WAND
=========
for a little while
you saw pain but
I see will power and
determination to survive
with my incandescent wand
of virginity, respect and reverence
in my blooming adolescence
catching time to trade every tomorrow

NATURE GIRL
Calm
Like a forest dam
Like a bread and jam

Her eyes are like green plants in midsummer
Her hair are like the golden petals of a chrysanthemum
Her skin is a lily
Pelt from a flowering plant

She's a gold fish
With fins so trikish

Her smiles
Are like a cruze in a sunset beach
She's calm like the pleasant water fall
That makes the earth stands tall

She's like a warm silk
She's like cotton
She's ever green
Never forgotten

She's hot like the sun
And calm like you have never burn

NATURE GIRL
She's

The Cranberry Tree
Since I found out that Hayat's heart and lungs have a congenital problem and he will not live long; The thought of suicide repeats like a whisper to me more than before and I dream regularly... On Tuesday, I dreamed that I was facing a window, the weather was like spring or summer. In front of me, it was full of cranberry bushes, my hand could reach the branches. The cranberries were very red and there was snow on them even though the sun was bright... I don't remember much about sleep And I don't know why I saw you sitting on our dining chair, Mr. Emadi...
Like the first rain
on a barren land...
Like a baby for the first time
touching his mother's hand... Like the Surah,
that I heard it by chance
and calming me down...
Like drinking water
On a hot and exhausting afternoon,
It was the feeling of the touch of  حیآة's hands....

A quality of beauty and intensity of emotion are features of poetry
The music department is housed in a building which is pure poetry

Human languages use its aesthetic qualities of notional and semantic content is poetry
Spontaneous sound symbolism and words come from your sacred heart is pure poetry

macabre of hope resides at one's eyes
as one's body buried in the rough sands of sea
the water of life cleanse my carnal bones
as estranged moments of dust shroud my flesh
alleluia hymns, sound with brightening candle lights
as i kneel at altar of the divine
roots of enigma my tongue praises the footstool of God
the earth is an offal and heaven is a ravenous beast
that feeds upon the earth
sparks of lightening glows like a gossamer winged with dragonfly
gory air of tussling between forces reign
dragging for my soul possession
terrified by the foolishness of peaceful ether
the soul id the window of one's eyes
it's the hope that lights one dark body
by this force, immortality cloves one's flesh
in other to reside with one i choose forever

LIFE AFTER DEATH 74
===============================
God lives with me in my family of ten, with kids and grandkids,
Faith of being and nonbeing is sharpened daily by active bids

Shadow cast few men to know the life after death as rat and cat
As jewels color reflects the glow of pigmented fireflies and bat

LISTEN THE SONG OF LIFE
=====================================
Dusk till dawn everyday
Addiction of affected
Memory of her touch
Soft cotton bud spreads
over my hard body, but
Rejuvenate mind and soul

The ''Me'' that can see the unseen
Touches the untouched mean
Feeling the real fragrance
Standing on the entrance
Watching the worldly core
From the inner light door

Away from the noise and pollution
Seeking real all solution
Mind watches the pure conclusion
Not depending on a life's conclusion
Living with the dust and crust
Passing test of the earth

Not thinking of salvation
Not wanting any liberation
But living with the actual relation
Nothing pain or segregation
The ''Me'' that can see unseen
Is the pure soul of Eternal screen

There is no end of wit, grace and beauty
But there is always a new beginning of duty
This sweet question is a constant link
Which reflects our attraction to Think
Song of life takes us along with the wind
From inside room to outside to go and find

Chinese flute*
Wooden mats...
Wind...
And full of bright spots...
Noon,
I'll watch you eating lunch
I'll get you lemon juice...
In the garden,
I've planted Rose flowers
for حیاة🌸
Sunshine...
Green leaves...
And the shining of a color...
I sewed my child's dress...
Your body dancing...
your body has the swallows...
And grapes...
You have not drunk milk
from my *******...
and your balloons
remain in my childhood...
In the spring,
the femininity of my womb,
full of apple blossoms
and زهر الربیع *
Its cranes flying
To your palm trees...
And my ears are in the sky...
زهرالربیع = primrose flowers
Chinese flute = The song I play for him every night

TWIST AND TURN
=========================
Time and condition
changes whit sun
Seekers learn
To wear coat of future
Finds reasons to smile

So speaks golden voice
Explore the tug of unseen
On visible fabric of days
Kissing a future space
Smelling
Exotic scent of lucid painting
Floating on sea of the desires

Dramatic moments
Tattooed butterflies
Hazel silhouette
Autumn touching winter
Crossing Incandescent lines

Poet knows
From winter to spring to summer to autumn
All answers come in present
From future to pay the past

piercingly cold
stepping on my dead wife's comb
in the bedroom

Written by
Yosa Buson
Do you think haiku should be written from personal experience only? This is a powerful haiku by Yosa Buson (1716-1784)
The sadness and grief is palpable and more so because the image of the man stepping on his dead wife's comb is such a small, domestic image, but one which explodes whit emotion the more we look at the other words in the haiku : the piercing cold, the previously shared comforting bedroom which is now a place of dark grief.
However Buson did not write this form personal experience. His own wife was still alive and well when he composed this haiku.
Does it matter? In my opinion, I don't think so. It's the finished haiku that matters, not the source of its inspiration.

One more step
A crawling step
Willing to fall
Angry to get up
Baby cries and hold on
Like a garden waiting on the rain

One more step
The biggest step
Baby walking and smiling
Shaking still standing
Sweet tears dripping
So determine to walk
Not afraid to fall

One more step
A dream comes true
Gusty storms on the way
It cannot be last forever
A burning desire to walk
Aiming so high not afraid

One more step
Willing to fall
Angry to get up
You must no cry
You're a very talented being
When the pain hidden behind the clouds please don't despair
Something precious on the air
Just one more step away

KING OF THE VALLEY 120

Everyone who walked by was happier than I, seems worthy
One day the moon will be mine and so I believe my world be

Everyone will just call me king of the Valley when I reach thirty
Living life of strong sturdy body, thinking no man can hurt me

TRUST LIGHT WITHOUT DEFECT
===============================================
With so great ease, You wake me up
To fill my inner and outer empty space
All rooms, kitchen, pots, plate and cup
with kind shining face and special grace

As a baby, mind loves sacred fire
As father's heart with proud desire
As the world glimmers on her neck
As armed beauty of wisdom check

You have Never been a stranger
Living within me ecstatic manager
Myself always found divine nectar
Hunger delights under your shelter

I Listen to your godly jubilant voice
Clouds hide the moon a nature choice
In the lake of soul, stars shine reflect
Trust Light, The sky is without defect

As the world turns
Turns into bitterness
Bitterness enormous hatred
Hatred from here to there

As the world turns full of fear
fear in the eyes of the birds
Birds weeping plain-spoken no magnanimity
Magnanimity in the kingdom of darkness

As the world turns into fire
Fire covered the rays of the sun endless tears
Tears flooding broken bridges in the land
Land of greediness unholy garden

As the world turns into violence the fruits
Fruits in the garden missing the genuine sun
Sun to shine the eyes of dying birds
Birds weeping weeping weeping...

LOVE DIES AND FRUITS FAIL
=========================================
I want to touch those lips
Which ****** my breast once
I want to close those tender arms
Which embraced me in my youth
I want to cuddle that soft heart
which burst to laugh in bubbling childhood

I want to see that soft skin
Which came from my womb
I want to see that full matured man
My lovely strong caring son
Who left me in my frail old age
Leaving the true Undying Change

All that noble ****** he enjoyed on my bed
Innocent like dove as he walked in my flesh
Words from those desired lips never hurt me
As I am hurting you in unknown land in vain
Love dies and fruits fail like perpetual breath
And everything goes to grave by kissing the death

EXISTENCE OF REPEATED ECHO
=============================================
The words I said in the night
Echoed in the rising morning
In the valley of my turbulent mind
Why the words of love need hollow
To hear her past in future echo?

And the image of Narcisus
Reflects from wishful water was not so stupid
But the song of Solomon does not make me fool
May she kiss me with the kisses of her mouth!

For her love is better than wine
And make me glad in her fragrance

Just release through the holes of my pure flute
Your music, texture and weaving of untouched echo
Humor, wit, sensual or intellectual and all you know
But again the time repeated echo to echo burst
In my mind, place and soul of warm colored presence
Like a Truth as dark night follows the golden dawn

hopping dance
in a chained circle
we are robe together
fasten in an aurora chants
our lion clings as coins sound
the hopping dance of a bird
wears our heart in dewy sweat
dross of invocation rains
wizardry of mere gods invoking elements
suddenly it ceases
as void magic sparks light
moments of momentary weakness
rushes with joy
my life ceases to breathe
our life regain rebirth
into the hollow path
of unending road
i was the victim of undecorated dance hall
we are the victim of un-videoed dance step
lonely I stared at the moon
then I pregnant the elements to bear a shape
which only we understand the ways of God

Dangerous turn of the wind
Troubling the heart of the ocean
The time has flown conflict remains
Will the waves come down tonight

Eyes danced pitiless wind trembling flesh
Surfing in the sea gods of madness
MERCILESSNESS sea creatures
Loinfishes swimming in sin

Dancing with sea snakes
Misconception of the wind
Fearing the mountains heartbeat
Crocodiles dancing in the ocean

Underneath of the blue sky
Sacred mystery sea cheerfulness of the wind
No spring no summer darken momentum
The time has flown the conflict remains

Break me apart
Or put my heart in chains
Make my eyes break down in
tear
You can throw my feelings in
the mud
Spill your pain in the rain
Yet my love for you is
unconditional
You may have been broken
Your happiness may have been
stolen
Your body may have been
ripped apart
And your heart is determined
To reject
Yet my love is unconditional
Your skin may be black
White or pink
You may wear a rag
Or wear a diamond robe
You may be drenched in pain
Or filled with sweetness
Yet my love is unconditional

ice storm
a cat's meow
and a sparrow's silence
the faint scent of lavender
writing poems I can share
as a mother's hands
reach out to her children

in twilight helps to ignite the beach fire
as the hot sky and cold earth meant to
meet in the winter desert

wish I was small in sunny days
a summer light breeze could lead me further
someone would call from beyond the maze
of winter freeze and draw me to her
eyes that are grey can't see behind the stains
of blurring stars and bleeding sun
I wish I could stay or silence the rain
the solid bars of all that's undone

nights in the snow when all you know
is a velvet breath and all you long for
light is the stain a ball without a chain
the sweetest death might make you strong
your gaze becomes ice tow crystal rollerdice
the trembling ground what have you done
I wish I could wake as the walls start to quake
from the impossible sound of air that leaves the sun
a summer breeze begun
of air that leaves the breathing sun

HOUSE OF JASMINE
==============================
Trust me
I know this may be hard
But you should talk about me
When you brought me up to help you

There is very especial between us
Waiting for consider this love with me
Share to distress
I know I have something very serious
And important for me to know
But I didn't until I run behind me

While I do not forget
That your House has Jasmine
While I may not explain to you
What you have for me
Means nothing anymore than the end
The end of any disaffection
The end of a garden without the flower
The end of memories
Of lack of heat from cold feet in winter
Maybe now I put that suit
And wait for someone else at the altar
As you couldn't stay, cannot stay
And I said run
That you need to find someone
You have to be happy
That it is necessary to go beyond
What is necessary to be close
to be close to be closed
And the cycle continues!!!
