Simple red dots

Simple red dots
by Farhad Zaltash

Like the weight of frost

On a thin branch,

Or,

Simmering water in

A Kettle on hot fire  –

 

A breaking point shall

Break my torso in half,

Spilling blood splattering

All over on ground.

 

Don’t cover these red dots

With dirt to sooth me and

My old story of “whatever”

Journey of;

 

But, plant a seed of patience

On each dot, add water of

Wisdom that elongates in time,

Bless shadow of

Stranger’s smile nourishing

The fragile but lovely thorns.

 

Come back next season,

Ask sun to step aside

When dots have grown

Onto an army, no longer

Satisfied by the ordinary

Space of this garden.

 

This “breeze,” may

Dance, sing, or recklessly

Drink the wine of joy,

When fire of heart is hot

In pursuit of life.

new beginning

Dear poet,

GOD has been kind to you. You are gifted with treasure of expression . Dared not to reply with a poem, do not see my words measurable.

The title like its content ,rich yet simple soft, so elegant. How appropriate to sing these verses when new life of spring is on its way.

Sensing while the words were pouring out, you felt anew at heart , your eyes closing to pain in past and open to divinity, immersed in hope and love. Here is to spring, to turn all dots to red tulip buds blooming in immortal's imperial court.

Respectfully,
Divinity

Dans l'instant ....

Je pense à toi
Et j'effleure le temps
Suspendu
Et infini

Je me verse en pluie
Je souffle
Je rayonne

Je suis ciel
Terre
Etoiles

Dansant
Dans mon âme verte

Je passe à travers toi
Eclair perçant la nuit

J'éclate dans la lumière
Et je retombe

.

Be to miandisham
Va zaman ra lams mikonam
Moallagh
Va bi-enteha

Mibaram
Mivazam
Mitaabam

Asemanam
Zaminam
Va setaregan

Raghsaan
Dar jaan-e sabz-e khish

Az to obour mikonam
Chenan ke tondor-i dar shab

Miderakhsham
Va foru mirizam

Feeling the cold.

by Francesco Sinibaldi (not verified) on Sat Feb 28, 2009 01:49 PM PST

Today, in
my heart, there's
a delicate
sorrow; outside
a melancholy tries
to forget the
sound of a
manner that
now disappears,
while a young
bird escapes.....
