HAPPY
BIRTHDAY, BABY, 2002
ISTANBUL
Moon shining brightly
on the Marmara Sea over Buyuk Ada
Warmly, softly, compassionate,
soothing, for us to see, ours to consume
Together in a foreign
land, no one we know around
Seeing what it might
be like to spend our lives together
Istanbul'
I couldn't help but to
stare at her constantly
Her beauty is immeasurable,
hypnotical, mesmerizing, infinite
Childlike, funny, sensuous,
pure and total beauty, who is she
Hotel room, naked beauty,
holding her softness, wanting her
Istanbul'
Grand bazaar, shopping,
masques, palaces, cistern
Street vendors, hecklers,
meeting local friends
Making relationships
never to be forgotten
Terrace BBQ's new friends,
laughing, caring, sharing our lives
Istanbul'
Unselfishly giving her
precious time to me
Holding her hand, kissing
her, walking on the cobble stone streets
Feeling her soft skin,
captured by her smile, consumed
Wanting it not to end,
to go on forever
Istanbul'
Carpet shops, bread carts,
the heat of the day, sweating
Women with scarves, dogs
and cats on the ground sleeping
Turkish spoken, filling
the air, stolen kisses, silent thoughts
Memories being made with
each passing moment
Istanbul'
Her hair, her eyes, her
smile, her walk, remembering
Longing for each morning
to wake and see her, holding her
Wanting all of her, wanting
it to never end
If I want it badly enough
can I make it remain
Istanbul'
Tuvak dumas, pigeons
flying, crowds abound
Trams noisy on their
rails, lights on the masques at night
People everywhere, we
become lost in the crowds
Every minute has meaning,
why must it end
Istanbul'
I want to watch her write
here, silently loving her
Reading her heart on
paper, loving, compassionate, revealed
Your endless charm gave
us joy, joined us together for a reason
How strange that You
would place us here, did You call us
Istanbul'
I wonder if she could
tell how badly I wanted her
I kiss her a thousand
times in my dreams, her happiness is my desire
She is everything beautiful
to me
She is with me every
day even though we are now apart
Istanbul'
Why did it have to end?
Why Istanbul'? Why?
It makes no sense….
Istanbul'? I have a question
for you
Will you please remain
with us forever,,, and remember us there????
I will wish it so!!!!!!
I will wish it so!!!!!!
Istanbul'
