She illumines the earth, Her three eyes moon, sun, and fire flashing light.

Sen, ben ve de sahil kenarında küçük bir ölüm. Her şeyin sonunda oraya, yan yana gömerler belki bizi. Çocuklar kumdan kaleler yapar üstümüze, bir kadın cesurca bırakır kendini hırçın denize… senin için kül olmaktan vazgeçtim. Rüzgarın kuyruğuna tutunmak yerine, şimdiki gibi çürümeyi seçiyorum. Fedakarlığımı anlıyorsun ya?

The first to fall
A distracted poem about Custodes, Valdor and the Emperor. :)
~~~~~
The first snowfall after you,
I thought it would never end
I remember the rock, the first time
It was black, like oil
The wind, it howled
Blasphemies, treacheries, it promised that I would be free
(We chose this death)
(We needed no promises)
It burned alive
Louder than death
The first snowfall after you,
I thought it would never end
The first Throne before you
We thought it would never end
We thought you’d never die, 
never fall, never lose 
And our duty would never end
The snow melts before your golden gaze,
and I linger in that embrace.
King, always
Master, now
Emperor, may You reign forever
The sun caresses your hair
(It does not dare displease you)
I remember the snows, my lord
It was pale, like bone
It was pale, like the strangled storm,
When we betrayed them, butchered them, 
Crushed them beneath the bones
Of the mountain
(We did not dare displease you)
For you, my lord
For you, the laurels of the slaughter
Just to see your face
The sunlight
It drapes itself, it dances in your dreams
Your shadow eclipsed the moon
It bathed with beauty in the red sands of Mars
And became the sky
It slept with the stars themselves
The first snowfall after you,
I thought it would never end
The first mourning after you
I wanted it to never begin
I carried you home after your vengeance
I can't forget how you bled
We can’t forget,
Holding your corpse
Your bones
In our conjoined arms
(I was your son, my lord.)
(I built your fortress.)
(You treated us like cattle.)
It's warmer than our souls
It’s purer than our knives
Forget the cold
Forget the frost
Forget the gold of your tomb
Do kings love?
Do you love us, our lord?
We obeyed,
I obeyed
The last order
You gave me
I ran
(I died for you, my king)
Ra
A fool
A sacrifice
A love, you lost, my lord
Are we not master and slave?
Heavy is the head that bears the laurel
Glorious is the hand that holds the chain
The first snow after you
Walking the steps alone, my brothers abandoned, 
My spear forgotten, 
my armors, symbols of office cast aside
I thought it would never end
Crowned myself a crown in yellow
(For you to reign, my lord)
Crushed the storm, beneath gold and knives
(For you to reign, my lord)
Valdor
The loyal dog
Keeper, captain, guardian, slave
To bring down the sun
(To protect you from its warmth)
To stem your blood with our hearts
To steal away the sea
(To protect you from its salt)
To burn us, to stave off the cold
Emperor. King. God. Sorcerer. Warrior. 
Master. 
Our lord
Our god
King of the storm
(Executioner of the thunder)
King of the sun
(Scoured the night before His gaze)
The first night after you,
I thought it would never end
In a hundred thousand years
We will be dust
And you will be king

Bir gülüşün kaldı,,gözlerimde hayal olarak..
Birde kokun bahçemdeki gülde..
Arasıra öpüp kokluyorum, hiç unutulmasın diye.
Arasıra konuşuyorum..birazda gülüşünden koyuyorum üstüne tam oluyor.
Sonrada rüyalara dalıyorum..sen rüyalarımda.. Tamam diyorum o benim..🌷

UNDELIVERED LETTER ( to : mama )
freestyle poetry / prose
a/n : might delete later i cried like 3 times writing this el o el
Tumblr media
if i were a child again, i would be lying on the bed frame of my grandmother’s 8-levelled apartment in china. an old, wooden thing, my body separated by nothing but a thin sheet, small bones of my frame aching. for some reason, there was no mattress in that room.
a singular fan whirls loudly above, the white planes coated in speckles of dust and rusted metal.
the air is humid from the afterthought of rain, and the fabric chequered with knockoff cartoons sticks to my skin.
still, i sleep comfortably, dreaming of rainbow-frosted cakes and dozing kittens.
still, i will complain about it the next day, and my parents will relent and nestle the small body of a child between the two of them in the hotel room.
if i were a child again, my mother would still love me.
i see the way her face contorts at cropped t-shirts and tomboyish haircuts. how her lip curves downwards at my willingness to stuff and bundle my skin into too-tight clothes. the way she mourns the body of a child she could once carry in her arms and raise to the sky, sunlight blazing against long, dark hair.
now it’s too tall, lanky. bones jutting out awkwardly in her hold.
miserable in the new temperament, the venomous words spat at her that a child would never know the existence of yet. the skin of her hand crackles, wrinkles pinching at the joints from the chemicals in the laundry detergent, from the relentless scrubbing at a stain that will never leave. the hand reaches out towards her daughter still, and she runs, further. hair that slips through her fingers is chopped off.
she loves me still, tolerates the tantrums, buys the clothes, and pays for the haircuts.
she prefers the child.
my mother always preaches how similar i am to my father, the slope of our noses, the glimmer of dark pupils.
we both know i am more like her. the silvery laughter, the poisonous words. the ways our faces both darken at the sight of each other. or perhaps that is my wistful thinking.
which daughter does not idolise her mother?
mother. mom. māma. carve me out from your womb again. i will be the daughter you want. i will learn to speak your dialect, i will play the guzheng that you never had a chance to learn. i will be softer, gentler, prettier, intelligent but not audacious, and hold my tongue when i speak. i will wear the dresses you like, and my hair will tumble to my hips, braided by your hands. i will be everything you couldn’t, and everything you sacrificed.
i don’t fear anything else in the world.
māma, please don’t hate your daughter for growing up.

BANALATA SEN
Tumblr media
চুল তার কবেকার অন্ধকার বিদিশার নিশা
মুখ তার শ্রাবস্তীর কারুকার্য,
অতিদূর সমুদ্রের পর
হাল ভেঙে যে নাবিক হারায়েছে দিশা,
সবুজ ঘাসের দেশ যখন সে চোখে দেখে
দারুচিনি-দ্বীপের ভিতর,
তেমনি দেখেছি তারে অন্ধকারে
বলেছে সে, এতদিন কোথায় ছিলেন?
পাখির নীড়ের মতো চোখ তুলে
নাটোরের বনলতা সেন।
~ জীবনানন্দ দাস
*⁠.⁠✧ *⁠.⁠✧ *⁠.⁠✧
Her Hair Was Full Of The Darkness
Of A Distant Vidisha Night,
Her Face Was Filigreed With
Sravasti's Artwork. As In A Far-off Sea,
The Ship-wrecked Mariner,
Lonely, And No Relief In Sight,
Sees In A Cinnamon Isle Signs
Of A Lush Grass-green Valley,
Did I See Her In Darkness;
Said She, "Where Had You Been?"
Raising Her Eyes, So Bird's Nest-like,
Natore's Banalata Sen.
~ Jibanananda Das

Kime göre neye göre?
Anlatmak isteyip anlatamamak, içinde kalmasına yol açmak... Sence doğru olan bu mu? Doğru olan ne peki? Kime göre, neye göre? Anlatmak istediğin konuya göre... Ama içinde kalması ileride "KEŞKE" dememenin bir yolu belki de. Hislerini saklamak, varlığından, kokusundan uzak olmak... Neden içinde tutar ki insan? Neyden korkar mesela? Reddedilmek? Ters tepki almak? Kırılmak, üzülmek, acı çekmek?.. Hayatın içinde sadece mutlu olmak mı vardır sence? Hayır tabii ki de. Acı çekmezsen, üzülmezsen, kırılmazsan, düşmezsen sen, sen olamazsın. Bu hayatta ne kadar çok mutluluk duygusu yaşasak da üzülmemiz, düşmemizde gerekiyor. Düşmezsek kalkamayız. Düşünce kalkmayı öğrenmeli insan... Üzülünce, acı çekip bu acıyı da atlatmayı öğrenmeli. Sen düşünce kalkmayı bildiğinde işte tam o zaman gerçek "SEN" olursun.

Czemu ludzie są na mnie źli?
Ten szum
Niepokoj
Rzeka myśli w głowie
Utopiona ja
Niepokoj
Strach po sobie
Czemu tak się boję
Czemu tak na mnie patrzą
Co zrobiłam źle
Gdzie popełniłam błąd
Coś znowu jest nie tak
Zgubiłam się na nowo?

kentin sokaklarında kendimle karşılaştım
hayatta gibiyim ama coşamıyorum. kelimeleri bağlıyorum. yazılara şiirlere sarılıyorum. nefes alıyorum, iyi sanıyorlar.
yürüyorum kendimin sokaklarında, düşen her bir yağmur damlasında seni arıyorum. bulamıyorum.
düşüyorum kendi doluluğumun boşluğuna. kendimi arıyorum senin her bir hayal kırıklığında. daha iyi görüyorum kendimi, senin gözünden.
uyukluyorum kasabanın en ücra köşesinde. uykularıma seni sarıyorum. çekiyorum içime. kafam seninle güzelleşsin diye.
oturuyorum kenarında denizlerinin. koyuyorum iki kadeh şarabı, arayabilmek için bedenindeki en hassas noktayı.
geçtim kağıdın başına. aramak için aşkımızın dokusunu, yansıtabilmek için. beceremedim.
yattım koynunun en rahat yerine. duymak istedim kalbinin mırıltılarının içinde ben var mıyım diye.
göçtüm en güzide şehrine. içinde masmavi bulutlar ve deniz olan bir yer. gözlerini andıran ormanlar. büyülü

My words are not mere ink spilt on paper. It has a face, a shapely form. It it yours, all my words have your face, your body. I am the writer and you, my poetry. So long as there's ink in my pen and words in my head, you will live forever.
A bilingual piece I wrote a few years back, in both English and Turkish, which I redid to music. Music is by Cengiz Özkan.

scars dont last forever. (thankfully) nor do people.
By: J
vauge tw; i wrote this bc i over think fucking everything. ikitai by shimon has saved me once again /srs
again. keep in mind i dont reread most of this stuff.
this would be better suited on my main but since its writing.
Ah, fuck.
im getting really tired of the game i play with myself
constant abuse
its nothing new
smoking and drinking myself to near-death
its nothing new, almost like second nature.
those hateful words that he spewed,
those mean jabs that she said,
acting as if i dont take them to heart.
XXX is this
XXX is that
its all a bunch of nonsense in the end.
you tell me to stop drinking, stop smoking
i consider it thrice
giving it chances
i feel like i never change.
you calm me down
saying how i deserve to live
its something i could almost believe.
Her piling up lies
his non-existent self respect,
it all comes crumbling down in the end.
XXX is this 
XXX is that
without noticing im.
when they beat me down
you gave me life.
when they cut me up 
you cleaned the wounds.
purposeful or not.
i cant help but wonder.
‘that jealous- self serving- selfish zealot’
‘the one they always wanted.’
wouldnt you know all about it?
after all. 
they miss you.
they hate me. 
XXX is this
XXX is that
I dont need reassurance from the dead
acting like XXX is-
you dont know -
i watched you question over and over again.
“Who are you” 
repeated more everytime.
XXX isnt this
XXX doesnt know you
that name.
isnt yours to hold onto.
I cant help but wonder, do you care?
