And, Then I Knew She wanted himLoved him at first glanceThis man of goodnessIt is to sad his heart is takenI want him, my soul is shaken We made love three timesOn the hard floor of an officeLeaving comfort to be desiredWomen come easy for himAs men come easy for meFor me this was differentAll the pieces fitExcept he missed his lost loveThe one that got away I wish that he loved meI wish that he wanted meI wish that I could have himI am not good enoughNot pure, I am tainted I assumeA Madonna/Whore Complex he must have His lost love was perfectI could never compare to herHe says he still dreams of herHe is staying single to be freeJust in case she should divorce Damn those, in this stateLove lost, is no great feat to overcomeCan he?My love, my darlingIf I cannot have him, I shall stay by himAs a friend maybeHis heart is only half fullFor she is clutching the restWith her resistance to love him againSee he cheated on her, but now regrets it

He would do anything to have her back Yet, where does this leave me?Am I just his play toy?A pawn to move as he wishesShould I back away from this man?I can't, I can'tI'll just wait and see what happensHe and I in this new love gameDamnit can I make him love me? When he said he loved her stillThen I knew I had no chanceTo only be with him aloneFor him to love me backWas only a wishI can never be herShe can never be meI will just exist in his worldAnd receive his kindness Love is such a sick beastTearing at youBeating youAnd you enjoy it somehowWhy? Ah, love what you do to mePity me, for I am love's fool tonight Cynthia Yildirim

Escape Love Escape Love Peace, stillness, loveCrazy as a doveA Dove of love's escapeMemories slowly wakeA mantel where portraits hangThe song he once sang Enlighten me this nightUnder the silent moon lightWhere we once ranHand in hand He calls me once a dayOnly in my mind he staysIf I had him I would cryFrom this devil inside Take me humble portUpon your shores of disacortSwing me gently in your wakeFeed me, pleasures cakeReturn him to meMake him see From this I shall not swayThis feeling is my only wayTo feel his love this dayI tear his photo in my bookFrom which I wish to never look Lover, friend you are goneRegretfully, my love shines onYou still sing your songIn your wispy breathOften bringing lust death So again I say

I Am Thine Noise bothers me nowI cannot hear my thoughtsI should ponder yet I gawkNo man can claim me, only GodDoes he? Surely notYet his bible teaches me yesAnd his love is most givingThis I find most appealingThus I seek and shall findHe owns my heart, for I am thine. Cynthia Yildirim

I Loath I loath the words I cannot speakI see not a love, yet not a hate My emotion yield, yet do not shakeTwo sinister hearts, that always ache One for love, one for truth, both to pain.That was untrue.Set aside I loath, I loath Who said so sweet 'the night breaths heat? ” Parting not pain and grief, settingup,season's treats Wreaking souls that once beat glassI loath at things that cannot lastI loath to relive my past What weakness lies, in those who love?A wretched heartA love lost, that was never trueA tear by day, a tear by night Cynthia Yildirim

Down to the darkest cavesSitting and moping aboutWanting a way out Oh my, you rang my bellYour here at last, take me in your spellYou say you missed meAre you for sure?Let’s break all the rules Love me back hardLove me back NodnarbThis is your chanceFor many men give me a glanceI ignore them and move onFor I know with you is...Well you can finish the rhymeIt’s just that I care to muchYou are to good for me?Maybe my world is bad for youOur love could never be true?If you forget her, which you will not doJust put her in the back of your mindThis place with me is so divine I lay here in your armsIt feels so rightYou hold me so very tightYet last such a short timeBefore you begin to regretThat I am not herThen quickly you move onWhile I dream of our misadventuresIt’s a sad fact that this loveMay not come to beAll of this I have will fade slowlyNodnard, I want youI need youI breathe youLove me, for I can not take it any longerNodnardNodnard

Ode To Amish IBuggies abound pebbled streetsBonnets adorn your womenFarm work greets your menEggs taken each morningEach person shares in the workIIGod is ever present in your lifeDaily life, daily strifeFor the meager shall inherit the earthFor he knows your worthIIISally sits by the streamHaving daydreamsOf her husband to beA man of utmost esteemThat has a farm near the churchWhere they will marryThen replenish the earthLittle bonnets coming upDancing sisters falling in loveIVThough you are simpleYou are not poorFor you save your moneyFor your kindredSo that they shall not haveTo toil and be homelessWhat selflessnessVMaybe I should leave my homeAnd come to live there in your placeAnd share in the toils of the dayThen maybe life would beLess stressful for meWhat happiness I would seeSeeing the great big skyWaving at passersby

Ode To Atheists IFor you have no book to quoteYou rely on your life your wroteYet often your path is lostSo you turn to no one to restUnsure of what is bestIIWhat brought you down this road?This road of no creedThis road of slow returnDeath does not stop for youIt comes and burnsYou roast in your urnPoor lost soulIIIMaybe we are all mistaken andYou sing the right songAnd we the wrongIVYou existence with out meaningNot knowing your callingBut, then none of us doThis path that you’ve takenIs not the middle wayBut somewhere in between right and centerVYou claimed my brotherHow dare you!Give him back!For his soul cannot be lostAnd off trackVIDare you peek insideUniversal knowledgeYou would be lostAnd humbuffled Cynthia Yildirim

You must restore your good reputationYou must rebuild the buildings you’ve tumbledYou must repay to the families of the lives you have takenYou must beg Allah for forgiveness of this wrongdoingIXThese two towers fell in the New CityWith them also fell our respect of youNow you are a tyrant, vagabond, a sickly childThat waits for the opportunity to dieYou are now not possessed by good, but by evilXIt is Fact!That you are not all supporters of these extremistsThen why do you keep silent?Do the good have no voice in your religion?Only those who kill in the name of AllahAllah has spoken to me and he is angry at thisXIYou now have fools to represent youBut! It does not have to be soYou can change this dangerous pathYou can reclaim your honorAll you must do is defy these extremistsAnd defeat them at all costsCan you do this?It is hard to defeat an enemyEspecially when the enemy bears your nameBut you must!XIIDream of that dayWhen you are acceptedAt all parts, all entrancesNow you are quizzed,Hounded, Harassed, and JailedIt is your own doing, you know thisA crime against your own peopleNow they all appear as enemies of the worldXIIIThey have just suspicions of youAll around your veil is openYour world no longer closedYou against the world

Ode To Shinto IThrough the golden torii we goOn the way to the godsTo practice this old ancient religionMountains, rivers, rocks, and basinsTrees and all other natureYou call these basic forces KamiIIHigh moral standards ye ownRituals ever still ye doMany are your numbersGathered by the gardens to prayOffering gifts and cakes their wayIIIThe Mastsuri rarely performedIf you have committed sinThen be sure to join inThe Great Purification CeremonyAnd be cleansed of allIVOh ye sun goddess relatedTo past empires once hadNow only myths surviveWhen once ye were gladVThe New Religions are hereTo spread the lost beliefsTo humble earsAnd give to those who have notAs a group of helpersShinto takes a step upGuiding those who have lost their luckVIPray ye in your garden friendThat Buddha will descendTo gather all ye gentlemenOf virtue

Ode To War IOh you mighty foeBringer of deathAnd freer of famineWe are blind to your arrivalIISharp swords onceNow your weapons advancedYou renew yourself at any given chanceYour intelligence is your lanceIIIThe first to love you were the TitansYour power excites themThen Anthony and NapoleonYou’re our villainThen Kings and Queens of every sortWith them you prefer to consortThen Hitler the tyrantHe killed the innocent for you, you foolThen Bush, but you followed him to warHe was like you, you adored himToo bad that now you ignore himIVYou theBringer of landDeathGoldTearsLost limbsVWhy do you allow us to fight?Why does each generation show your might?The honest jest is that we need you now to liveTo die to live, live to dieHow usual Cynthia Yildirim

Ode To Wiccans IEvery waning moonYou cast your best spellsTo evil you do not dwellWhite magic is your hailIIYou burned the colored candlesAnd they melt downWax is all aroundThe Wiccans’ furrowIIIBringing loveOr hexing itBinding spells for himWinding back clocks at willSpeeding them for the feelIVLovely robes you wear at nightUnder the dancing moonlightCasting your circle wellCasting out hellBringing in your guideOnly seeking wisdomSide by sideVThe town of Salem in the pastYou’re free to practice at lastAll your gods and goddesses at your willIf they want to beFor you their blessings seekVIAs this poem is wroteI sense you at my backLooking over meMaking sure I’m on trackVIIOnce a love rock was seenOne dropp from each appliedTheir love still glides

Ode To Women IWondrous mothersWondrous sistersGivers of undefined loveSweet and lovely stillIIYour eyes melt men’s heartsYour hair smells of scented bathsYou are mother earthGivers of lifeIntelligent mistresses of GodIIIGentle kisses givenChildren reared by you succeedYou creator of warriors and popesYou creator of writers and singersYou creator of friends and enemiesIVSo many words to describeYour worthWords from you quiet your familiesYou are exquisite and wiseVOppressed by man to this dayMan rules you with an iron fistBut, you fight and gain independenceThis is splendorFreedom from abuse by thoseThat claim to love youVIBless you sisterBless you motherDays are better asunderFight on!

One Day I'Ll Be Like You One day old man I'll be like youMy hands tired and tornMy back hunched overMy steps slowMy driving slowerMy grandchildren lighting my eyesMy medicine cabinet full of things to save meOne day old man I'll be like youAnd they would laugh at meThough they would one day be like me One day old woman I'll be like youMy hair dry and grayMy weight little from not eatingMy cooking still superbMy heart heavy ladenMy grandchildren given my nameMy heart near collapseOne day old woman I'll be like youAnd they will laugh at meThough they would one day be like me Cynthia Yildirim Cynthia Yildirim

The True Poet She sits alonewith her pen in handwriting about all love’s woes.She studies the actions of thesparrow depicting it's movementwith the beautiful languageof poetry. Her wit greets her Her mind full of descriptionsof the most wondrous things.Writing is her passionEveryone knows. Her heart deceives her For poetry is a great art formthat should encompass no limits she says.Write with all that escapes you.Let the universal knowledge overtake you He sits alonewith his pen in handwriting about all love’s woes.He studies the actions of thesparrow depicting it's movementwith the beautiful language of poetry. His wit greets him His mind full of descriptionsof the most wondrous things.Writing is his passionEveryone knows.His heart deceives him For poetry is a great art formthat should have no limitations he says.

Time Traveler This is the not the present but the pastI am flying through timeConsidering the beginning of reactions,And the end of actions, the merge and disperse of atomsI gaze upon Hawking, Kaku, Greene, and Morris working on their secret theories,they are close to a new discovery I sense, their blended knowledge is immense,thusI journey onThis maze ah it’s deep and swirls like a drainMy being is ripped apart and put together againSomewhere else, somewhere unknown to me Ah, I recognize it now,It is, the life that I live in my dreamsMy other life, I have crossed overI see the house two stories, and that windowOf which, I always peer out of in my dreamsNow I see my other self and my room, which is hersIt is the same as any other room, yet nicerI have a conversation with myself within her dreamShe lives my life I live hers but only in thoughtsShe dreamed me hereI dreamed her thereWe travel in this wayFrom here to there and there to hereShe shared her secrets and I shared mineWe exchanged knowledge of our worldsIt’s always the same dream of doomWhen she tries to warn me of her mistakesSo that I do not do them tooA time traveler within present timeBending Strings that easily unwindThis is power this is graceTaking a journey through God’s great spaceTime to go back and wake from dreamsWhat a cosmos to behold in one wish the truth is toldBend, Shape, Conform them all into a single ball
