My beloved city Istanbul, Turkey - Sevdigim sehir Istanbul, Turkiye

I usually prefer not to upload videos or photos created by others but sometimes things you see capture your heart and soul and not sharing with you guys is inevitable.

While I was reading one of my favorite blog, Bir Mimarin Gunlugu, I come across this link in her most recent post and I did not have any choice but to share it with you.

This is my beloved city, Istanbul, Turkey.

Enjoy...


Aslinda baskalarinin fotograf ya da video larini siteye koymamayi tercih etsem de, bazen gordugunuz seylerin oyle etkisinde kaliyorsaniz ki, paylasmak kacinilmaz oluyor.

Sevdigim sitelerden, Bir Mimarin Gunlugu 'nu okurken verdigi link, beni oylesine etkiledi ki, ben de haddim olmasa da sizlerle paylasmak istedim.

Art

“In your light I learn how to love.

In your beauty, how to make poems.

You dance inside my chest,

where no one sees you.”

but sometimes I do,

and that sight becomes this art.

Mevlana Jalal ad-Din Rumi

Senin ışığında öğrendim sevmeyi.

Senin güzelliğinde şiirler yaratmayı.

Dans edersin göğsümün içinde,

herkesten saklı,

fakat, görürüm seni ben bazen,

işte bu sanat o manzara.

Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi

Beautiful Sky

Sometimes I just keep looking at the sky which always calms me down, gives me hope & joy. Hope you like these mosaics which I created using some of my favorite sky photos.
Enjoy the view of the sky.

Bazen gokyuzune bakmak hem umut, hem sevinc verir, hem de beni rahatlatir. Daha once cektigim gokyuzu fotograflarimdan olusturdugum bu kolajlari umarim begenirsiniz.
Keyifli seyirler.

I AM A POET, MY THOUGHTS ARE FREE

I expect no gifts from any, nor beg for wing or feather

In my own sky, in my own heavens, on my own I soar

To bow beneath slavery's collar weighs heavy on my neck

I am a poet, my thoughts are free, wisdom free, conscience free

Translated by Walter G. Andrews

Kimseden ümid-i feyz etmem, dilenmem perr ü bâl,
Kendi cevvim, kendi eflakimde,kendim tariim.
İnhina, tavk-ı esaretten girândır boynuma,
Fikri hür, irfanı hür, vicdanı hür bir şairim

Tevfik Fikret

Don't ask - Sorma bana

DON'T ASK

Don’t ask me who I am

Whence I came here

Which days the red clouds

In my eyes are from, don’t ask.

Inexplicable things

May indeed have occurred in the days bygone

I may have eaten the grapes

I stole from the vineyards

Leaning against the bosom of the blue sky.

Don’t ask me who I am

What my job is, how old I am

Just say “Do you love me?”

And ask no more.

Turgay Fisekci

SORMA BANA

Sorma bana kimim
Nerden geldim buraya
Gözlerimdeki kırmızı bulutlar
Hangi günlerden sorma.

Elbet olmuştur geçmişte
Açıklanamaz şeyler
Bağlardan çaldığım üzümleri
Yemişimdir yaslanıp mavi göğün göğsüne

Sorma bana kimim
Yaşım kaç, işim ne?
Bana “seviyor musun?” de.
Başka bir şey sorma.

Happy Chinese New Year

Gizlice Sevgilim

Rüyalar bile geceleri bekler
Gizlice görünmek için
Yüreğimdesin, saklısında içimin
Gizlice sevgilim


Kimse bilmesin üzgünlüğümü
Taşırım ölümüm gibi bu duyguyu
En gizli kuytularında ömrümün
Bir yer var gizlice sevgilimin uyuduğu


Gizlice sevgilim, yaşam kadar acı
Canımı tutuşturan özlem gibi
Özlüyorum derin yokoluşta
Gizlice sevgilimi




Secretly My Love

Dreams, even, wait for the night
to appear secretly
you, in my heart, in the secret place inside of me
Secretly my love


Nobody knows my sadness
I carry this feeling as my death
in the most secret quiet and secluded part of my life
There is a place where my love, secretly, sleeps


Secretly my love, bitter as life itself
As longing burns my soul
I yearn in this deep disappearing (life)
Secretly my love
