The Scream of Silence Şiiri - Osman Akçay

silence flows ceaselessly
into the hollows of my heart
even time forgets its own hush
slipping through my fingers like sand
the streetlamps feel it
the whisper of my soul

suddenly moonlight falls into my palms
cold and white
shadows stretch and scatter like breath
in the corner of the living-room wall
ın that instant my lips tremble
my verses begin to speak

while my heart shivers with loneliness
and images slowly wink at me
the storms inside me grow calm
poetry wraps its arms around me
warm as a woollen bed
tranquillity becomes my tongue

Dr. Osman Akçay (Seğmenoğlu)
