We became nobodies

though we started as heros

of our own stories

to be written by our small hands

brainstorming the possibilites

If only we knew

how to start the thesis


someone somewhere made us believe

this world is all into shatters

let the mirror inside your soul

give you the key to find your role

we fell so hard for this lying

we all broke, shattered trying

as we became older and older

our dreams got much smaller

and the earth caged the falcon

while the lion met the mirror

a cat was staring right back at her



the dove's happy ending arose

with the vulture's ample smile

and the vulture dies not surprised

dreaming not of high flights

Parallel to the storm
my beast of a motorcycle
paired with the sharp edged sensations
complimenting me with backfire
as the October cold meets my desire
to detour off my daily route
with a demand for an early rise

In the mirror I see a home
where I belong
where my lover is waiting with warmth
but for now
the cold is my journey
cruising with the noise of the roaring tires
the power of the horses
and the God-like cylinders demanding spark  
shaking me and my world
while they routinely
explode petrol beneath my feet

like a heartbeat
that reminds me
- I am alive

as I pass the bridge over the frozen lake
a frozen thought melts and finds a way
from my heart to my mind
that taking comfort kills me
journeys are the only reminder
that I have lived
Alireza Zibaie Feb 2011
Loneliness is consuming me
Solitude is the only road to salvation
For the purist
For the one who
Excruciates a life time
To die at ease
For the one who
Has an idea of happiness
evolving in a nest

Madness sheltered in order
Chaos ceased with institute
Love meant being apart
Freedom meant demerit of attitude

Free as a falcon
Flew to spread the wings
Not to reach a destination
Roamed to feel the wind
Not to discover a new dimension
Explored the darkest nights
Never let down by apprehension

I am a bad man with a good deed
I will burn in heaven
Alireza Zibaie Jan 2011
Angels watching over you
And I
I am nothing but a blank stare
Amused
Knowing that you are everything
a man could ask for
Knowing that I
will be the one who breaks you


Hardheartedly I applause
At my own misleading specious

Chasing a mirage impassively
In the distance where
no sane man laid eyes
I am looking for a being
Less astonishing than you
looking to feed my ever lasting lust

Insipidness is consuming me
or maybe intense devotion

I feel
away from my nature
the barest animalistic side of me

and you
you are judging me with those humane eyes

where are my socks?
lost in neither sun nor sin
which door did I use to get in?
keep on telling myself
last this day
stay one more day
home is burnt, home is gone
hope is lost, hope is wrong
feels like Ive been a stranger all my life,
light down - when the night falls?
people smile,
people cry,
but they say, they're doing just fine...

I miss home, the only real image I hold
monsters are waiting by my bed side
waiting for me to push the covers aside
hearts like empty rooms
flames after smokes
this comes and go's
what did you pack my bag with mommy?
a box of candles for a city under the sea?
through it all
wherever the road will take me
I know now nothing like
love
could break me.

it's time to go
but the voice echoes
Alireza, where are your socks?
Alireza Zibaie Nov 2010
Back when
monsters would have disappeared
when the blanket was over my head


back when
time was just a concept
where "light" was not all that confident -
I had self-discipline
I knew what I wanted from this life
I had a plan
I had an ambition
A vanilla ice cream was all I wanted
A delicious collapse of sugar and ice
melting on my tongue
surfing down with the brightest of daydreams
hollow senses, all thousand and one of them
grasping each lick until I was left with only a smile
satisfaction -
Long before adaptation
Then
My mother bought me a watch
I sat.. and watched
Alireza Zibaie Nov 2010
God is here,
Beyond the daring frown of roses
beyond the scream of minor C
on the touch of your finger tips
as it sets my soul on fire when you touch my lips

overrated thought of afterlife
taken over the passing of a cloud
breaching the outer-sphere
finding the edge of the world
before the end is here

Savage the thought that God has always been here
world is me,
all that I could ever infer
This time,
the beautiful journey of evolution
crafting the precision behind "crying"
drives my tears

bowing to gravity
my tears drops are falling

For all that I fear
let's start over
for all that you dare
lets start over
this is our last chance
to hold hands, to dance
this is our last chance
to last this romance
