Abdullah Acar - *ı Wish I Were*

*I wish I were*

I wish I were the one who is loved
and read poetries in his face
under a scattering moonlight
in the drunk darkness in which
only the sparks of eyes glisten

In the far distances, in the skies
I wish I leant againist a plain tree
with roots hidden in clouds
and closed my eyes
far from everyone
far from everything

Or, I wish I were a phoenix
that dived into the blue deepness
landed on the acme of the Kafs
and found valley of Emeralds
