Poetry

1-Recollection

There was you

And me

And the alley gardens

Sometimes a butterfly flew by

No strangers

A daffodil peeked out

An unripe persimmon’s cheeks

Would blush from the joy

The joy of us passing by

Together

Side by side

The river singing a love song under our feet

A small goldfish 

Moving its tail

And running away happily

A gypsy dancing and

Playing her tambourine

And a bird whistling far away in the sky

Bird from faraway lands would know

And come from “Saeen” castle

Where snow storms rules the day

They would come from Shiraz, and from “Neinava”

From Persia

And from faraway deserts

They came to watch us

Walk side by side in an alley garden that did not exist

2-Look

I take off the silk of your love 

From my head

I tear out the warmth of your breath

That was my robe

I reject your hands

As I slide off your bosom

Look

I get naked

I go and I go

And I reach

The salt lake

I sink into the ground so that I won’t suffer

I grow branches

I grow Leaves

When you come the next evening

To see the reflection of the moon in the lake

You will show me to the woman who is next to you

Almond tree

Almond tree blossoms with your voice

Almond tree

3-With the horse of my breaths

With the horse of my breaths

I trace you

You crossed the Green Valley Street

And must have reached the windmill

Or ghost town

Where gold seekers drew guns on each other

Go wherever you want to go

I will plant sunflowers on every single one of your footprints

Or who knows

Maybe orange blossoms will bloom here

Tomorrow

Shoulder to shoulder with dawn

All the people of this town

Will follow the sunflowers

My love

We have finally filled the town with flowers

You with your footprints

And me 

With the horse of my breaths
