“short poems” review/redo March 2016 #3
Short Poems V.56
My face is naturally depressive. (Even before the tragedy)
Please don’t force me to smile, it is a painful act. (And sometimes unnecessary)
Let my face rest in its furled brow and piercing eyes. (I still see just fine)
I do not scowl for intimidation. (Though sometimes it’s a perk)
It is simply my nature. (Let nature be)
Do not ask nature to change. (Let nature be)
Why does it have to be so damn complicated all the time???
As mornings
blurred into evenings,
the fool wondered
where the will
to chase his dreams
went.

I’m not sorry
For becoming
This person
Made of
Soft curves
And a swollen
Tongue
That vibrates
The truth—
I loved you then
Before her arms
Made a ring
Of contentment
Around the chest
I used to sleep on,
When the words
I love you
Meant more than
A whisper of guilt
On a conscious
That knows
What it did
To break me,
I may have
Lost you
Between delicate
Sunsets
And strikes
Of lightning
But in the
Brightness
I found myself—
This person
Made of
Strength
And resilience,
Capitivated
By the possibility
Of a new
Beginning.
-C.A.
How beautiful is the sight of moonlight, scattered around dark clouds?
How beautiful is the sight of glimmering stars that adorn the sky?
Diving in the long stretch of the night sky,
I escape.
I escape from reality.
Away from all worries.
Alone, yet not lonely.
Some tears, yet happy.
Things here seem better….

Dawn Revisited
Rita Dove
Imagine you wake up with a second chance: The blue jay hawks his pretty wares and the oak still stands, spreading glorious shade. If you don’t look back, the future never happens. How good to rise in sunlight, in the prodigal smell of biscuits— eggs and sausage on the grill. The whole sky is yours to write on, blown open to a blank page. Come on, shake a leg! You’ll never know who’s down there, frying those eggs, if you don’t get up and see.
Persephone, Falling
One narcissus among the ordinary beautiful flowers, one unlike all the others! She pulled, stooped to pull harder— when, sprung out of the earth on his glittering terrible carriage, he claimed his due. It is finished. No one heard her. No one! She had strayed from the herd.
(Remember: go straight to school. This is important, stop fooling around! Don’t answer to strangers. Stick with your playmates. Keep your eyes down.) This is how easily the pit opens. This is how one foot sinks into the ground.
–Rita Dove, from Mother Love
Yeğlediğimiz insan, kendi yüreğimizin çizgilerini taşıyan kişidir.

“How difficult it can be to articulate one’s own desires when one was raised to fulfill the needs of others. How selfish the words I want to can sound if one was raised to believe that only the wishes of others mattered. How cruel a confession of love can sound when the words were only used to enslave somebody. How frightening it can be to feel a hand on one’s back when hands only did harm.”
