Dandelion



You never came, but I never left
This loving heart, now forever cleft

Waiting, a game I’m doomed to play
But this endless path, I’ll never stray

An empty embrace awaits you here
My only bidding, to hold you near

My life, I’ll forsake for a day of bliss;
and I’ll savor every second with a kiss

You dwell in my mind and in my dreams
A lonely dreamer, I was born it seems

With a single gaze, my heart you stole with such ease
Now, alone, I float
like a dandelion on a summer breeze...

I Will Never Let Go!




“It’s easy to fall for you”, you said
Fall for me then,
for I will catch you and never let go!

Take an endless walk with me,
hand in hand;
your precious hand, I’ll never let go!

Let me bask in the beauty that is all you.
My gaze, forever fixed;
and I will never let go!

Your vision forever engrained, your scent I breathe 
You dwell in my dreams;
these dreams, I’ll never let go!

Fall for me as I have fallen for you;
for I will catch you,
and I will never let go!

But I can't...



Thoughts of you, my angels, my demons
To be awaken from this dream
next to you, my only wish.

But I can’t…



So many flowers in this garden of life,
and yet, you the one I covet
Scored and scarred by your thorns,
your heart to harvest, my only aim.

But I can’t…



Too proud the words to utter,
too timid to endeavor;
“It’s YOU I love!”
wish I could scream.

But I can’t…

او



من بگشتم بس در پی‌ این و آن
آنکه یافتم اما این و آن نبود

بنشستم بس در حجرهٔ منتظران
آنکه آمد میزبان و مهمان نبود

دل‌ باختم و از خود بیخود شدم
سهم من در این میان سر و سامان نبود

او ٔبت و من ٔبت پرست، زائر شدم
بیخود از خود شدن ساده و آسان نبود

خیره در حیرت، کور شدم از نور او
منشأ این نور شمس در آسمان نبود

در برون جستمش در هر خم و پیچ
یافتنش بیماریم، ولی‌ درمان نبود

آشفته غرق در حیرتم در عاقبت
او من و جز من کس دیگر نبود





تار و پود



دل‌ ز خواب برخیست و دیده بر گشود
نگاه شیرینت کشت و از من دل‌ ربود

سرقتت هنگفت، اما با این وجود
زنده کردی آنچه در من مرده بود

با بوسه‌ای بستی تو درهای به روی آنچه بود
آغوش مهربانت درها به آینده گشود 

جز گرایش، جز ستایش مرا چاره نبود
از آن توام زیبا صنم، جسم و روح و تار و پود

!ببار




من خیره به ساعتم، اما زمان نمیگذرد
برگ شناورم در آب راکدی که هیچ سوی نمی‌رود

فریاد من خاموش چو تاریکی شب
صدای این عاشق تنها را کس نمیشنود

صبرانه می‌نشینم، دست بر دست
در انتظار آن کس که همیشه بوده و هست

می‌بارد عشق روزی از این ابر باردار سنگین
و من همچنان در انتظار تو یگانه کمان رنگین

ویرانم و دیوانه، غرق در جستجو
جز قضاوتی سنگین نیست حاصل این گفت و گو

مسافری خسته‌ام، زینتم گرد و غبار
ساکت و خاموش، اما کتابی‌ پر حکایتم

صفحه به صفحه مرا بخوان و به دل‌ بسپار
!باران تو می‌خواهم‌ ای زیبا، ببار...  ببار

Tear and Blood- اشک و خون




مینویسم امشب، جوهرم خون و اشک
شعری که منتشر شود در شعلهٔ بی‌ صبری
بوسهٔ شیرین تو بر لبانم نشسته هنوز
!صدایت چو رویا پیچیده در عمقم
یک عمر تو را جستم و یافتمت عاقبت
به چه سختی آمدی و چه ساده رفتی‌ از دستم
ناگه شکستی تو مرا و من بیخبر از این و آن
جز از تو گریختن نبودم چاره‌ای
صفحه‌ای تاریک لبریز از جملات خط خورده
از شراب تو مرا سهم نبود جز جرعه‌ای
تصویر تو همدمم مانده هنوز
چشم ناامیدم به راه تو شب و روز
میگریزم از خیالت، اما در توانم نیست
وای بر این دل‌ شیدا و شکسته
 مینویسم امشب، جوهرم خون و اشک
!...شعری که منتشر شود در شعلهٔ بی‌ صبری



I write tonight, my ink, tear and blood
a poem, published in the flame of haste
Your sweet kisses, still on my lips
Your voice, like a dream, echoes in my depth
A lifetime I spent seeking YOU
how testing to find, and how easy to lose!
So unexpectedly you razed me
I, unaware and unknowing
what was my picking, but to run?
A darkened page, filled with words crossed…
The sweet wine that was you
I could only have but a sip!
Your image, my only companion still
Foolishly, your return I await…
Thoughts of you, I try to erase in vain
for my broken heart has no other choice
I write tonight, my ink, tear and blood
A poem, published in the flame of haste…!

A lover does...


Dust on the windowsill
cobwebs of past
Reminded of how a lifetime
a second can last

Footprints in the fresh snow
Sun shining, the flakes aglow
Matters none, time can stand
Lovers, walking hand in hand

Old letters, in an open drawer 
Telling tales of a blooming flower
of how she lived, and how she loved 
The last lines, they make me cower

Greying at the temples,
in the mirror, a stranger’s face 
Unyielding and defiant, steadfast
the fabric of life, time weaves at its own pace

Love, all there is and all that ever was
A lover does, what a lover does!

Canvas


The urge surges;
visions transpire.
Passion ignites,
and sets me afire.

Standing before me naked and bare,
drenched in light,
silent and still,
she submits tamely to my will.

Her textured skin whispering,
tattling tales of infinite promises;
as my fingertips, ever so keen,
tender and fervent,
trace the UNSEEN!

A temptress, she seduces me;
no chance to revoke.
Entranced and spellbound,
I give her life with every stroke.

When the ordinary and the conventional
are but a dark prison;
born to bear my mark,
she, is the emissary of my vision!

Without bounds or limits we dance;
we wager it all on one more chance!
My uninhibited lover,
my mistress,
my canvas!!!

Tear


In the silence of the days passed
and the uncertainty of the days yet to come
as the autumn moves across my skin
I shed a tear

I have hated and I have loved
I have failed without regret
and I have rejoiced in triumphs
and now, frozen in time in between
I shed a tear

The mind fatigued
I stand tall and refuse to kneel
for my relentless heart will never retreat 
A thousand thoughts, all obscure and obsolete
I shed a tear

My words echo to an undecipherable hum
My image fades in the passing crowd
The sound of my footsteps
marching to the beat of my heart
walking empty streets
I shed a tear!

...

YOU!

Intoxicated beyond measure; 
the wine, 
YOU!

Thunderstruck and dazed, 
my heart stolen; 
the thief, 
YOU!

Conscious or slumbering, 
sensing or numb, 
my only aim, 
YOU!

The day and the night, 
the sun and the moon; 
the source of all light, 
YOU!

You, the bidding, 
and you, the requisite; 
the road and the destination, 
YOU!

You, the ailment I suffer; 
and my only cure, 
YOU!

Clandestine and enigmatic, 
you are the secret; 
the key to this riddle, 
YOU!

You, the fertile cloud, 
and you, the rain; 
the “beginning without end”, 
YOU!

I’m lost and bewildered; 
for there is nothing but you, 
yet all there is, 
is YOU!!!
