Tonight… Poem by Nilufer Dursun

My loneliness was set off by myself tonight,

I left my troubles to the hands of mirages,

I leaned the stone of my heart inside me bloody,

Because you’re absent, an echo, a trouble at everything,

I feel absence of you at these places, countries,

In this unjust city.



Without you, I feel darkness during day time,

At nights I embrace your longing instead of you,

I’m not able to fit into this ruined heart,

In my hands our longing is a fire of iron,

Screams resounding the night are in my heart,

My loneliness was set off by myself tonight…
