Who Was She?

With a jolt I came into my senses! Was I dreaming? She was opening her heart to me. She came from nowhere in my life like a gust of wind, shattered entire of me. I was listening how she was confessing that she had always been looking for the one whom she had been loving from the eternity, and finally she had found him in me. I was looking at her with opened mouth. The silver sparkling light was falling at her face reflecting from my hairs.

“Oh it matters not at all to me, because my love is pecu

My Last Vacation

This was my second vacation with Gizem. Firstly we went to Bodrum for honeymoon in August 2014. It was a wonderful vacation and we enjoyed very much.

After we arrived to our hotel,we slept all day. And after this bad experience we decided to not use the bus for in the next time. We were going to English class when our friend recommende

Loathing

Hatred is one of complicated things I have been dealing with until now. I don’t know what is it to be exact, just an ucomfortable feeling towards some people who despised me. When someone dissapointed me by their act, I started to stay away from that person. Lately I am questioning my self, is that a resentment or just an ignorance.

 

“Give her excuse” Said my bro after I told him I had quarell with my friend, simply started to ‘hate’.

Plant and adopt me!

          Plant me and adopt me,

          I'm craving for your love.

            The mountainside is burnt and black,

             We have nothing more to give.

               They just don't want to know.

               Money's all they care about
