Şenol Alçınkaya


Unfaithful love


Ours was a breakup story

It has no end, but seems like the end

Our love was like thunder

Fed by the rains of love

In the note of the winds of happiness

It was our fiery bodies burning to meet

It was a mixture of colors dripping from the painter's brush.

We had the words to last a lifetime in our hearts

Now you're far away in other bodies

Happiness between you

You can't find the first fire

If your conscience is at ease, good luck to you.


If one day you regret

Know I'm not where you left off

I'm like a nomad on the endless road

You're like alcohol in a bottle that disappears as you fly

Let the one who bleeds as you remember

It is crusted as it dries, but always leaves a trace.

wasted in other hearts

You are the unfaithful love that remains in the memories


Spring is Coming



Look darling spring is coming,

Cherry trees are blooming, plums wink at the branches.

Butterflies are cocoons, bees beehive,

Daisies are waking up from the soil to a new season.

Birds flapping wings in love.

The earth is awakening to a new life.

Our roses are dry, our memories turn yellow.

My heart is burning, my heart is crying

Without you.




I'm offended



I'm offended I have resentments Maybe to life, maybe to those who see and ignore To those who turn their backs as if nothing happened To those who hurt my heart with their careless attitude For those who don't hear my voice in silence And those who make my heart despair I have resentments People change when they break For your loved ones and yourself Heartbreak does not pass easily Because not everyone can enter the heart
