MY BLUE LOTUS FLOWER

Ali Baba Karakaş – 03 Ocak 2026


The longing I feel for you knots in my throat
I haven’t wiped the sorrow from my eyes
I know, you are the one in my heart
Words can’t express how much I miss you

An unnamed sorrow wrapped my heart so strange
My eyes have wandered into the valley's range
My soul is strained, my heart torn in two
Don’t say you’ve gone too far, my love—don’t say it's true

I burn with your longing in this land
While you’re far away, burning in your own flames
Your absence smolders like embers in my chest
It’s not the river’s water I need, but your touch

I walk along the river’s flow
Among the blue lotus flowers
You came to mind like a blue lotus bloom
My eyes remained on your blue dress

My lips stayed on the forehead I never kissed
Stars fell into my eyes from your weary gaze
I lingered in the speech of your silent eyes
The lotus faded upon your lashes, my love
