POETRY
In your city
When does the clover become sweet?
In my country, that year
It was ripe in the midst of February's cold.
I didn't see the white steed
Tied to the gate, as forseen
Waiting for the Messiah

POETRY
I have waited for you, and I will patiently wait much longer. There are signs by which I will instantly recognize you, even though our paths have only crossed subliminally at best. Those instants are burnt into my memory by the powerful flash of Young Love.

POETRY
برشاخ ِ نازک شعرم ترانه ئی شکفت؛
چه بی درنگ ولی
خموش شد به کوته ِ آهی.
وقت خزان نبود
که توفان موسم سرد
گذر کرده باشد از باغ
به قصد ِ شبیخون،

POETRY
Blood dripping from
Gaping mouth:
Wounded monster
Musters one last bout.
Slippery fingers, crooked hands
Grasp brittle branches
Of a dead tree’s
Timorous stance

POETRY
Staying awake in the strange horizon
to catch the northern lights
green and red
as it rains on my soul
I remain awake thirsty of holding you tight
Aware of having have to let go
>>>
Hope startled from nowhere;
As it dared us to witness.
Everyone knows there wasn’t much,
Except for a whisper to wish.
There’s the darkness and chaos;
Theirs has been despair and pain
>>>
POETRY
Never did I think
that with a single call
this paradise of mine
would so utterly sink.
I tried and failed
holding the handle, watching
my eyelids slowly close
to make me disappear.

POETRY
زمستان خود را تنها طی می کنم
این روزهای کوتاه و شبهای بلند را
در این سرمای سخت چیزی را نمی توان پنهان کرد
یکی یکی خاطره ها و فکرها آشکار می شوند
>>>
POETRY
ای پرده نشین بی حجا بم
وی رمز سوال بی جوابم
از خواب گران رهاییام ده
چشمم بگشا که مست خوابم
در حیرتم از تصور خویش
وز باور خود در اضطرابم

POETRY
ـ تنها زندگی می کنی؟
ـ نه!
با خدا زندگی می کنم
آن بالا، یک، دو، سه
توی اتاقی که بوی ادویه می دهد
و به زمزمه ی دیگ آش دلبسته است.

POETRY
- Do you live alone?
- No
I am living with God
Up there: one, two, three
In a room filled with scents of spices
And the familiar sound of bubbling pottage
>>>
POETRY
سرو گونه
تندیس قامتی از بلند ِ استقامت است،
ریشه در ژرفا و
سبز و سیراب و
طراوت سرشت!
>>>
POETRY
touch of thoroughness
beauty is painful
I nurse nothingness
swaying sunflowers
meadows of blue, green, orange
loneliness, gunshot

POETRY
As I daydreamed in class
I often wondered about the face
hung over the blackboard
above Ferdowsi's famous rhyme
on wisdom being power.
But power is a funny thing.
Never a mean to an end,
it permeates your core.

POETRY
می توان اشک ها را با پودر لبخند در صورت پنهان نمود
می توان دلتنگی را پرواز داد به سمت کوچ
می توان بر ناباوری لباس ایمان پوشاند
می توان در اوج وحشت
حماسه نبرد سرود
