Select Works (poems) (2016-2026)

Summary:

Here are some poems I wrote, dates range between 2016 to 2026. Figured I should archive them somewhere. They tell of my fears, my shortcomings, my pains of being. Most of my works are either lost or too shameful to share, these are a select few I chose from the pile. Hope you enjoy it and remember as you read; that I was once where you stood. I shared your pain. I made the same mistakes. If you were to look into my eyes, and past my veil of being; you'd see nothing but a reflection of yourself.

I’d love any comments/criticisms you could give me. Much appreciated

Some poems are in Turkish. I will not translate them.

Notes:

Chapter 1: Ghosts

Chapter Text

Ghosts

Early May, calm before heat
Further east of busy streets
Rests a mountain, laid in pines (where)
Birdsongs of the robins chime

Past the fog of summer rains
And the breeze holds springtime haze
(of) Petrichor and earthy tastes
I saw shadows as I gazed:

Men of yore came eons back (and)
Passed these mountains, bare and scrag
False year, false hour yet same day
Some time ago early May

Men before men
Who came to be
Could they all love
As much as me?
The green of grass
The stones at ease?
The songs of robins
The warmth of breeze?

Could they also see
The ghosts of other men
Lost in the trees?
