Don’t Eat, Don’t Pray, Don’t Love

My love

If we continue to consume each other

In love

They’ll lynch us too

And call it an accident

What Happens To The Day?

I love the way

After our endless hours

Of night-long arcane talks

At such intolerable distance

The dawn of silence

Breaks into a magnificent kiss

Touching us both

On our ravenous lips

If night belongs to us
I wonder
What happens to the day?

Red is Sun, Blue Square

The elliptical circles of our love

Fit exactly

Into the cubical squares of our togetherness

The sharp corners of our fights

Dissolve unhesitatingly

Into the amorous diameters of our nights

The circumference of our arms

And the overlapping spheres of our heads

Defy all the dangerous angles of this world

You and I

Together

Create the infallible geometry
Of absolute togetherness

Winter Is Coming...

You are my only secret
Even if I want to

I am hopelessly incapable

Of hiding you

You’re growing inside me

Like lilies grow in the valley

And not all seasons are good at secret-keeping

Spring is going to tell on us anyway

I just hope

Winter keeps its frosty mouth shut this year

Let Us Not Fight Anymore

Let’s be wise from now on

Let’s not fight anymore

The ribs of my anger are weak and old now

The joints of my fury are arthritic

Your ulcerated words are gnawing at my stomach

Your silences are threat to my coronary artery

I’m delusional about your powers over me

I’m suicidal when you don’t hug me

Psychotic when you stop kissing me

We can’t live like this for long...

So my love

Let’s be wise from now on

Let’s not fight anymore...

I Am Not Walking Away

I can’t walk away...

I can’t walk away from those couches

From those garden benches

From those overhearing tables

From those intimate coffee cups

From those night-long talks

From those unplanned untimely walks

From those unceasing laughters

From those relentless tears

From all those indelible memories

If I have to...

That would be walking away from life

And let me tell you, love

I’m not walking away from life

Never!

Love Will Save You Too

You damaged me in love

Like an innocently stubborn maiden

I broke the pot of my desires

To be with you

I chased my dream to darkness

To be part of your dreams

I changed my shape

My color

My language

My dress

To fit your naive egotistical ideals

I rebelled with what I had

To have whatever I could with you

I gave up the entire hope for living

So you could breath

Inside the protective space of my being

You sucked on my blood

Fed on my kindness

Made your life

At the cost of my comfort

But when I fell out of your spell

I was nobody

The forged image of my own lost identity

I lost everything I had...

And you thought that was your triumph

That being nothing is worse than being with you

And I would rather choose you

But you were wrong

Life isn’t your charity

Love isn’t your birthright

In the darkest hour of the night

Love shines like countless fireflies

Almost equal to the countless nights

I have cried for you

Today

When you and I stand alone

At this surprisingly convenient distance

I want to tell you

Love will come to you too

As soon as you open your heart to it

As honestly as you used to lie to me
