Melek Şen – A Timeless Place

>oiktozian: Melek Şen
Title of The Work: A Timeless Place
Original Title: Zamansız Bir Yer

In another universe, I’d like to know you.
In that garden where lemon trees take root,
I’d like to live you.

When the swallows migrate,
We knew that winter would turn to spring.
When the leaves turn yellow and fall,
We knew that autumn would turn to winter.
That the whole cycle of time would disappear
In that place where we kissed each other
I’d like to live you.

Our feet free, our hands together
The one where we rise from the ground to the sky,
I’d like to live you in a universe.

Even Love, it took me a long time to share it with someone else. Wasn’t it risky? Yes, it was. Was it a good outcome? Not really, but it was a good experience. But was life like that? Devamını Oku…

The sun hadn’t risen yet, and it was my custom to wake up in the dead of night. I was so burnt that I drank the water on the bedside table in one gulp. I heard somewhere that water has the ability to clear the mind and prevent headaches. I am telling you this in case it is useful for you too. Devamını Oku…
