==============
you ask
why
I gaze at the stars ?
I say
it's because
they remind me of your eyes
YASAMAN

~~~Jawahar Gupta~~~

yasaman johari, i love you my dear.

i do not know you or the life you lead,

but i love you my dear.

i have been stressed like many in this life

death was my friend, beyond an entertaining idea

and you were an angel of godly intention,

you were an intimate poetic connection.

I do not live in a war torn nation;

not one of bombs of high flying creations.

i was stressed, of human emotion.

i was stressed, of inhuman devotion.

you became my kite in a windless city

you became my dream of a world within me.

i cannot express in words

what your words did for me.

i can only share what i write now,

if only because of you.

Jawahar Gupta :
Why are you so sad, Yasaman Johari ?

Yasaman Johari : i don't know my kind grandfather,,,,your heart is so beautiful

Your glance,
Carrying the scent of
red carnations...
When the bud blooms...
When the cherries die...  
Through your childhood ears...
Summer,
I'd bring you the vase
with bare feet...
The pomegranate tree
Is gone..... 
And I don't know...
How to fly through that window?
A yellow glow...
Among the palm trees of
Agave amica...
The smell of  the sun...
From behind the
green mulberry trees...
My mother's voice...
And sliding Two white dandelions
On the skin of my hand...

نگاهت،
عَطرِ میخك های سرخ...
زماني که
شکوفه ها
گل داده اند....
زماني که
مي میرند....
گیلاس ها،
از لا به لایِ
گوش های بچگي ات....
تابستان،
گلدان را
با پای برهنه برایت می آوردم...
درختِ انار مُرده...
و من نمي دانم....
چگونه می توان از آن پنجره رفت؟
درخششي زَرد...
از میانِ نخل های گل مریم...
بوی آفتاب...
از پشت درخت های توت سبز...
صدای مادرم...
و لغزیدنِ
دو قاصدك سفید
به روی پوست دستم...
