Love Tomorrow by Talat S. Halman

We shall love tomorrow
Red poppies will burst open in a mirage
Ending the pigeon’s night solitude

Tomorrow we shall love
Our moonbeams the envy of heaven’s light
And rain a downpour up to the sun

We shall love tomorrow
Hydrangeas will no longer suffer thirst
With the sea and the wind galleons will soar to God

We shall love
tomorrow

    • Thankfully there are gifted translators who make it possible for us to enjoy the work from other languages/cultures. This particular poet is also a translator of several volumes of Turkish prose/poetry.
