Deniz Atay Poems

With whom I dive below the sky
In the silver rain like a tranquil cry
Into golden seas - beyond the glow
I hear her eyes singing lullaby.
...

Your beauty once was gold -
Brightly sung
-From the soothing voice of dusk
To a hooting owl behind the mask-
...

Life is but a dream -
A day-night scene -
As we're still waiting
To be waken by somebody.
...

I thought I saw a somewhat-cloud,
Somewhat-wool, and some colors around:
'Twas an evening, but whoa!
What's that mournful vision called?
...

I

Come to me as a dream, 

Where flowers of dusk

...

If each breathe is a frozen sleep
If each exhale is a pleasure deep
And if blurs sail over the ocean
And my eyes; the only vision
...

I sometimes look at a pure beauty,
And I seek it above, that I can reach
Those touches of the brush, and feel it
Within my bluest sense and reddest desire.
...

Come to my garden and smell
The vivid mimosas
Each glimmer upon your spell
When yours is all roses.
...

Bir gül - her daim bir gül
Oysa gönüllerde
Bir elma da gül,
Armut ve erik de öyle,
...

Senin değilim, kaybolmadım sende,
İsterim kaybolabilmeyi
Bir öğle vakti yanan bir mum,
Denizdeki kartanesi gibi belki.
...

Dinlenirken sessiz, tozlu bir odada, 

Taş gibi ezilmiş, kumlar gibi gezinmiş, 

Küller gibi umutsuz; kuru, yıpranmış, kokusuz

Çayırlar ve bahçeler içimden geçiverir.


...

Yüreğimin ve zihnimin hayalleri geçer gider,
Hiçbir şey bende kalmaz çok,
Şarkısında duymuştum oysa
Bir çocuğun esrarlı avuntusunu;
...

Yalnız uykumda görürüm yüzlerini,
Küçükken oyunlar oynadığım çocukların,
Louise gelir ilkin, örgülü, kumral saçlarıyla
Annie belirir sonra, dağınık bukleleriyle.
...

I would be the echo in your thrill -
Merely a sound of the nature
A posy in your hands, or a chill
-maybe- in a distant pasture.
...

Olmadı ruhumun hiçbir hali,
Neşeli ya da kederli, parlak ya da kasvetli,
Ki sendin ateşinde dindiren beni
Ve veren bana ruhumun daha güzel halini.
...

Bırak unutulsun - bir çiçek gibi - unutulsun
Bir zamanlar altın sesiyle şarkı söyleyen ateş gibi
Unutulsun - geçmişte, şimdi, sonsuzlukta
Zaman, odur bizi yaşlandıran, şefkatli bir kardeş gibi.
...

When tender is the night, and the woods are deep
And the only light - as Orion's - piercing the dark,
Gazing a child in his sleep - child whomever he fears
He wishes he has gone, and left him to his sound sleep.
...

Time—in whose arms we drown
Under the moon semi mauve
And the waves turn upside down
As we're like a cloud and its rain;
...

I saw thee in a dream,
Around thou, there was no gleam..
Only thine! On a park down-town,
Amid the greenery, sown
...

Though I wait, and time overpasses by a mile
It still seems as a perfect lie
To me, that; the recent palate is transparent -
You never know it is to die.
...

Deniz Atay Biography

- The first thing I'm looking for in a work of art is originality. It's about seeing the unseen, catching things no other people caught before. This includes poetry. - Imagination is probably the copilot of this work which is the helper of our focus. From time to time, writing becomes a habit, just like a food that gives us energy. - My inspiration can be anything. Anything that interests me, anything that I have thoughts about.)

The Best Poem Of Deniz Atay

The Extant Song

With whom I dive below the sky
In the silver rain like a tranquil cry
Into golden seas - beyond the glow
I hear her eyes singing lullaby.

Like an old man's hand, the wind is slow
And the eyes are less merry than mellow
And the heart is dark, as a pearl so deep
And her silence is as white as snow.

But when she speaks in a pure short sleep
And hums her notes like lovebirds cheep
I find her words between the lines
I see her face in the garden I keep.

In her sadness I see her smiles -
Just watch how night goes by miles -
If beauty is one, hers in the coast -
Where she dreams, my heart there lies.
