Sestiniz, sesinizden başlardı gece

Sofada serili elişi

bir gece, kök boya

yazlar, çocuk anılar

Arka bahçede kesik

koç başları, ocak başında

acıkmış sokak

Yastık altında bayram

ayakkabıları, bol

saten fistanlar

           

Ne zaman geçti o vakitler

heyhat! hani heyecanlı

çocuk umutları?

Acının sırrını kazır kırık

bıçağıyla şimdi, sabır

küpünde demlenir geceler

You were the voice with which started the night      

            

A night, handmade embroidery

layed on dinner table,

alizarin summers, child memories

In the backyard

sacrificed ram heads

hungry street beside the fire

           

Under the pillow

festive shoes, ample

satin kirtles

Alas, whenever passed that time!

where are the ardent

hopes of childhood?

Nights brewed in the jar of patience

now, scratch with their broken knife

the silvering of grief

Hi Hilal,

your poem is unpublished, right?

Thanks also for the Turkish version of  'You were the voice with which the night started'👍

Cheers
