I miss you and wake up
at the midnight
Then I try to fall asleep
in the candlelight.

Often you come to my nightmare
to make me afraid
Then my tears give me a pleasure
to become staid.

I can't sleep till the morning
and then I melt in daylight
I work nicely till the evening
but I find you in the twilight.

I don't want the starry night
when you aren't with me
I don't need the moonlight
where you aren't at the sea!

I can't stop missing you
I can't stop loving you
Could you heal me, please!
I'm tired of this silent fight!

Freedom, freedom,
where is my success?
You forgot the past and became a selfish
Is that ****** victory for this?

You know as well,
why freedom fighters took the weapons
and sacrificed their lives
in the war of independence
for a great victory!
Where did you lose that passion and love?

Those warriors who left their homes
and slept in the deep forests
This dream was in their minds -
'Homeland, you'll be on a high peak with respect'!

I have forgotten the green dream of the martyrs
and I'm going to be a slave to someone else!
Have I realized that-
The risk of defense has increased day by day!

Why am I subservient even after independence?
Why is there so much inhuman torture on me!
Why is my life insecure and helpless!
When will there be a full rise of freedom?

My stone of pain and the sea of sin
Take them away!
Happily in my rhythm,
let your great tune on!

The darkness and the sorrow of mine
Move them away!
In my heart and tears,
let your fears retain!

All my lies and my abuses
Throw them away, please!
In my words and promises,
let your faith walk in!

The pain of my broken heart and dreams
Keep them away, God, take them away!
Every day in my good work,
let your holy name say again!

Your sun rises in the morning
to make my daylight
and I look for the evening
'cause your moon draws my night!

I got your smell through the wind
on a summer afternoon
I found you for the first time
at the blue lagoon.

I always follow your shadow,
is it alright?
Maybe I am falling for you;
My wish, you will never mind!

You are sitting alongside me,
but no one can see;
You are the light to guide me
and you're my love at first sight!

Some poems seem to write
themselves;
I just move the pen.
Others, are like lumps
of clay;
they refuse to be molded;
they need moisture and time.
This one is like
a robin that just learned
to use its wings.
It heads west, on a
gentle breeze, into
a tangerine sky.

Like humans, day's have a shape. But we don't know in what shape our future is waiting to greet us.

~
pureland flower, always
twisted into someone else's
creation, never of her own
~
volition, breakable eggshell,
quiet and still, lifeless
from pushing boundaries,
~
a color without color, lifted by
the breeze, folded up neatly,
no wonder why nowhere to fly.

I will write for you
one more poem
I will sing for you
another love song.
If you like them
and think of me again,
then forget your pride, darling
Say goodbye to your pride!

I will smile at you
if I am hurt
I will sit next to you
and forget my sore
If you like it
and feel my heart
then forget your pride, darling
Say goodbye to your pride!

I will be the evening star.
I will be in your eyes.
I'll come in your dream
and brighten your face.
Even if you don't love me
then smile a little bit more
and forget your pride, darling
Say goodbye to your pride!
