Tarana Turan Rahimli
Again I can’t sleep
Again I can’t sleep
This night patience tests me.
The longest night of my life
At last will put an end of me.
The memories will awaken,
Seeing me that I am awake.
Oh, how many people will run to
me
Through the corners of my past.
So many guests
Won’t go in my thoughts.
One of them will break the rules
And will quarrel with all of
them.
Again the sunless days
Will be covered with grayness.
Once I interrupted the tongue
Now it will try to put me to the
sword.
The blood of the dead wishes
Will be splashed on my face.
In the north of this night
This poem will be frozen.
It May Be Good To Lose This Life…
It may be good to buy a shroud
And cover all your sorrow in it.
It may be good to shed tears of
your eyes
Into your own grave.
It may be good to lose this life,
And then find it in the half of
life
And let something be left
Amidst you and the years.
It may be good to guard the night
No sleeping, no dreaming.
It will be good if you knew at
the end
That it was the life once you
lived!
All The People Talk Nonsense…
All the people talk nonsense
In this feverish city.
The people think of themselves,
The city is choked with sorrow.
The clouds are frowned
They sweep the streets.
The winds are so angry
Their right and left side are
unknown.
This city is luckless beauty,
Its face smiles, but hart doesn’t
smile.
It is like a dressed bride
Nobody is aware of her grief.
It lost all its patience,
It is looking for patience on the
ways.
It looks for a grave
For to empty its sorrow into it.
