothing so saturated with sweet anticipation. It is for these few minutes that we love, not for the many that follow. Never again, they realize, would anything so beautiful ever happen to them. They might be happier, more impassioned, too, and infinitely satiated with their own bodies and with each other’s. But never again would it be so beautiful.”
Stig Dagerman, A Moth to a Flame (Burnt Child)

In my eyes, you seemed to lack a lot.
you lacked maturity, manners, and thought.
You also lacked worries, gloominess, concerns, or reasons to cry.
So whenever I looked at you…
I was annoyed.
