Womb

I wish I were a planet
grown on a hill
far,
in peace and silence,
in the absence of poem
        and cold poetic lovers

You see!
Even your dream is cold.

It’s windy,
I looked outside
the birds left here
your cold dream even scatters the birds.

It’s cold here
and the blood has frozen in my vessel.
Please,
please, bring me some warm blood
I crave to sleep in the warm blood
like the time when I was in the womb
like the time I hadn’t seen this world
            this clod world.

Bring me a sun
a real hot sun
and make me warm
with the summers which haven’t come yet
melt these frozen dreams
I want to die,
drowned in my warm blood.

Tree

Unexpectedly, didn’t pull it out of soil

No!

Bit by bit

Not for compassion or sympathy

No!

To let her feel the rootlets’ tear

One by one

Thoroughly.

My beloved is sleeping.

Home is in winter
winter is icy,
and my beloved is sleeping.

- Have your mind
    in peace
     my love.
Sleep tight!
I’ll kiss you
    all the night
hot kisses
rain or shine.

Let’s leave here!

 

Let’s leave here!
        My Love
        my unique beloved!

Take my hand!

I’m not complaining about their pain
but the pain they are;
         themselves!

Let’s leave here!
        My Love
        my unique beloved!

Take my hand!

It’s putrefaction, here!
Take my hand!

Haven

 

I created the earth
        when
        I was seeking the world
    for a shelter,
    for a refuge
            and it was so.

And then we killed
    our brothers
    and our sisters
        for a bigger shelter
        in this refuge
            and it was so.

Pity!
It was never safe enough
        to protect love
        to protect lover
            and it was so.

And then I created heaven
        when
        I was seeking the earth
    for a safe haven
    to protect love
    and lover
            and it was so.

Pity!
It was so far from grasp
    that killed love
    and lover
    and the heaven was no longer haven
             and it was so.

 

Piteous!

 
 

It’s getting dark!

Lonely and stray,
    thinking of you
here I am.

Always,
I ponder,
I’m a brave man!

Tears,
I ponder,
it’s good that nobody can see!

 
 

  

Vision

 

I will die
and you will live

What a horrible nightmare
that day which I may hear not
your heart and your breath

You will sleep
but I will awake

What a sweet dream
the moment witch I drink being
from your breast

The Tiny Black Fish

To: Samad Behrangi.

 

I was born in a river
thus
I water all the seas

Shards and seashells
    -sleep with my lullabies
and the mermaids whisper my lyrics

I was born in a river
thus
I water all the seas

I am the stir to the waves
and sands
    -share their secrets with me

I am that tiny black fish
who was born in a river
and dreamt of the sea.

 

 

 

 

 

Toothless Grin

You wouldn’t hear my cry

I grin at you
a toothless grin
     lipless

Where is home?

-far
beyond my grasp
dogs are barking and people tearing people

Where is home?

-young and longing, I am
-far
seeking a shelter

And the unsafe haven
a place
for toothless grin
lipless and bitter.

Dry and Green

Dry;
thirsty lips, welded to a frozen tap,
                                                            Winter

Dry;
eyes of a mother who has buried her child

Green;
like my body tied in yours
                       
like the tiny drops of voice
                   in the dry wilderness

Dry and Green;
a broken olive- branch of peace

Like, conjuring a verse not in your mother tongue

a frozen trunk of tree in snow
            anticipating the spring to bloom

Green;
like me and you when we are one.
