Poetry from Thaalith Gimba

from the Book of Chaos: Into Smithereens (a poem)

paddled from a misfit to cast-off,

slouching on the pavilion of daily unrest,

my mind’s eyes sighted grief from afar

hovering, grinning

waiting, hoping

to feed on the flesh

of the tears my pains harvested,

alas hope saw I,

tortured by the hunger

of the society’s anger aimed at me,

but I say you this,

with every fibre of my frigid faith

fraught with frustrations,

I wish every life that befouls me—

have their nurtured joy

into smithereens!

Some Postwoman Poems

Today the post-
woman brought
me the riddle
of the Sphinx. I
walked out to
get it; but on
the way back 
tripped on the
packing tape
which had come
unwrapped in
transit & had 
to crawl like a 
baby the rest 
of the way. The 
ankle wasn't
broken, just 
sprained; but I'm 
using a walking 
stick to get around 
for the next few 
days. Feeling fine
otherwise. Now 
what was that
question again?

*

Today the post-
woman brought
me a satellite
navigation system 

with Bob Dylan
doing the voice-
overs. Worked
fine until we hit

Highway 61. Then 
it stopped giving 
directions & started 
asking me "where 

do I want the 
killings done?"

*

Today the post-
woman brought
me a sacrificial
pig. Looks as if
lamb, like most 
red meat these 
days, is too expen-
sive to be used 
as anything more 
than metaphor.

*

Today the post-
woman brought
me the shade of
Dylan Thomas

who stood in the
hallway & kept
on farting. Now I
know what was

meant by that
"when I was a 
windy boy" thing 
even though he got 

the tense wrong. 

*

Today the post-
woman brought
me a bridge. I'm

waiting for my 
ship to come in
so I can open it.

Spring
 
In fields of green, where flowers bloom, 
The air is sweet with nature's perfume. 
The sun shines bright, the sky so blue, 
As spring arrives, the world anew. 
Birds sing melodies, dance in the breeze, 
Leaves unfurl on the budding trees. 
Life bursts forth in vibrant array, 
Welcoming the warmth of a brand-new day. 
Gentle rain showers, the earth's embrace, 
Awakening life with each drop's grace. 
In spring's embrace, we find rebirth, 
A symphony of joy, across the earth. 
So let us revel in this season's delight, 
As nature paints with colors so bright. 
For in the heart of spring's gentle hue, 
We find hope, and dreams anew.

A dream

Sometimes,
mother with you
Believe me, we will travel the world together.
To the beach you want
We will arrive together on the ships.

Sometimes,
mother with you
We fly to the skies.
To the blue space you want,
We fly together in a plane.

Sometimes,
mother with you
Let's go around Makkatullah.
Praying in Baitullah
Then we read the Qur'an and pray.

Sometimes,
mother with you
I want to visit the whole world.
I don't have dreams, you say, mother -
"Let's visit Kabatullah together."

Dreams definitely come true

You know that we always dream, but these dreams may or may not come true. Whether our dreams come true or not is in our hands. We should always try because a person who can dream can certainly act.

The strongest people are those who take steps towards their dreams, do not listen to what people say, and have their own opinions. People whose dreams do not come true are the weakest and most unlucky people, because they do not take steps towards their dreams, they just live and dream.

Dreams come true sometimes quickly, sometimes more slowly, some of our dreams even take years to come true. There is a reason why our dreams come true late. The most important thing is that we should not stop.

Why do so many people fail in the pursuit of their dreams or stop halfway to their dreams? The reason for this is their lack of will, they realize their dreams in part and they say that I did it and it will happen to me. But people who think like that have made a big mistake.
You know that the first step taken to make dreams come true can be difficult, but the end will be very beautiful. The main thing is to believe in yourself. Promise yourself that "I will definitely make my dreams come true." Overcome all difficulties on the way to your dreams, never take a step back. You can certainly make your dreams come true.

Do not forget that your dreams will come true, the main thing is not to make the above mistakes. I repeat once again, dreams will definitely come true!

  XƏTRINNT OF MY LOVE

  Let me bend my love into your love,
  Let it not be based on the pleasure of my love,
  Let me give up on love, let me not hear,
  Don't let it be based on the pleasure of my love!

  Take away the ovary of my heart,
  Your capacity is abundant, remember me,
  Let it snow, rain, shine in the sun,
  Don't let it be based on the pleasure of my love!

  You are my hearth of hope, my trust,
  O poet to my life, I know the feeling,
  Everyday the wind blows into my soul,
  Don't let it be based on the pleasure of my love!

  Let me close your eyes, let me look at you,
  From the demand, you become bored, you become embroidered,
  My dear, let me be your blessing for life,
  Don't let it be based on the pleasure of my love!

  ISTURUM, MY OWN COUNTRY, WHERE I WAS BORN

  Yad, I have no eyes on Özzgən's soil,
  I want my own homeland where I was born.
  O I who turn back and forth in the land,
  I want my own homeland where I was born.

  I don't want grapes, hazelnuts, pomegranate vineyards,
  The heart desires the sky plateau, the mountain of shish,
  The land to which I speak, my shadow falls,
  I want my own homeland where I was born.

  Flowers would grow on my lawn,
  There the nightingale sang more loudly,
  My thighs would kiss my lips,
  I want my own homeland where I was born.

  Əsən mehi shallow pull telimə,
  Its origins are sometimes different,
  Waterfalls rose into my slice,
  I want my own homeland where I was born.

  At the end of the article, we would flee to the pasture,
  We had learned to bala-yaga, to ski,
  The tulip gave color to the cheeks,
  I want my own homeland where I was born.

  I was a mother, my mother was there too,
  My will was sensitive to my eyes,
  My prince would wash my feet,
  I want my own homeland where I was born.

  I was valuable in my hand, and in myself,
  That's why I said "homeland",
  Wherever I look, the sign is in my eye,
  I want my own homeland where I was born.

  Quickly turn away, let the son go to longing,
  My heart is in need of attention, compassion,
  I'm sorry, what's your name, fame,
  I want my own homeland where I was born.

  CARRYING THIS SPIRIT
               WE ARE NOT COLLAPSING A NATION

  Envər Pasha of our Turan army,
  Look at the power of his love,
  His love is across the seas, over the mountains,
  This spirituality is only Turkish!

  He gave great importance to the nation and the country,
  Joined in jihad, escaped from the flames,
  “Transformation as a victorious commander,
  Or let me be a martyr!” - choose your slogan!

  Time colliding in the room,
  The letter he wrote to Nacibé Sultan,
  Even though the sultan's heart was saddened at that moment,
  It has become a source of pride for a lifetime!

   “I love you, my praises
  Raise me with my job!”- he wrote,
  “Write the names of the villages in history,
  Martyrdom is a mark!” - wrote...

  “To protect our country from the enemy,
  Mustafa Kamala, possible help,
  The day that should be from him,
  “One dimension, my sons!”

  The one that comes to life before your eyes,
  He kissed her gentle fingers and left...
  The one that makes hearts happy when you remember it,
  He entrusted tomorrow to God...

  A mill carrying this spirit has collapsed,
  And your truth guides, the path they follow!
  It precipitates the oil, but it does not absorb much of it,
  As long as there is one mill and two states!

  He joined the Turan party,
  Now what kind of Pasha has arrived?
  The great men of Great Turkestan,
  Come on, Victory, our heads are high!
