“It is obvious what the wind will do,
and so is the cloud.
Flowers, trees,
even birds;
it is even obvious what
the most unknown being will do.
However,
we know a being well:
it is not obvious
what they will do.

You happen to know:
they picked up roses,
and are giving them to someone.
And then you happen to know again:
the roses belong to the man they killed.”

“I wish to die in the daylight;
I need to know life is over,
I must think of a few people one last time.

What if, perchance, I die at night in sleep;
not knowing that my life is over,
without thinking about the rest for the last time;
Who will prove to me that I am dead,
when the last thing I remember is I fell asleep.”

“People stare at people,
until they find out what is on their mind;
Whereas no one is looking at us,
they apparently know what we think about.
Who cares about on what the hand is
or how to step on,
Ever since we took to the floor
everyone has found out what is inside of us.”

“Your love
ended because of you,
the unforgettable words of your sentences
echoed in your breakups.
Whereas I am a miserable sunflower,
why did my love end;
was not it me who fell in sun,
who looked at it sun after sun.
As time passed, I was filled with it,
I did not know time would be the end of me;
the merciful beam of the sun
got lacking on my face.
Why did the moon come between us
why was the sun eclipsed,
I know that
your breakups
happened because of you;
who decided
our end though.”
― Mehmet Çil, a Painting a Poem

tags: heartbreak, love, melancholy, sun, sunflower, time
