STROLLING VOİCE OF ETERNİTY,

He had revolted at in his human nature

By the destiny of God

Against to all common system

In his eyes blazing hatred

His whacked, furios posture

He was struggling imprisoned within the strength of mind;

Such mentalities by oneself were abundant in the circle of routine

They created civilizations, they formed minor Gods by theirselves

They worshiped initially for the idoles …

In the sequel, technology mauled their ego,

There were the bones of wars

In the middle of gory earth,

The deads were mourning in graveyards, here or there

For their resemblance to human-being.



In such manner,you were led to a distant planet

precisely by eternal will of God,

that illuminates civilizations.



Who is at the lookout for us

Within others destiny for the revelations?

Behold the wisdom of a secret that covers the souls,

In the temple of body

Whose vision that enter upon us

His voice in eternity travels thus.

UNENDİNG SONG…

A song is playing tonight…

We feel like we are listening to unending tranquillity

The night is constant incurable lullaby,

Philosohpy perhaps nothing else but merely conviviality of mind;

And Nietzsche* is a murderer who kills himself

In the garden of Zen*,

The memory of freedom was bounded

While it is emanating from intelligence subtlely in to intuition

Over again same song is perpetually playing

In to serenity for the symphony of emtinesss;

I perceive this is contrary trick of time,

This is altered face of someone who beseeches himself to unbuild

The stone hands of on-goings now are insensible and cold!

Standing upon in front of me like monuments that want to be destroyed.

We make a visit idolized temples in his garden:

It is called a philosophy that is strolling among us like a blindfolded victim

The rains, once again, will be dragged along a torrent

On its way new victims are gathering;

Thus I demand to get back all fires!

I have come back to earth to burn: The Sun!

It is not Prometheus* at all!

The new regime of whispers go around from ear to ear:

The enemies of the truth have founded new army

They imprisoned billions of the dead in to community prison!



Yet, I want to imprison myself this unending song,

In to something like bitter end

With whole my heart inwhich the roses blossom

I wish to enter upon sacred graveyard of divine universe!

.
* Nietzsche: German philosopher who lived in 19th century.

* Zen: The philospohy from the Far-East.

* Prometheus: Ancient Greek God.

POEM IN ENGLISH.
To Hamilton’s


ELEGY FOR MILLENNIUM

I am a dead philosopher,

Who picks up his bones from unwritten books?

Whenever I cuddle fossilized soils

I smell my soul

That chants

Old serenades of ancient theatres

Life! You are my unforgotten primadonna

My last melodrama!

----------------------------

I am a dead poet,

Who has not yet to be inspired?

Whenever I conceive ideas

I wear flowers on my body

That bloom

Future’s seeds of civilizations,

Art! You are my evergreen leaves

My begotten sins!

-----------------------------

I am a dead dream-maker

Who visualize the time?

Melting in to pottery

Whenever I reshape

The mirrors with mud

To hide my face, reappear

Inner space of solitude, Ages!

Sagacious holly places!

You are my best friends

My undiscovered traces!

----------------------------

I am a dead story-teller

Who hands down memories?

That enliven

The happiness of children

Whenever I caress

Unimaginativeness of people, I think of

Philosophy! Embodied thoughts,

You are my everlasting temptation

My contemplation!

--------------------------

I am a dead dervish

Who meditates unachieved oneness?

That twirls around in universe

Holly families!

Therefore I am writing to you

You are my ancestors,

Signs!

For God sake

Forgiveness!

The instinct of a man is to pursue everything that flies from him, and to fly from all that pursue him.
