WHAT THE HECK

Recession before fall election

It was a picnic, a piece of cake

In this sharing there was offering

well meaning, it was a give and take

then the wind broke in smooth fashion

blew off the candles with a gentle breeze

when the going persisted, the storm arrived

the gale got hold, the flames caught the fumes

blowing them higher, the entire place was wrecked.

HAKKIN HESABI

Mertlik ve kahpelik çarpışırken kan gövdeyi götürür

Birisi gözünün içine baka baka hiddetini gösterir

Diğeri suratına güler, arkana geçer, sırtından vurur

şartlar eşit olmayınca, hakkın hesabı haram olur.

SUISTIMAL

Sadakat ve itimat, biri diğerine şart,

ihanet oluyor olunca itimat suistimal

Bunu idrak edince tedbir almalı insan

bekliyorsa sadakat, göstermeli iltimat

ihmal edersen olmaz, yok böyle dava

sadıklara sadaka, icab ederse falaka

verirsin hava civa, ederse biraz para.

SUBORIGINAL SCRIBBLING

Hands draw with no conscious direction
eyes automatically scrutinize this action
as the image is conjured out of the blue
I have zilch say in what comes through 
to find a meaning here will be up to you.

WHAT THE HECK

I have seen light in the darkest regions of my mind
Attracted as I am, I have not been able to go so far
Yet I have been aware there is a faint sparkle there
As I reach out, it pulls back, a tease, what the heck
I've put my neck in line, sooner or later I’ll get there.

JUST IN CASE

Should we look warily, it is possible to trace
At the edge of the fringe, in an obscured place
ghosts of faces emerge from an abstruse space
facing other faces with quaint expressions in case
their bleak subsistence should enter another phase.

INGRAINED

Infused from a future that stretches into eternity
into the here and now, an illusion with a destiny
a beginning and end, meanwhile given a choice
to be a number, name, having a proven identity
or not to be anything like you’re supposed to be.

SENSE & NONSENSE

It has been said that the unsaid will find voice
in between small talk, chatter and obscure noise 
precise yet simple wording is just a matter of choice
the hiatus should grant the perceiver a sense and poise.
