THE HIDDEN TIME Arslan Bayır / Türkiye
Warm summer evenings
In the half dark nights
Pure body
Difficult to come even in a dream
Yellow color of the hay
Behind the dreams
That hide cherry red lips
Sad and dreamy
In the evenings
Of the wine foam
At the heart of the roast
A quiet and calm smile
Like a shy partridge
The blowing of the tulle in the wind
Like the night is kissing the moon
It all looks
In the hidden time.
THE REFUGE OF EMOTIONS IN THE SHADOWS OF THE EVENING Arslan Bayır / Türkiye
When the shadows of the evening fall
Through the curtains
The color of the walls is gone
The rooms
Hide emotions in their darkness
Telling their sadness
In the twilight
When the sun goes down
In the range of the evening
It goes down to the cheeks
Fluttering the eyeballs
Painting the dreams
In the color of silver.
All emotions are then awakenIn the very tired evenings.
