Losing Dreams
written by:Kubilay Akman
Category: none
in thunderstorm, with incalculable disappointments
you are tired in vicarious loves, viscous yesterdays
and lost tomorrows
you starve for a bit of silence
in the middle of this mushy story
so soapy
strikes, uppity shadows
from labyrinths of moldy books
all the mirrors in your heart
worn-out, worn-out
reflect nothing
except
insolent smiles of death
his faces are so harsh
for you, zonked loser
through violet houses, suspicious playbills
who plays the most frightening betrayals
who plays the steaming sins of wheezy memories
through the mystic words of some old tales
an ancient beauty is shining for you
a girl with lynxes
calls you
on a bridge, over precipices
you see the girl smiles
on the edge
eyes of lynxes sparkle for you
shining rubies, emeralds, diamonds
over precipices, speechless
on the other edge the lynching crowd
is getting closer and closer
the most cryptic situation,
solution is impossible with your semiskilled hands
this is not the time for spendthrift hesitation
precipices
suffice you
looser pawn of all games
loser, not able to pass
ajar doors
not able to swaddle future and past
loser, precipices are the last throne
for each piece of your defeated body and soul
