here
the sun
rises
to see you
again
other writing
in Altunizade
one lone man
eating cheese cake
drinking cay
to my way
on the piano
11pm
in Altunizade
breakfast in Moda
menemem
and cappuccino
sun light breeze
waiting
for the promise
of the day
waiting for dawn
by the shore
chill on bones
birds in air
waves against rock
wind on face
soon
night will end
and dawn
will light the world
again
like some horror movie
it is always
the same
like a specter
in some horror movie
there you appear
stalking me down
once again
words on the page
the pain
in my heart
words on a page
I should not
have read
seeing you
I saw you
again
the throbbing
is there
still
so strong
I wonder
did it ever go
away
every time
there is that crack
in my chest
every time
you cross your legs
and hold my gaze
if only you knew
every time
this time around
this lifetime
a summer a fall
a winter a spring
let it come
sights worth seeing
this time around
again
memories and faces
there they are
again
and again
fading in
fading out
those faces
these feelings
long buried
resurfacing
once twice more
