The last drop of wine...


They all ask…They are all confused…
Look at them…
What is in the whisper of the dripping water?
What is in the desire of a leaf for a raindrop?
What is in the play of the white cloud?
On the surface of the this high white sky
Who takes you to the far away dreams?
What is in the silence of the pigeon’s nest?
What is in the useless struggle of the waves?
What is in the glass of wine?
That I stare for hours…
Not to the clouds, not to the water, not to the leaves
Not to the white high skies…
Not to the silence of the pigeon’s nest
Not to the glass of wine I stare…for hours
No…I don’t think of the sentences and words that describes them
The entire prayers of the trees in the dawn
The dances of daffodils in the arms of wind
The cleansed breath of the poppy flowers in the fields
The whispers of swallows with the sunrise
The spite of wheat field for existence
The movement of colors in the face of flowers
I hear them all… believe me …I hear them all…
I see them all… believe me… I see them all…
No…No I don’t think of the sentences and words that describes them
I think of you…I think of you…
You the all goodness…
I only think of you…only you…
Always…ever…every where…
I only think of you…only you…
I want you to know and you only know this…
My dearest…
You come…near me…
In my arms…
Let me hold you…
And stay with me…you only stay with me…
In place of moonlight you shine on the darkness of nights…
My sweetest in place of flowers only you smile…
And now…and now …
That I am at your feet…again…
My dearest…
Make a rope of your hair…
and take me…
You tie me… with your hair
You desire…let me be…
You set me on fire…
You reply to the words for swallows
You read the story of sky and clouds…
You stay with me…only you stay with me…only you…
You bring the sense of drunken into my mind
I am only left with this last drop of wine in my existence…
You drink ...and only you drink the last drop of this wine …

My sweetheart, the rain drops…


Rain, again rain…
With soft and gentle pearl drops
Pouring on my face, again..
It takes me…takes me…
Into a journey in time…so far back
Brings back sorrow and pain
A child in me sees through…
The faded window glass…
Running freely…jumping the water puddles
Walking in the mud holes..
A man in me …
Gazing at his past…with regrets…
For the one that he had…once
For the joy of life spent…
the first love…
The one began…in me…
The time past …
It brings back…the joy…
She sets up and dims the light
Pours on my face…her rain drops
Builds from a whisper to a forte
I still hear her voice…
Beautiful lightening cast blinding light
in a white dangerous rhythm
Come to me she says…
Hold me tight…she replies…
I see not, her tender soft touch…gentle voice, cries
The pearl drops…
She gives up…
Thunder drums quietly, then shouts,
And She stops…
slips away and hides…
I lose her from my sights…
She is no longer there…
Her orchestra of wind blowing through lush green trees
Are no longer there, it is lost…
Oh, my empty hands, oh my empty heart,
My dried land, no rain drops…
I search and look around, so lost…
Rain, again rain…
With soft and gentle pearl drops
Pouring on my face, again…
I see her from distance far
I touch her face, feel the dew drops
The rain lavishly touches the windowpane…
Lighting sparks the sky…
When I listen closely I hear,
She is talking to me through the clouds
The rain drops…
I ask thee, the clouds…the rain…
You know her and you are close to my sweet heart…
My dear rain...As you pour down with all your might
When will you come to me as my guiding light??
When will you wash my heart??
When will you quench my thirst??
When will you show me something that is right?
When will you bring back the one I loved so much?
To my sights, to my arms…

A prayer for spring ...A prayer for New Day


The pleasure of the blossoms in this day is on the way
Oh, give us the tenderness of them blossoms in our new day
The uncertainty of the last harvest past, and we stare
Oh, give us the fullness of our harvest for the year

The beauty of the orchards, of white and blue
Oh, give us in this turning of time a path through
Of green, fire grows of the heart of our earth, lively blaze
Oh, give us in this fire in nature, a sense of friendly gaze

The seed of fresh life nurtured with warmth of the sun, opens the soil
Oh, gives us the reward for our hard work and toil
Growing that sparks, breathe in every living
Oh, give us the temptation and pleasure of all in your giving

at this spring, I am amazed with raging color in our new day (Norouz)
Oh, give us the reward, God the almighty, of our pray
We are in need of tranquility, peace and happiness within
Oh, give us the power this day to innocence, remove us of our sin

I love you yesterday, today and for ever...


You are like no other...
and...

I love you so deeply,
I love you so much,
I love the sound of your voice,
And the way that we touch,

I love your warm smile,
And your kind, thoughtful way,
The joy that you bring,
To my life everyday,

I love you today,
As I have from the start,
And I'll love you forever,
With all of my heart.

Love that I lost, Love that I found


It is not so hard to imagine, in unreal imagination
To a point that I lost my love thirty so years ago,
In the midst of my youth, with ramification
I lost my love in timid moment of emptiness, with full of desire
I lost my love with no wings to fly
On the wings of dream without dreamers dream, only to cry
That time has passed, with full of sacrament
To a noble cast, within hard pain and torment
I stood silent, no noise, and no objection
She passed with pride, but full of perfection
We crossed the time, now it is years behind us
I long to be back to the time I once crossed…
Oh…so painful..she tells me to quit…live now no surmise
Look ahead with hope and …she says…
I still stand silent…listen with patience
It takes me back to thirty so years ago… leaving me apart
I stood… she left me and then a hole in my heart
Now that I have found her, she leaves me behind with no talk
The pain is with me, how did I let her go …can I again walk
Is it that she will leave again to my loneliness?
Or should I just stand and watch as my life shrink to emptiness
I am …distraught…
My disease eating me alive…
Standing with ruche face, eyes weak, hands shaking
My bodies in pain…love dose not leave me behind
I lost my love once…
Am I losing her one more time…?

Moonlight...


It is moonlight
The prairie is so quiet and the mountains so hard
And the river is running
Through the hills but still
Toward the wide spread blue
Toward the sea
To amalgamate with the waves
To amalgamate with the rain drops
It is said …
Must be alike a river
Through these uphill
Through the vast land
But must move on
I am so bored
Of all these
Non echelon despotism
Staring the death of flowers in the pot
The death of eagles on the peak of rocks
And.. the silent lovers
In despair
In non fulfilled promises
At the waiting eyes
Unstable hopes
Drips of moments of time
And the fear of free bird in flies
And the choking voices on the hanging bars
And the sorrow of tired masses
And trees in the storms of winded cries
The darken days of empty feelings
And the path of a burned generations
Written in between the pages of unread half torn books
And the hearts in beating of fear of death
I only say….
Must be like a river
And must be gone…
Waiting is useless
Waiting is sadness
It is …
That the joy of passing through these mountains and prairie
Should be quenched in a dream of our river like full of sea
And our harmonized whisper struggle
In a silent voices
On the way of rocky road
Like a river running
And… in search toward the sea
The load of our loud voices of next generation
Can be carried… today
On our shoulders….

Distant Love...


Your words so warm yet make me sad.
Looking at time passes so fast, and I realize it is my life
Losing all those wonderful time
Seeing my children grow, seeing myself far away
Yet close in a different way
So far away
I cannot touch the hand,
I cannot feel the breath,
I cannot hold you close
Yet so close...
I can feel you in my heart,
I can see you in my mind,
I can hear you in my ears.
My heart is aching
I cannot deny.
It is so hard
to keep on saying good-bye.
I know it's so silly.
Why do I feel so sad?
Why does the thought of being away
make me feel so bad?
But,
I miss your arms
that hold me so tight.
I miss your kisses,
I miss all those good moments of sharing our words
I breathe in you,
Nothing can take away the arches of togetherness we have constructed,
Without you, distant or shoulder to shoulder
Staring at the sky, in these clouds,
My mind won’t stop its pressure,
But I am certain this is the part when this “distant love”
Gives us measure

At this time we are all in the journey of transition
A time of hardship, sorrow and sadness
But a moment in history
of our people…
A time for maturity
of a nation…
Going through this hard road of ignorance, and intellect
a choice to make…
Unknown …
With growing in pain…
For new generation to be born
We are now familiar with..
The wound so deep in our heart
we must sooth our pain with words
Now that we are forgotten… lost generation
Loneliness…
Is a dream in a nightmare….
But….We are not alone
if we only go… and not move
Then it is the end….
