Poems by Nuri Can

PASSION FOR FREEDOM

I loved the sky,interminably
I could’t like captivity at all
I loved the pigeons in white and White
at the sky.

I picked flowers in green branches blooming
with my feeling by feeling.
As far as I ‘ve known myself
I want neither a flower pot nor a cage
Even if birds in golden cage,
I want birds to be free
flowers free
children free
ı don’t like narrow places.
I wish earth belonged to flowers

Sky belonged to pigeons
Everywhere fondled by sun
smell love like spring.
Oh! I wish it were possible
