How did I go mad?



More familiar than familiar to my eyes;
yet, nothing but a stranger I see!

This image, my own reflection, 
it may be;
this cold smile and this mad gaze, 
they can’t be me?!!

Like a caged bird,

desperately, I fly this way and that;

looking for a way out, a way back home,

out of a hat!



No matter which direction I choose, it seems

This dark circle, forever, my only familiar path!

In the mirror of life, I see but a stranger, angry and sad
Who am I now?
What became of me?
When did I go mad?!!!


اشنا تر از اشنا به چشم من

اما ندانمش این تصویر بیگانه

,این تصویر، تصویر منست اما

نیست از من این لبخند سرد و این نگاه دیوانه

اندر این آینه عمر، من جز یک بیگانه نبینم

کیست این مرد؟ چگونه شد او اینچنین مجنون و دیوانه؟

چون پرنده در اسارت بر چپ و راست میزنم سر

تقلا می‌کنم در جست و جوی راه خانه

,انتخاب من، هر سوی و هر بر

...!مسیر من، این حلقهٔ‌ تاریک، ماند یگانه

I Want to Go!



A withered and trembling hand stops the pendulum of time;
and a voice echoes:
“I want to go!”

I want to go
where there is no past and no future;
where now is yesterday,
and now is tomorrow.

I want to go
where beginnings have no end;
where fear has no meaning.

I am lost in my own skin!
I want to go
where I can be “found” in your heart!

I want to go where a kiss lasts a lifetime.
I want to run through the droplets of rain suspended and motionless midair;
your hand clenched in mine.

I want to go.

Staring at an old crumbled picture of you;
I want to go where a picture frame preserves our togetherness evermore!
I want to go
Where YOU are to be found!!!


A withered and trembling hand stops the pendulum of time;
and a voice echoes:

I want to go…
I want to go…
I want to go!!!

My Sorrow


غم من گسترده تر از اقیانوس

عاقل و دیوانه بودن این غمم کاهش نداد


...من از درون ویرانه ام

!!!من از عاقلی دیوانه ام





My sorrow, vast and deep as the ocean;
and neither sanity nor insanity has helped lessen it by a drop!


I, am a ruin from the inside out…

I am insane, for I am the sanest!!!

One Minute!



Hold me for one minute, she asked
How long should that minute last?, I asked

When all is said in a single kiss;
uncultivated, don’t let a single minute go passed!!!

Dance With Me...


Cobbled stones beneath our feet
Life, this moonlit and cold empty street

Dance with me beneath the rising moon
For this nearness can never come too soon

Dance with me here and now
Don’t be abashed, I’ll show you how

Dance with me under the envious stars
Heal my heart; erase these scars

LOVE is an eternal dance!
Dance with me one last dance…!

A Thousand Kisses Deep



You live a while
A tear, a smile
You fall in love
You soar above
Precious moments
You try to keep
A thousand kisses deep!

You feel defeat
When you retreat
The same mistakes
We so repeat
You try to cope
You cling to hope
A thousand kisses deep!

You run
You fall
You climb
You crawl
The laughs you share
Tears of despair
A thousand kisses deep!

Your life, a game
Always the same
You feel enslaved
A bird that’s caged
You feel anger
You are enraged
A thousand kisses deep!

You lose your grip
Afraid to slip
You try in haste
No time to waste
You break the cast
Hoping to last
A thousand kisses deep!

You live a while
A tear, a smile
A glance, a kiss
Don’t be remiss
Precious moments
Try to keep
A thousand kisses deep!
