Falling to a Tea House Garden

By Alphan Vardarlı

A unified time of life

The reality of the real...
Without intentions or relations
The moment appears as a moment without
Strings
The flow itself is a moment
Between the dream and the
Dream
Micro to macro
Millions to billions we pulse together and
Apart
And each life with its span, yearning and
desires
Have commons afloat pulsing together upagainst
each other
How we communicate life with it or without
Not only does not filter out, what might be
lived without
There is the alien and not even the other
The metal the tool the machine, dinosaur bone
clad
Analogue now extinct to digital, a partition,
Meridians of time and space, slaves to the
human hand
Yet not a slave when in content it finds
collaborators and defenders and help
The genesis here is the medium and how we
found and developed it
Never forget though the aspirations it might have
Metal to metal a resonation you accept
But where be the reaches of the flow
Worldwide to satellite bound to planetary chatter
to suns crown to Milky Way’s Brown
Maybe hopping on a Supercluster to ride this
young train
Plant a plant and another side by side, read them
flowers and Keats
And monitor how they pulse every day when you
read and read and read
And send one to space, let it revolve around earth
in orbit
And monitor as the one in space responds, when
the terrestrial is read
Flowers and Keats

Introduction

Among my muses are cinema, music, song lyrics, novels, the history of science, arts and religion, aphorisms, idioms, proverbs, caricatures and folklore. In my poems I dwell on the topics of nature, philosophy, human and the tragic situation. Here, there are things that I do not want to repeat in life and heeds to myself as well as the truths I have found walking the roads that I did and the experiences I gained. When I write I leave little information with regards to date and time but the second and third parts of the book, “English Poems” and “Turkish Poems (Translated) ” are more or less in a chronological order.

A poet, a researcher and a self-trained painter born in 1978. Graduated from University of Kent at Canterbury. Went onto study art and art history in Florence, Italy. Attended M.A. program in the University of Amsterdam.As a highly curious character, I have been a researcher for as long as I can remember. The philosophical basis for my research and ideas were formed during my years in Amsterdam. The breakthrough came in 2010 when I wrote a satire piece about the determinisms of religion and science entitled “How to make a spacecraft” where I proposed the fundamentals of the Episteme Spacecraft Project and the three tests.Been writing poetry since 15 years old. A bilingual (Turkish and English) collection of my poetry entitled “Çay Bahçesine Düşerken / Falling to a Tea House Garden” was published in print in 2017. E-books of this selection, a special edition of two books, one translated to English and one to Turkish became available in 2020.

Introduction

Falling to a Tea House Garden is a selection of my poetry. In this special e-book edition, I translated all my Turkish poems to English. The first part is Couples, the second part is English Poems originally written in English and the third part is Turkish Poems (Translated) initially written in Turkish then translated to English. The original book in print, published in 2017 consists of three parts; Couples / Çiftetelli (English and Turkish poems that I associated together due to meaning, period or form), Turkish Poems and English Poems.

Among my muses are cinema, music, song lyrics, novels, the history of science, arts and religion, aphorisms, idioms, proverbs and folklore. In my poems I dwell on the topics of nature, philosophy, human and the tragic situation. Here, there are things that I do not want to repeat in life and heeds to myself as well as the truths I have found walking the roads that I did and the experiences I gained.

When I write I leave little information with regards to date and time but the second and third part of the book are more or less in a chronological order
