Þiir'ing English

My name is Oðuz Büyükahraz. I am a 24 year old Turkish poet. I write my poems in Turkish and translate some of them in English if I can.

Þiir'ing English

Þiir is the Turkish word for poem. I don't know so much about poetry in English. So I translate my poems just as I write them in Turkish. This makes me feel my translations are still þiirs than poems. Because of this, I call my translation action "Þiir'ing English".

I didn't know what love is
My poems taught me
Then i told what love is
In my poems

1.

Nuclear energy
Fission and fusion
Antimatter energy
New supplies of food
And the speed of light

To go to the stars
They shall wait hundreds of years
For the enough technology

But it is only your love
It is enough for me

2.

A gazelle
Loved a lion
She would
Die for him

3.

My heart is not at my left side

At which side of me you are
My heart is there

4.

How can i like roses
Since there aren't any
With the colour of your eyes

5.

Do you remember
You were telling me that
The future of our love was
As bright as the moon
Yes it was
But not as the full moon
As how bright was the new moon
Was the future of our love as bright

Can anybody help me?
