..........ازخواب برمیخیزم

به بامداد سلامی می‌کنم

چون همیشه

و دست و رویی میشویم

می‌‌افشانم

بنزین را بر سر تا پای خویش

خود را همچون زنان ایلامی

به شعله‌های آتش میسپارم

چون همیشه

شعله کشان گرد دنیا میچرخم

زبانه‌های من به زبانه‌های خورشید

سر میساید

به گرد زمین میچرخم

تا آنسوی کره خاکی را که تاریک است

بیفروزم

تا انسوی کره خاکی را که تاریک است

به گرد زمین میچرخم

سر میساید

زبانه‌های من به زبانه‌های خورشید

شعله کشان گرد دنیا میچرخم

چون همیشه

به شعله‌های آتش میسپارم

خود را همچون زنان ایلامی

بنزین را بر سر تا پای خویش

می‌‌افشانم

و دست و رویی میشویم

چون همیشه

به بامداد سلامی می‌کنم

از خواب برمیخیزم ..........

Merci divaneh!

هان ای سیاوش اینک آتش

divaneh


هان ای سیاوش اینک آتش. فرو شو اگرت گناهی نیست.

با سپاس از این شعر زیبا که معلوم نمود آتش بی گناهان را نمی سوزاند.

thanks persian westender for a great explanation

by Anahid Hojjati on

I know it is hard to explain poems sometimes but you did a great job. I like how you wrote:"Some of my poems are like dreams and I really cannot explain where the players in them came from".

Thank you Mehrban, Anahid, and Ebi

..for your encouraging comments.

Anahid,

Long time ago, I had read in couple of internet sources (unfortunately I don’t remember exactly where) that in Ilam province, the rate of women’s suicide(especially by setting themselves ablaze) is alarmingly increasing.

I really don’t know why it came to my mind, when I wrote this poem.  and I don’t know if it was figurative or literal (I think its both). Some of my poems are like dreams and I really cannot explain where the players in them came from. However, I knew my feelings at that time very well. I knew the sufferings of those women will not be in vain.

This is the property of fire to burn and to enlighten at the same time...

Take care

Dear PW, your poem has a great format

by Anahid Hojjati on

dear PW, the circular format of your poem is great, But is this

خود را همچون زنان ایلامی

به شعله‌های آتش میسپارم

figurative of something else? Because if it is just literal, it is too depressing. However, if it is figurative, then I like to know what that is. thanks.


Mehrban

This is really interesting

by Mehrban on

I had to google Zanaan e Ilami to learn about the the violence against them and high instances of suicide among them.  This poem is brilliant in form and in content and how both circular in concept, come together.

Thank you

by persian westender on


  ...for taking time and reading my poem.

I tried to give to both the content and the form, a sense of circularity or symmetry. I am glad that you liked it.

Best

Engaging poem

by Azadeh Azad on

Dear persian westender,

I love your poem, its engaging content goes so well with its mirror-like form. It is as if the poem itself is inflamed, turning around the earth and touching the sun. This is so creative and inspiring.  I'd like to write a poem of similar form one day. Thank you so much, and nice to see you back :-)

Cheers,

Azadeh
