Every morning, on my way to work
I see this "old" man (in his seventies)
Walking his beloved wife to the bus stop
Her bag in his right hand
The other hand interlocked in hers

I smile right behind them
as they take step after step
talking to each other
I could hear the tone of love
in their voice
I never hear the words
(not my business I guess)

Their eyes would meet frequently
as they talk and walk
With smile blooming on their faces
I never tried to overtake them
'cause it's such a beauty to behold
A proof to me that love never gets old

At the stop sign,
He carefully places the bag back
in her hand,
followed by a short hug
Before turning his back
to head for their home

It's such a wonderful sight and
It has never failed to
leave me in awe every single time.

You
One look
I was consumed
Pulled into quicksand
I was burning
You devoured
Me

I
Gave all
Under heated touch
Dissolving into steam
I touched stars
Tied to
You

We
Crested peaks
with passion glow
How we were
Loving, living, young
Consumed with
Us



What happened, it happened
It happened, what happened?

LOVE bit me like a piranha
Stabbed my heart with an arrow
And steamed me to a pale white

LOVE exposed me with dark and light
Now I don't understand life
The good or bad between dark & light

My whole world seems up-side-down
Or is it down-side-up?
I was walking the wrong path of life
Your LOVE showed me
The right path of LOVE

What happened, it happened
It happened, what happened?

No storm now touches our tree
Our roots of LOVE
Go deep below the ocean-sea

We're not confused anymore
Now our tree touches the sky
Sheltering birds nesting within
Providing shade to tired life-travelers

When I am thirsty of YOU -
I dry my leaves

There is a fall every spring
And your LOVE rains on me
To sprout shoots and leaves within me

I bloom to colors and bear fruits
Your creeper weaves its web around me
To sow seeds of LOVE within me

What happened, LOVE happened
It happened, LOVE happened







BLOWBALL fluffs

Who has been able to change
These seeds of faith?

Scattered all over
Existing around
Blown in breeze
Those shining silver lines

Never-ending flights
Hopeful wishes of breath
Sounding wind chimes

Don't even try
To change these HONEYSUCKLES

The sadness that surrender
Of round joys that fall on souls

SWAMP MILKWEEDS are
Flowers under sunlit blues
Stars under moonlit skies

Hymns of solitude
Floating around

Always FREE flying
Outside personal prisons

Humans should not
Try to reform these JEWELWEEDS

Pride of LOVE
Carrying dreamZ
Of summer LOVE-Rz

Dandy-like...
Lioness with a mane
Adorning daisies within

Liberating caged passions
Beneath the blue skies

Into warm romances..
Sacred than God/dess

Rainbow colored
Burning LOVE of coolness

Blooming blossoming wishes
Frail in its vulnerability

Who nourishes these CANARY THISTLE?

Photosynthesis of two SOUL
Within core of it lives
A SOUL continent

Beyond day-dreamZ and
Borders of consciousness

Creating a paradise on earth
Of muses and creators

A born-BELOVEDz first wish
A dying-LOVERz last regret

Watch the garden grown
Of these STAGHORN SUMAC
Without presence of any seeds
Drifting in search of LOVE

So let's chase OXALIS
And harvest POKEWEEDS

We all are born with
The canticles of
TARAXACUM within

Make mine and yours sings
The SPIDERWORT Rhapsody

It always gets better
Riding a Dandelion puff

OUR MARSH MARIGOLD "LOVE"




I will make a balloon for you...
My sister's eyes are smiling
Knowing you in all the rays of the sun
Being alive with you all the times
Giving me flight to the blue skies
with smiling jasmine flowers
with the whiteness of dandelions
and the rainbow of my sister's laughter
How people are more beautiful, there
I will make a balloon for you...
Putting on children's clothes,
We steal all the tears and smiles from them
I'm dreaming,
My sister
falling on the ground
from my father's and mother's hands
Running to her...
Cleaning the dust on her hat and dress
Taking her hands
Walking together
Finding her small hands
in the darkness of my heart, like a light
I'm crying,
Traveling, back to the past
Telling her : you don't know how much
you've grown up now!!!
A time that cannot be repeated anymore...
Friday morning,
Waking up with tears
I'm dreaming...
Siting alongside the flowers with you
I can kiss your lips for the first time
Your eyes are innocent till now, ''my God of jasmine flowers''
I love you
I love you
I love you
Giving your kind heart to God
and never leave you alone
Remembering a beautiful girl
Having black hair
in the scorching evenings of summer
wearing golden earrings
Siting on all the unhappy bicycles and
Making love to them
Not having the warmth of your eyes,''God of jasmine flower''
My mother, laughing at your hands
I love the song of birds...
I will make a balloon for you
under the shadow of the trees
which I've made my house
Somewhere that I've drawn eyes
Now, I'm seeing white clouds, round
Please, do not take pencil and paper from me...

...بادبادکی برایت خواهم ساخت
چشمان خواهرم خندیده اند
در تمام اشعه های خورشید
تو را می شناسم
در تمام زمان ها
با تو زنده خواهم بود
مرا به سوی آسمان های آبی پرواز بدهید
با گل های شاد یاسمن
با سفیدی قاصدک ها
...و رنگین کمان خنده های خواهرم
چقدر آدم ها آن جا زیباترند
...بادبادکی برای تو خواهم ساخت
لباس های کودکانه به تن می کنم
تمام اشک ها و لبخندهایشان را دزدیده ایم
خواب می بینم
خواهرم
از دست پدرومادرم
به زمین می خورد
من به سمت او دویده ام
خاک های روی کلاه و لباسش را پاک می کنم
دست هایش را گرفتم
با هم راه می رویم
دست های کوچکش مانند نور
در تاریکی قلبم پیدا می شوند
...دارم گریه می کنم
به زمان گذشته سفر کرده بودم
به او گفتم : تو نمی دانی
!!! الآن چقدر بزرگ شده ای
...زمانی که دیگر تکرار نمی شود
صبح جمعه
...با گریه از خواب می پرم
خواب می بینم
با تو در کنار گل ها نشسته ام
دیگر می توانم برای اولین بار
لب های تو را ببوسم
چشم هایت تاکنون معصوم بوده اند
'' خدای همیشه گل یاسمن من''
دوستت دارم
دوستت دارم
دوستت دارم
من قلب مهربان تو را به خدا می سپارم
و هیچوقت تنهایت نمی گذارم
دختری زیبا را به خاطر بیاور
که موهایی مشکی دارد
در عصرهای گرم تابستان
با گوشواره های طلایی در گوشش
روی تمام دوچرخه های ناراحت می نشیند
و هم آغوشی می کند
گرمای چشم های تو را ندارد
''خدای گل یاسمن''
مادرم به دست های تو می خندد
...صدای پرنده ها را دوست دارم
...بادبادکی خواهم ساخت
زیر سایه ی درختانی که خانه ام را ساخته ام
جایی که چشم ها را نقاشی کشیده ام
...دیگر ابرهای سفید را گرد می بینم
خواهش می کنم
مداد و کاغذم را از من نگیرید

Bitterness is the taste of fiery love grown cold
On a lover's breath

Putrid is the smell of a well worn out fantasy
left hanging in your secret closet

Rancid is the look of unrequited love
On once vibrant lovers' lips

Hardened are the veins of a
desperate old fool
Longing for love

Cursed was the day I let you inside
The exquisite warmth
that is my beating heart
Getting more mileage out of that brief affair.. Because  it was preceded by an over decade long distance friendship , which I miss. Plus, I really really like the guy.. As in love like. . And I don't easily find myself so taken with anyone in that way.....

I will silently watch
my love seed grow
inside heart.
It’s incubated by breath,
and smiles collected everyday.
It expands with footsteps of dance
even when clouds appear.
For grey formations bring rain
they water love seed
and make it blossom divinely
for all the world to see.
It’s only through the heart that one can gain wisdom divine;
For love not words (from thinking)
makes peacefulness grow
so ego becomes dormant
and can’t not rear its ugly head.

Inspired by Dr. Peter Lim  Many Thanks
