Kuzeyli Rüyalar
Gün doğuşunda gel Kuzeyden
Şile beyazı askılı akşamları giyinip
Bekliyor olacağım verandasında ayrılığın
Giyotine göndermek için
Günahkar pişmanlıklarımı bir bir
Söz
Gün doğarken gel
Yeter ki gel
Kuzeyden
Rem
Yerinden kopuk rüyalarımın
Kaçak seyyahı
Acıtıyor biletsiz girişlerin
Kavuruyor bedenimi Jeannne d'Arc alevi
Her gece aynı yerde peydahlanıp
Ama sen
Gelmelisin Kuzeyden
Taç yapıp papatyaları
Yağmurlar gözlerimde üşürken
Bıraktığın yerdeyim
Havaalanında
Unutulan bir valizin içinde
Ya da düette
Serengeti aslan kükremelerine
Massai Mara çöllerinde
Ne fark eder?
Buradayım işte
Ama gelmelisin
Herşeye rağmen
Kuzeyden
İçimde Niagara gibi
Akarken derinliklere
Ama
Mutlaka
Mutlaka
Kuzeyden
Beyazlar içinde…
Vaha

Masal
Burkar iimi bir sz

Sanki peri padiahnn kz
Bu kadar naz sabr kalmaz
Etme ne olur
Sarkar iime bir hasret
imde durur
Sanki anka kuu musun mbarek
Kavurup kasp srra kadem basp
Gitme ne olur
Masal bu ya oldu ya
Cezbime tutuldu ya kama
Byle biri karna ka kere kar*2
CHORUS
Geldi deli efkarn iimi sard
Gir sinemin sinemin iine yar
Bak ya oldun didemin ucunda varsn
Ak sinemim sinemin iini sar

Burkar iimi bir sz

Sanki peri padiahnn kz
Bu kadar naz sabr kalmaz
Etme ne olur
Bu hayal meyal masal hep okuduum mu
Seni ejdarhann elinden alp koruduum mu
Hani kahramanlar gibi sevecekken seni
Masal bitti ya akacak bak farketmedin mi
CHORUS
Yalnz varsz demektir
Elsiz kolsuz demektir
Kalan yalnz kalrsa
Giden insafsz demektir

our Cycles Of Sleep!
**OUR CYCLES OF SLEEP!
The Neurologists often speak, of five different
stages of sleep!
Sleep generally commences in a light state, -
When the brain triggers high amplitude
‘theta waves’!
And after some five to ten minutes, rapid bursts
of ‘sleep spindles’ flow, -
Which lasts for some twenty minutes or so!
Next we float on to a transitional phase, -
When the brain triggers ‘delta waves’, -
And we float between a light and deep sleep
phase!
Soon we get submerged into ‘delta sleep’, -
With Non-Rapid Eye Movements, - going
into deep sleep!
And with some people it has been seen, bed-
wetting, or sleepwalking, -
Often occurs during the end of this phase!
Finally comes the REM* stage when we dream, -
When increased respiration and brain activities
are seen!
But despite our active mind, our voluntary
muscles remain paralyzed!
This REM stage is said to increase, with the
progress of our night’s sleep!
And when the night grows dark and deep, -
These stages of our cycles of sleep, -
Breaks away from these sequential stages !
When after the fourth stage, comes the third
and second phases, -
Repeating themselves till the day breaks!
When finally after our REM dreaming state, -
We once more begin to gradually awake!
-Raj Nandy

(*REM= Rapid Eye Movement: dreaming phase!
Based on various articles.Prelude to my next
poem about sleepwalking!)

Ghetto Queen (feat. Crucial Conflict)
(feat. Crucial Conflict)
Crucial Conflict come out and play, hey come on
Crucial Conflict, Kelly and Rockland, collabo'
Funny faces is all I see
At my place, you on top of me
Playin' strip poker, sippin' Cristi'
I grip your shoulders, you sqeeze the sheets
I'm admirin' your heart shaped booty
Nothin' in your oven, baby feed me now
Who's is this, who's is this, who's is this
Who's is this, who's is this, who's is this
My ghetto queen
[1] - You're my ghetto queen
Right around the way from me
Watering those ghetto trees
We be high just like them weeds
Might be ghetto but you queen to me
That's how it's suppose to be
Do whatcha gotta do for me
Forever fulfill your fantasy
When you think of me, have your cream
Everything my team must to do one thing
You're the meanest queen on the scene
Make a player 'fien and be havin' dreams
For real, it's real as it seems
You bring the trees, I'll bring the B's
Begin to freeze on to me, you can scream to please
Plus I'm ready now, take a stand, got me on Rockland
I can be your freaky man, you can climb in, suck a 10
Want some ends? You outta there
No more funny face, put you in your place
Come be the dinner, I'm a bring a plate
She's my ghetto girl in her own world, she's a queen
Queen of all things, for that I mean she's Spring
Personality rings bells in my dreams
Night to dawn, light spread tight, let's swing
Grip it in motion, wet coastin' with a little bit of ridin' rough
Up and down we stroke, strokin' puttin' things in her pocket is fat
But watch her stay cool, calm and collected
Flexin', check it, never was on that stressin'
Cuz she bring that hay for the day, what a blessin'
Right around the way from me
This ghetto queen got up with a king
Keep it clean and in essence
[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]
[Kilo]
Where the players live
Have to deal with the Macks
Like the traps in the concrete jungle

Med et Bundt Cigarer
Da en Syndflods Vande
Bragte Død og Grav,
Mennesker og Lande
Sank i salten Hav;
Arken, da det endte,
Stod paa Ararat;
Duen Noah sendte
Ud i Frygtens Nat.
Bunden som til Sengen
Hver i Arken sad;
Duen kom fra Engen
Med et Olieblad.
Doctoren som Duen
Tidt man venter paa;
Træder han i Stuen,
Hjertet haabe maa;
Ingen Laurbærblade
Han i Munden har,
Vi ham ryge lade
Da en god Cigar.
Træder Du i Stuen,
Ryger, som vi bad,
Ja, da er Du Duen,
Som har Haabets Blad!

Gina
Gina'ya yazmıyorum aylardır
Eski günlerin hatrına demişti Rafael
Hiç olmazsa eski günlerin
Kaç kalem eskitti bu dil, kim bilir?
Tüketti mürekkep duygusal hokkamı
Yazamadım
Kafaları çekip Franco'nun barında
Şiirden, sanattan laflardık,
Music box'ta Eagles, sonra Ajda
Yakıp geçmemişti henüz
Genç kızdı iri gözlü Gina
Yıllar sonra o büyüdü
Ben küçülmeye başladım
Saçlarımda, yüzümde
Zaman değil, cesaretim olmadı söylemeye
Kaç kez kaldık başbaşa, ama anlamalıydı
Anlamalıydı her kaçırdığımda
Kalçalarına endeksli gözlerimdeki utancı
Şimdi pişman mıyım? Bilmem
Evlendiği gün, ağlamıştım gizlice
Mutsuz olur diye
Teselliydi alın çizgilerim
Roma sokaklarından yalpalaya yalpalaya
Yürüdüm Vatikan'a zom
Katedral duvarlarını dönüştürmek için ağlamaya
Bir el dokundu omzuma dostça,
Gam çekiyordu hıçkırıkları Rafael'in
Döndüm başladığım yere
Queens'deki kümese
Yarım kalan romanımda
Yüzüme bakmadı aksiliğimden
Kırıp attım daktilomu çöpe
Aylar sonra,
Yağmurlu bir gece çalındı kapım,
Yoğun bakımda, kocası dövmüş dedi Albert
Zaman benim, ben it'in peşinde
Olgunlaştı öfke dolu dizeler kaderimde
Ve, pis bir pansiyonda buldum
Gözümü kırpmadım alnından vurdum
O nedenle yazmıyorum Gina
Zaman uzun, parmaklıklar ardında...

Four food groups, count ‘em
Concern must be directed towards regularity

Hard road dude, full load a bitching all round
But hey, go for it man

Eccentric, I'll say
Nonetheless don't forget the vest
Wouldn't want to catch a chill
Totally deviant man
Insouciant, irresponsible, flighty
Favoring a leveled investment strategy
Rolling maturity dates, yielding consistent returns
While retaining that Cash in Hand feeling
All green, naturally
But no - nut case - abso

Did you mend your ways?
If yes - may I suggest you exit

The REM and Nirvana successes don't mean much to me except as a potential distraction for bands who want to cash in on the trend. Don't try to sound like someone else. REM and Nirvana don't sound like anyone else.

Comfort Of The Rain
You had your finest hour before you
Long after I thought I had mine
Only in need of the right circumstances
Wat if the sunlight that has failed you starts to shine
If the sky is dark with clouds tonight
Don't bother don't complain
Bringing down the comfort of the rain
This morning I came across your window
The lights were all on
and the curtains drawn
Casting a burden from yor shoulders
Wearing yor winter coat and waking up before the dawn
And if at last the silence falls tonight
And empty streets remain
For once enjoy the comfort in the rain

* this cd is censored, no uncensored version available
Yeah

Yo... yo...
Verse one: ghostface
Wally champ so amazin, the suede shoelacin
Up in the sheraton, just got hit for five years probation
I got a dental appointment at two oclock there go my gold ring
Much later catch a flick or go hoeing
Yo theres somethin heavy on my mind from last nights crime
Spoonface shot gel in the back with kivs nine
It was two men, tighter than a hiker with tims
Like blood brothers, problem was they lust each other woman
For instance, gel seen spoon in demoore
He wet his whiz(tle), got his seed an headin towards the door
They came out of eye, face to face, they embraced
Gel blew a kiss and looked spoon girl in the face
Her face lit up, and grinned with a smile like what?
That sneaky f--k, same bitch that got my man hit up
Out in brownsville, where the thug life live to kill
Where bodies is worth two for five cause its real
Fast life...
Fast life, cause theres nowhere I can go
Fast life, thats the only thing I know
Fast life, cause theres nowhere I can go
Fast life, thats the only life I know
Verse two: andre rison
Yo my man got more power than gunpowder with ammunition
Blowin up the fireworks and the n----z ambitions
On the come up, she gettin done up, behind closed doors
Doin freaky s--t, on elevator floors
I want her, like sonny wanted cher
She was his diamond piece, sex wasnt for lease
Rest in peace, somebody came up deceased
R.i.p. on that grave of the slave of infatuated ways
God couldnt save
F-a-k-e, l-o-v-e
Fake love you see
Never lasting through eternity
Living life in the fast lane
The fast life... its the fast life

Westöliche Rosen
1
die rosen werden an die hüte gekreuzigt, die lippen
der rosen fliegen fort.
die blutigen organe tropfen auf den sichtbaren
thron des halbwüchsigen westöstlichen steines und
auf die weißen totenköpfe.
die drei rasierten sommer und die drei rasierten
kreuze wackeln wie der mai auf krücken fort.
der leierleib erzählt von blutigen schlachten gegen
behaarte steine. der leierleib schießt giftigen schaum
steinerne krücken blutige nasen behaarte steine gegen
die rasierten totenköpfe.
2
der leierleib tropft blut auf die weißen vorhemden
wie in einer unverpackten schlacht und wirft seine
drei schneeballen hinter seine drei sommer.
aus den retorten rollen die totenköpfe der Itosen.
die lippen der hüte kommen auf krücken zurück.
die handschuhe werden an die hüte gekreuzigt.
die kreuze lehnen aneinander wie der halbe mann
vom bräutigam am anderen halben manne vom
bräutigam.
3
der leierleib erzählt der schaumgeburt von einem
halbwüchsigen westöstlichen stein der beileibe und
heiseele auf einem sichtbaren thron sitzt und von
den wagehalsigen und wagenasigen die blutige teile
5e,oen den mai werfen. da schießt die schaumgeburt
giftige akzentvögel gegen die signaturorgane des
leierleibes hängt sich klöppel an ihre geballten flügel
und läutet und fliegt fort zu den geflügelten worten.
die flügel rasieren die behaarten herzen.
das stückchen luft wackelt und ruft qui vive.
so geht es hinauf und hinab wie in einem brief.
4
es läutet in den herzen.
die schaumgeburt packt weiße mailuft in einen
schneebrief.
der halbwüchsige westöstliche stein wirft seine
drei handschuhe hinter seine drei hüte und hängt
sich an den rosen auf.
der leierleib rasiert seine schlachtenklöppel.
geflügelte rosen fliegen zu der schneeleier.

A Swimmer's Dream
Somno mollior unda
I
Dawn is dim on the dark soft water,
Soft and passionate, dark and sweet.
Love's own self was the deep sea's daughter,
Fair and flawless from face to feet,
Hailed of all when the world was golden,
Loved of lovers whose names beholden
Thrill men's eyes as with light of olden
Days more glad than their flight was fleet.
So they sang: but for men that love her,
Souls that hear not her word in vain,
Earth beside her and heaven above her
Seem but shadows that wax and wane.
Softer than sleep's are the sea's caresses,
Kinder than love's that betrays and blesses,
Blither than spring's when her flowerful tresses
Shake forth sunlight and shine with rain.
All the strength of the waves that perish
Swells beneath me and laughs and sighs,
Sighs for love of the life they cherish,
Laughs to know that it lives and dies,
Dies for joy of its life, and lives
Thrilled with joy that its brief death gives --
Death whose laugh or whose breath forgives
Change that bids it subside and rise.
II
Hard and heavy, remote but nearing,
Sunless hangs the severe sky's weight,
Cloud on cloud, though the wind be veering
Heaped on high to the sundawn's gate.
Dawn and even and noon are one,
Veiled with vapour and void of sun;
Nought in sight or in fancied hearing
Now less mighty than time or fate.
The grey sky gleams and the grey seas glimmer,
Pale and sweet as a dream's delight,
As a dream's where darkness and light seem dimmer,
Touched by dawn or subdued by night.
The dark wind, stern and sublime and sad,
Swings the rollers to westward, clad
With lustrous shadow that lures the swimmer,
Lures and lulls him with dreams of light.
Light, and sleep, and delight, and wonder,

'Livets Frihed, Jordens Baand,
Kamp imellem Form og Aand.'
*
Mægtigt Vaarens Pulse banke,
Dog er det saa kold en Tid;
See, imellem Form og Tanke
Viser sig den store Strid;
Aaret giver i det Mindre,
Hvad i Secler Verden gav,
Hvad du seer, hvor Stjerner tindre,
Og i Oldtids sjunkne Grav,
Livets Frihed, Jordens Baand,
Kamp imellem Form og Aand.
*
Jorden.
Ton høit i Tidens Kamp mit stolte Qvad!
En Verden være mig mit Nodeblad,
Urbjergene, som dybt grundfæsted' staae,
De er' de sorte Streger, sat' derpaa,
Og hver Forstening, hvert et Lag deri,
Er Noden til den stolte Melodie.
Hvert Mammuthsdyr, hver Blomst i Stenen bundet
Os synger om et Liv, som er forsvundet,
Om Tidens Stræben, Tidens snevre Baand,
Om Kampen mellem Formerne og Aand.
Hvo sprængte Himlen med sit Stjernetal,
Den vidtudstrakte Ymers Pandeskal,
Den høie Himmelhvælving i sin Skranke -
Hvo, uden Aanden med sin Flamme-Tanke?
Copernikus gav Jorden Liv og Gang,
Stolt alle Sphærerne i Rummet sang,
De gamle Former bort som Avner fløi,
Og Verden blev saa navnløs stor og høi.
Den vilde Søgang bryder stolt hver Skranke,
Og Klippen brister, som den skjøre Planke,
Sø bliver Land og Landet atter Sø,
Men dobbelt skjøn sig reiser Ø ved Ø,
Det indre Liv sig lader ei betvinge.
See! Skovene fra Jordens Muld fremspringe,
Fixstjernens Skjær naaer ned til Jordens Bugt,
Skjøndt Secler svinde i dens snare Flugt,
Men Rummet ei kan Kraftens Straale dæmpe,
Forgjæves Titans Børn mod Himlen kjæmpe.
Brænd Byer af, riv ned med Tiger-Kloe,
Strøe Salt i Gruset, at ei Græs skal groe! -
Dog reiser Aanden atter Steen ved Steen,

Paa en Faders Fødselsdag, afsjunget af hans Børn Mel. Du lille Purk.
Nu kommer Visen med Knald, Hurra!
Humeur forneden og foroven.

Den gaaer paa Palmer op til Boven,
Paa røde Roser og paa Tamerinth,
I Foden træder den sig ei en Splint,
Dog for vist og sandt
Ingen Elephant
Fik sig en Fader, som vor Fader!
En Hvalros har det saa mageligt,
Han lider ei af Solens Hede;
Paa Iis han sover behageligt,
Om han er oppe eller nede.
Ved Spidsbergs Klipper faaer han sig et Blund,
Ja lægger Hoved tidt paa Ederduun;
Det os ærgrer ei,
Ingen Hvalros nei,
Fik sig en Fader, som vor Fader!
Paa Ararat, der hvor Arken stod,
Tør Kongeørnen frit sig svinge,
Mod Skyen peger den med sin Fod,
Jo, Ørnen den er ei saa ringe!
De røde Roser og de Øine blaae,
I Dalen dybt de for ham neie maae,
Dog tør vi Børn
Sige: „Ingen Ørn
Har sig en Fader, som vor Fader!"
Nei, Elephant, Hvalros og Ørn,
Jo, de maae smøre sig om Munden!
Tænk! de fik heller ikke slige Børn,
Som os, det ærgrer dem i Grunden!
Som Torn i Øiet vi dem alle staae,
Men Dig vi er en Torn med Roser paa.
Rosens Duft er Sang,
Fader, see en Gang
Ved din Skaal hver en Rose nikker!
