Pain Pain, on my heart, Writes a song In the veins of song Runs separation In the rain of separation Rains poison In the goblet of poison Floats your memory On the doorsteps of memory Sits pain And pain, on my heart, Writes a song. Pain, on my heart, Writes a song From the branches of song Fall dreams In the desert of dreams Wanders life In the hug of life Sleeps melancholy From the womb of melancholy Births pain And pain, on my heart, Writes a song. Pain, on my heart, Writes a song On the pages of pain Are spread you and me The love of you and me Is hanged by a noose From the twists of the noose Drips blood From blood stained earth Springs pain And pain, on my heart, Writes a song. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Poem Written In Helplessness Before sleeping I read a book That keeps me awake In my dream… After waking up I read another book That maintains my wakefulness In my unawareness… The right to choose sleep or wakefulness Is not granted to me But I have to choose Either falsehood or death… I choose falsehood… Feeding the poison of breaths To a false life I live cowardice… After becoming coward and false The affection of gods Is declared forbidden for me Because my betterment Is conditional to my eternal loneliness… Fleeing from loneliness I go towards people… Giving me even more loneliness People cut off my feet And erase all paths of my return… Tiredly I go and sit at that place Where ultimately I shall be murdered… Before murdering me I shall be sewn Inside the skin of ocean And after murdering me I shall be buried Inside a cloud Made up from my breaths… “I would have never forgiven my murderer If there was someone To avenge my murder” ### -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
