 Three poemsBy Hamid Karimi August 13, 2002 The Iranian Unasailable I was waiting for you Consumed by blind passion Like the full moon praying on Jupiter I was whispering to you Inciting involuntary allegiances Like the hopeless flicker of a candle in a dark, airless tunnel I was dying to have you The first time I shared your world Like an eagerly thirsty seed anxious for the first spring rain I have no regrets -but a sigh The miracle that I imagine in you and I Being present Between the passing, deceptive moments .........Wonders of god's precarious allowance, To the umbrageous: merely blind presence .........- a tight-rope walk decorated by fate To the foolish optimist, manifesting confidence .........Making solemn attempts to discover the rightful place To the romantic realist, miraculous life-beauteous .........Tip-toeing on a slippery, smooth surface! Hopeless? With a mixture of reverence and awe I come closer inquiringly .........To offer to you my body and spirit .........Nothing but silence You idiot man! You fool! Remain silent! Stay put! Stop this philanthropic soul Do not be laden .........With the love so frustratingly forbidden Kill the desire that leaves you, .........So belittlingly beaten
