Cyclamen

My grandmother's swing
sways on and on
in the arms of death.
We travel to the utmost
edge of the coast -

A flower
cool to the touch,
as the mountainous cliff.

A sailor's lantern
does not light the way.

A sailor's lantern
does not light the way.
Does it shine?
Does death wait
until morning?

Is the lust of Kerem[1]
quenched; does it
penetrate the rocsk
with his love?
A pink cyclamen
heats his flesh
with the burning health
of Asli.

[1]Kerem and Asli were lovers, one Muslim,. One Christian whose tragic love story is a favorite subject of traveling minstrels, Asiklar, meaning those who are in love.


BOKOR CIKLAMA

Gore-dole
Nanina ljuljaska
se polako njise
u zagrljaju smrti.
Mi odlazimo
do same granice morske obale -

Cvet
hladan na dodir
U samom podnožju litice.

Mornarev fenjer
je suviše slab da bi osvetlio put.

Mornarev fenjer
je suviše slab da bi osvetlio put.
Da li svetli ?
Da li smrt čeka
svanuće ?

Da li je Keremova[1] požuda
ugašena; da li
prodire u pore stenja
zajedno sa njegovom ljubavlju ?
Rumena ciklama
greje nejgovo meso
u gorućem zdravlju
njegove ljubavnice Asil.
---
[1] Kerem i Asil su bili ljubavnici. Jedan

Muslimanske a drugi Hrišćanske vere. Njihova tragična ljubavna prica je omiljena tema putujućih pesnika. Reč ‘alsikar’ na turskom znači ‘zaljubljeni’

                      DUH INSPIRACIJE SUI GENERIS

             Smrtno svanuće dok snijeg pokriva prošlost. Poezija Ali. F. Bilira je mozaik svakodnevnice. Osobe koja transcendira putevima usmjerenih molitvi. Odnosno, sjećanja, prije svega. Opijenost prijateljstvom i poštovanjem ovdje se manifestuje u pokušaju da, posvećujući pjesme kolegama i prijateljima, pokuša odrediti sebe, i svijet po sebi.  

            Uspijeva uz pretpostavku da jednostavnost izričaja ovdje jeste sa jednim i jedinim ciljem-pojašnjenja prostora u kojem obitavaju i kojeg uobličavaju. Prijatelji.

             S druge strane, njegov osjećaj prostora koji predočava u svojim pjesmama kao prostor kreacije poetike, je inspirativno omeđen beskrajnim prostranstvima. Njegove duše. I kada je u stepi, ali i u vinogradu. Duha vlastitog.

             Turski pjesnik je inspiratio sine qua non svakome ko želi imati mirnoću stila, kreaciju vizije ali i veličinu poruke. Ovdje je sve na jednom mjestu. Unutar pjesama.

Riječ urednika
Sabahudin Hadžialić

         THE SPIRIT OF THE INSPIRATION SUI GENERIS 
 
             Mortally dawn until snow covers the past. Poetry of Ali. F. Bilir is a mosaic of everyday life. The person who transcends through the roads which are targeted towards the pray. In other words, the memories, first of all. Intoxication of friendship and respect are manifested here in an attempt to, through dedicating the poems to friends and colleagues, attempts to define himself and the world per himself.
         He succeeds  with the assumption that simplicity of expression here is with the one and only purpose-explanations of the space in which they reside and shape it up. Friends.

            On the other hand, his sense of space that are presented in the poems as the space of creation of poetics, is surrounded by endless expanses of inspiration. Of his soul. And when he is in the desert, but also in the vineyard. Spirit of his own.

        Turkish poet is the inspiratio sine qua non for anyone who wants to have a calm style, creation of vision but also the size of the message. Here is all on one place. Within the poems.

PROLAZEĆI KROZ STEPU

Ogromna je ova stepa i
noć je mrzla,
inje se tiho nahvatalo na moj
prozor.

Sneg prekriva prošlost,
bez prekida.

U mom sećanju
nema mesta ni za Mediteran
ni za nebo, skupljeno na dlanu.

Stećište za stećištem,
raskrsnice, svi putevi
nestaju dok ja putujem
stepom


INTIMNA PITANJA

Dete vinograda
Se ljulja na vinovoj lozi,
Časa vina, okrepljuje telo.

Strasne ruke
Grle tamu noći
Poput isprepletanih loza
Koje se penju u nebo.

Stojeći na pragu
Mi gledamo
nadolazeće talase strasti
poklon od boga Dionizija
berbi grozđa.


BEKTAŠI-DERVIŠ
Posvećena Umit Sariaslanu[1]

Krijući svoje detinjstvo,
zemljani putevi grada Fakili
u oblaku prašine.
On sanja o Hitesu
i mirisima Ankare.

On je Bektaši-Derviš
sa kartom u džepu
i niko ga ne može pokoriti.

Svaki put kada se nasmeje
crna lokomotiva dođe i prođe.

[1] Umit Sariaslan je turski pesnik, pisac i kritičar.

PROMETEJ I SIZIF
Posvećeno Mehmet Ataju[1]

Bol razdvajanja
umirujem
duvanom.

Užarena lopta
se spušta
u vode Bosfora
obmotavajući bol svekolikog Istanbula
oko moga srca.

Tragajući za svojom biti
u pričama o Prometeju i
Sizifu,
sreo sam samo nekolicinu
mudrih ljudi.

Okovali su me
Zato što sam pisao pesmu o slobodi.
Bez opiranja
sam nosio
nadu
na krilima reči.

[1] Mehmet Ataj je urednik i publicist u Turskoj.


DUGA PUTOVANJA
Mojoj kćerci Dafne

Gledajući odakle sam potekao,
sećajući se dugačkih putovanja, mnogih stepenika,
graciozne jurnjave moje države za mnom, pokrivene snegom
ti sjajni oblaci
netom iznad planina koje se stalno menjaju.

Ja sam kao dete
čije srce ne može da se uklopi
u ritam ovog sveta.

Usamljeni vetar je otišao
za mnom. U meni je želja, želja
koja donosi nadu !

Možda ću pasti
u bezdan moje mladosti.
Sasvim sam u ovom domu
sa zamandaljenim vratima
a iza mene mir
praznina
sva moja duga putovanja.

Passing Through the Steppe

It is a vast steppe and
the night is frozen, icing
down my window silently.

It is snowing on the past,
no breaks.

Neither the Mediterrnean
nor the sky, small as a palm
in my memory, remain.

Junction after junction,
cross-roads, all roads
vanish as I pass
through the steppe.

Intimate questions

A child of Ispitiren grapes
hanging on th vine,
a glass of wine, refresh the body.

Passionate arms
embrace the darkest night
like a clinging, climbing vine.

At the treshold we watch
for passion coming with Dionysus
to harvest the grapes.

A Dervish of the Bektashi
To Umit Sariaslan[1]

Hiding his childhood,
the Fakili roads
full of dust and earth.
He dreams of Hitties
and the aromas of Ankara.

He is a Dervish of the Bektashi
With a ticket in his pocket,
And can never be sent by oppression.

Every time he smiles
A black locomotive comes and goes.

[1]  Umit Sariaslan is a Turkish poet, writer, critic.

Prometheus and Sisyphus
            To Mehmet Atay[1]

The pain of separation
I repress
with tobacco.

A red-hot sun setting
over the waters of the Bosphorus
wraps the pain of Istanbul
around my heart.

I encountered a very few
wise men, as I searched
for my essential self
in the stories of Promeheus
and Sisyphus.

I was chained for
writing a poem of freedom.
I carried, without reluctance, hope
on the wings of words.

[1]Mehmet Atay is an editor and publisher in Turkey

Prior to Long Journeys
            To my doughter Defne

Looking back to my roots,
long journeys, many steps,
how gracefully my homeland
has run after me, snow covered
those glittering clouds
just above the cganging mountains.

Like a small child am I
whose heart cannot match
the rhytm of this word.

The lonely wind has gone
with me. In me is desire, desire
such hope it brings!

Maybe I will fall into
the emptiness of my youth.
Quite alone is this home
with the door latched
and behind me the serenity
the emptiness
all my long journeys.
