The Sonnet I

the sorrow in your eyes are to familiar

in the walking nightmares

the season which time froze

the darkness is like a waste of dream

the sorrow in your eyes are to familiar

the sea which time kissed is messy

like the colour which reflected to the blood of word,

which sews it’s ripped

i think your heart over with my voice

i saw the fade away of your soul

TRANSLATED BY YASEMIN ÜŞÜMÜŞ

SONAT I

gözlerindeki keder çok tanıdık

yürüyen kâbuslarda

zamanın donduğu mevsim

rüya artığı resim gibi karanlık

gözlerindeki keder çok tanıdık

zamanın öptüğü deniz

sözün kanına yansıyan

söküğünü diken renk gibi dağınık

sesimle kalbini tarttım

ruhunun sönüşünü gördüm

The Sonnet II

you’re just value of your heart

past stain of the words

mark of the first sin

composed in your skin by me

TRANSLATED BY YASEMIN ÜŞÜMÜŞ

SONAT II

kalbinin ağırlığı kadarsın

sözlerin geçmiş lekesi

ilk günahın izini

teninde besteledim

ruhunun sönüşünü gördüm

The Sonnet III

you touched the time with your poem

the God calmed down

the letters used up

it was the magic of betrayal

trees which scatter with your look

were the disintegration of the mimosas

the price of fire

the fly of clouds

the eternity of your soul

TRANSLATED BY YASEMIN ÜŞÜMÜŞ

SONAT III

zamana şiirinle dokundun

Tanrı sakinleşti

harfler tükendi

ihanetin büyüsüydü

ruhunun sönüşü
