Love looks easy but goes too hard
Turning around cups of pure wine

Scent of your love plaits blossoms
Black warp of hair has made the world
full of crazy

Where is safety if the seconds
cry hurry, come  on again!

Darkness of night, fear of  wave, floods near
Tranquility, is not for you who are here!

An infamy without honor, with no friend
Secret opens, falling the curtains,

My mind repeats never try your love again!
but heart tries always again! again! again!
Free translation of Hafiz, the great classic Persian poet
I didn't know and couldn't see that
Ten years of chasing wild peaches at
Every turn had led me to
End up in Paradise of Hell
I lacked the strength to
Leave this wild orchard or
Ever thought I could
And then I saw your lovely face
A simple smile and a kiss
I realized I want to live my life with you
I'm turning leaves, I'm taking steps and
Baby to you I say “Hello my love” and
To the rest “Goodbye”
Wrote this 4 years ago for my first girlfriend after being single for 10 years. It only lasted 4 months but **** she showed me that I can be in love and not be afraid.


Look at my LOVE
Do not look at my looks

And please tell me
What is going on in YOU?

Are you still thinking?
May I tell you not to think

Are you still evaluating?
Can I ask you not to...

When it comes to LOVE

It is unfair for the clouds of LOVE
Not to rain on YOU

It is unfair for the breeze of LOVE
To not carry the fragrance of LOVE to YOU

It is unfair on the dew
Not to form on your grass

It is unfair for the bees
To not find your flower to **** honey

It is unfair for the birds
Not to find a BLUE sky
To soar wings in flight

It is unfair for the Lioness
To cajole the Lion to LOVE

It is unfair for water to be dammed
And not flow into your ocean of LOVE

It is unfair to my skin woolens
Not to cover you with LOVE warmth

It is unfair for my blood
Not to flow within your veins

It is as much unfair for my breathe
Not to be oxygen for your lungs

Is not the silence of your being
Narrating a tale of LOVE?

The looks in your eyes
That shines rays of LOVE
That brings sunshine to life
Shows your tender heart within
Which is so overflowing with LOVE

It is unfair to imprisoned your LOVE

I took a second to tell YOU
"I LOVE YOU very much"

Now please give me
A million life-times
To be with YOU
To prove to you
How much I LOVE YOU

It is unfair for life not to LOVE
It is unfair for me not to LOVE YOU

Sorry dear,
but I'll never be her, and you'll never be him.
We tried to patch these cracks within
with affections so shallow,
infatuation so strong, bound by winters nasty scowl.
The summer melted the ice between the cracks--holding us together, still, we sustained through warmth & wet weather.
You hold on by mere threads, tethered.
For I'll never be her,
and you'll never be him
ever.
