Two Poems by Mehmet Rema

Where Night Divides Day

In a segment of Via Roma,
To the beautiful gallery, where souvenirs are sold
A couple of street artists, all elegance
They danced;  a waltz oh what magical art!
Under the sweet sounds of the Danube Waves
I was haunted, in the elegance of the lady
I didn't feel like someone was speaking on my behalf

How long we had not seen each other!
For a moment I did not recognize the smiling face.
Barbell in place, I called memory
Before me the moon with silver rays landed

In her eyes, cheeks, lips and neck
Via Roma laughed in front of me.  I laughed that day
You soon forgot me, she said
And on my side my sorcery was thrown...
My arms met the sky
I asked him where he is coming from and where he is going?
He saw me, looked at me, smiled and said:
You and I have the same path
We walked slowly through via Roma
Fashion shops, souvenir shops
The whole world was sitting next to us
From the starry sky I saw the beautiful Nadir

Someone put a hand on my shoulder
What I looked at, my heart jumped out of place
A man in a tailcoat and top hat
Before us magnificent he, Pushkin
Hurry up, he told us, because Tchaikovsky is waiting for you
Sitting by the lake where the swans dance

Tchaikovsky's swans in the spectacle with the stars
The great thoughtful man in the armchair where
Esenin was drinking coffee with two friends
And he thought "King in pants"
Pushkin in the ball was drinking a glass of wine
Above us like spring raindrops
The tears of the willow fell on the Strada del Francese
Nadiri was proud to have approached and stood on Superga
gazela was looking into my eyes
Her eyes a shining universe
I asked him how he hadn't forgotten me
-Time never heals the wound of a heart-
There I knew the true power of a hope.
The sky sat as I caressed him as if he were a child
No clouds, no fog, but the stars that shine endlessly
We count the petals of a sheep's flower in vain
He danced via Roma that evening, 
enjoyed the Strada del Francese
The angel on my side had taken me
They flew together where memories took us
She was talking to me about the tandafilas I was giving her
I remembered, I remembered her smiles
In that beautiful evening filled with dreams
We didn't understand when the night was separated from the day.


Colors of Flowers in the Garden

In a flower garden with a thousand colors
Each flower has its own soul
Remember that flowers do not speak
With the language of the soul they express love

There is always a ray in the eyes of a dream
You have seen a dreamy soul
He looks like a violet...a rose...
From whose petals emanates the fragrance of love

How many loves are born from a flower
From a bouquet a heart beat hard
Do not say that flowers do not love
As long as they cause love to arise between people

Thousands of flowers, thousands of colors in flower gardens
Transient people pass carelessly
Their eyes perceive colors
Each one resembles a heart

The colors of the flowers in the flower garden
In their silence they extinguish hatred
Try spending some time there
In moments of anger, connection or pain

Flowers get color and fragrance from love
And distribute it to passersby
Don't pick the flowers but enjoy the beauty
Then tell me what you learned from them
Go to the flower garden when your soul aches.
