Artan Gjyzel Hasani Poems

it would've been better

if we loved each other less
...

I am the sand inside your glass
I am the sand clock that measures your wasted time
...................................................................
each time you think I am done
you turn me upside down
...

stay like you are and do not change
even though it takes a lot of efforts

a woman is vapour in her natural form
warm
elusive
ethereal
...

it's been so long that we don't kiss each other
there are no more caressing...
no more arguing...
no cuddling...
...

our children are sleeping tight
sweet-dreaming on their beds
and they don't know that we also
are kids like themselves
...

dear dad,
today is mom's birthday
and now she is so old
but these verses are written for you…
...
