Yerin seni çektiği kadar ağırsın
Kanatların çırpındığı kadar hafif..
Kalbinin attığı kadar canlısın
Gözlerinin uzağı gördüğü kadar genç...
Sevdiklerin kadar iyisin
Nefret ettiklerin kadar kötü..
Ne renk olursa olsun kaşın gözün
Karşındakinin gördüğüdür rengin..
Yaşadıklarını kar sayma:
Yaşadığın kadar yakınsın sonuna;

Ne kadar yaşarsan yaşa,
Sevdiğin kadardır ömrün..
Gülebildiğin kadar mutlusun
Üzülme bil ki ağladığın kadar güleceksin
Sakın bitti sanma her şeyi,

Sevdiğin kadar sevileceksin.
Güneşin doğuşundadır doğanın sana verdiği değer
Ve karşındakine değer verdiğin kadar insansın
Bir gün yalan söyleyeceksen eğer
Bırak karşındaki sana güvendiği kadar inansın.
Ay ışığındadır sevgiliye duyulan hasret
Ve sevgiline hasret kaldığın kadar ona yakınsın
Unutma yagmurun yağdığı kadar ıslaksın
Güneşin seni ısıttığı kadar sıcak.
Kendini yalnız hissetiğin kadar yalnızsın
Ve güçlü hissettiğin kadar güçlü.
Kendini güzel hissettiğin kadar güzelsin..

İşte budur hayat!
İşte budur yaşamak bunu hatırladığın kadar yaşarsın
Bunu unuttuğunda aldığın her nefes kadar üşürsün
Ve karşındakini unuttuğun kadar çabuk unutulursun
Çiçek sulandığı kadar güzeldir
Kuşlar ötebildiği kadar sevimli
Bebek ağladığı kadar bebektir
Ve herşeyi öğrendiğin kadar bilirsin bunu da öğren,
Sevdiğin kadar sevilirsin...
CAN YÜCEL....
************************
If
It is not that important to leave and go
if it didn't leave gaps behind
that are impossible to fill.
Even the big separations are not that hard to endure,
if they were started at the best moment.
Crying is not something to be ashamed of,
if the tears are coming from the heart.
Stealing is not disgraceful,
if it is the heart of somebody that is stolen.
Love has nothing to be afraid of,
if one could get rid of all skins.
A known voice would not make one so upset,
if it was never heard.
The leakproof embraces would perhaps be forgotten more easily,
if they were not wrapped with passionate love.
The big hazel eyes would head to uncertainty as time passes,
if they didn't look so crazy.
It would perhaps be easy to forget the burning taste of a wet kiss,
if the heart did not press on the rib cage that hard.
The long night conversations could be replaced by something else,
if the last cigarette was not shared breath by breath.
It wouldn't snow even on the dreams,
if the fears had not wounded love in the battles.
Time, still as if it will never pass, would fly like an arrow,
if the one that's worth waiting for would come at the end.
Even the color of the hair in the dreams would fade away with time,
if their inexpressible smell had not stuck on the pillows.
Even that huge, that splendid end, death, would lose its meaning,
If everything worth living was already lived.
Loneliness would not be that unbearable,
If the final glimmer of hope had not faded away.
The spring sun perhaps would not heat this much,
if life did not start again after every loss.
It would perhaps not be necessary to smoke before breakfast,
if a giant wave of longing did not challenge.
Maybe the thin waist would remain in memories,
if even the shameless tea was not given in a thin-waisted glass.
Sleeplessness would not ruin that badly right after short naps,
if the silk skin to touch was not that far away.
Even a jobless home could turn to paradise maybe,
if it was heated by a warm smile.
Poems with the taste of aged wine would not feel as poor,
if there was someone to whisper them to.
It would perhaps not be possible to believe that every love hides a separation deep inside,
if it did not have on its calling card the label 'first degree perpetrator of so many separations'.
Daisies would not really look down,
if they did not have their shares from your betrayal.
Coasts would not surrender to solitude,
if you did not try to console yourself with aimless strolls on your own faint coasts.
I will be alone after you go.
and I am not afraid of being alone,
but what if I want to hold your hands...
Can Yucel....
