LIFE IS EMPHATIC
==========================
You are the force on the true hopes of wings
Kings may make gods but meaner creatures kings

Path only possible if we fly to meet true joy in essence
To know the glorious Truth What awaits us in presence

See your sky is vast and Paradise on Earth is not the last
I knew that Youth's bitterness passes in the wintry blast

We knew stages of cloth needs different yarn and thread
Final outcomes so pretty, Leaving impurity to make sacred

Now, you trust the magic of love, dance drama is not tragic
Lame and bad times with those are passed, Life is emphatic

There is a melody
There is a celebration
There is a dream
There is a thunder
There is a chain
There is a weakness
There is a darkness
There is a lightness
There is a laughter
There is a sadness
There is a holiness
There is a miracle
There is a chemistry
There is a power
There is a loveliness
There is a happiness
In the heart of the sea

scents
your perfume tastes like menthol
embalming my soul with myrtle scents
its inhalation intoxicates are like alcohol
unassail'd i laid as burning insects

i awake in your nest of arms
tied in between your *******
as i milk the cow from your mind
ways of gods you showcase and bind

EVERGREEN TREE OF TOLERANCE
===============================================
There is a wishing tree inside me
Love still survives between dark and dawn
But ancient hound is on haunt,

An old story of Pusy cat went up tree but
Sleeping tree is awakened now
Good times are coming ahead

My inner self is a true cosmic nest for all
Without any restriction of sun or shade
Birds come and make their nest freely

Birds are transient, migratory or from neighbor
They enjoy the seeds and fruits here and
Some of them breed here or flew after mating

Stranger meet here and become friends
I am a pillar of evergreen tree of tolerance
Blossoming buds bloom to wave, Hello!

Giving you my yellow bangles,
The books of the school to be read,
And painting your smiles blue...
So beautiful have you been,
Not wanting my nakedness,
Not wanting my hair.
Passing your hands
Through all of my dresses.
And blue earrings,
Having the sound of my smiles and yours...
And I only remember your teeth.

النگوهای زردم را به تو می دهم
کتاب های مدرسه خوانده می شوند
و خنده هایت را رنگ آبی می زنم
،تو آنقدر زیبا بوده ای
که برهنگی ام را نمی خواهند
موهایم را نمی خواهند
...چشم های تو زیباست
دست هایت را میان تمام لباس هایم کشیده ام
،گوشواره های آبی
صدای خنده های من و تو را می دهند
و من فقط دندان های تو را به خاطر می سپارم

Caressing the rain

Heaven's eyes so bright
Fulfill their daily dreams

Singing unending song
Beauteous lily-flowers
Love to dance in spring

like a maize
you dry keep me
all these years
waiting in the coldness of time
pervading all suitors
just for your sake
love is a prison that holds
my heart
in you i served my sentence's days
now my wing spreads
your butterfly clime
under that sheets
cloud, blood of unstained skin
I give in joy
for you solidly deserved
tears of deep cycle
I do recall
same tears i shed
standing holding your bone
tears of joy you grow in me
as i bear your blood
till i part from my flesh
and wear anew skin
i am still waiting
for you like a maize

GIFT OF THE BRAIN
============================
YES! Ungrateful people complain about the one thing
You have not done
Instead being thankful for thousands of things
You have done

icy storm, a cat's meow, and a sparrow's silence
the faint scent of lavender and food I shared daily
But for sound of wind, twilight, hot sky and earth and
A favorable law of order, politics of globe and force of vote

think about a perspective as a gift of the brain in a skull
frozen thoughts melt on a heart screen among cozy lungs
beautiful dancing waves of rising and fall on the paper of life
to embrace and touch your toes in the golden sand beneath

the day is almost done some has lost, some have won
don't waste time, analyze what the worst you have done
energies regenerate, recreate navigate and do exterminate
folly and fun, sigh and strange angels love well done great!

=====================
Come dear! Live with me
As wind lives with Grass blade
Sky Lives with the earth and
Light lives with the dark shade

Let us plant a vital tree
And watch the unfolding of seasons
O my inspiration divine companion
Heal our mind to cure treason

Your cosmic energy feeds all and one
With your ecstatic art and imagination
With your eternal blessed salvation
You are the real creator of the creation

You are truly sparkling talent, I need
Words of my heart are hungry and full of greed

Killing the spirit of love
I guess we understand
The sweetness of the earth
We can smile we can laugh
We can dance we can fly
We can kiss we can hug
We can run we can hide
behind the trees we can sing
beautiful songs
While the leaves are dancing
We recognize love is wonderful
I love you I love you

If I were a singer
Gosh it's boiling in my heart
If I were a dancer
*** my feet trembling
I would sing and dance
I would be your private singer
Definitely your private dancer
Rehearsal day and night
Using magical lovely words
Sitting by the river
Searching for the sweetest melody
Cause I love you love you you you
Sweet waves help me
Blessings godly ocean
Please hear me now
My heart willing to sing
Mermaid please help me
Teach me how to dance
Heaven heaven sky
Tonight I will be on stage
O butterfly give me your inspiration
This is thy night
To sing and dance for my love

my soul shrouded with mist
clouds of dust covers clips
coils of hope lost from the cliff
Solitude my aging soul dies with
bespoken words I stolidly observed
stymies of sky break the silence
as it boils in yolk of steams
Reed of psychoactive breaks the hallucinations
as I walk into the gangway of illusions
Imagination of insensitive days
I fade like a sunset sun
Falling gently as Satan from the sky
I am a soul being made from clay
Wrapped with casement that belongs to the earth
And the energy to a being I solely don't known
in this I gave my breath to gods that quest for me

a drops from heaven
breaks the clouds
murky sap of tobacco stain
one's heart
petals of leaves open their hands in joy
love that we share fall as tides
suddenly, my presence fill her heart
filling a vacuum that she wish i filled
as she promise to wait for me
in the void
as i reciprocate
flowers of beauty, i adorn her as dove
heaven betrothed love my heart gives in return
ophir of rings resides in her heart
as it clings, music of love dances in her heart
as i cloaks her with royal regalia dress
violent of satin-reds walked her to the seat of my soul
where endless flames of love burn slowly

Written by
Marta Chocilowska
This is an intriguing haiku that brings thoughts and feelings of our own individual experiences of birth, death and everything in_between. The imagery is handled with a light touch and the obvious seasonal connection helps to bring a natural setting against what could be the stark, cold white setting of a hospital. We can feel uplifted by the splashes color and the promise of renewal and hope.

I am thy now and always
I am thy feed me with your sleep

impermanence
learning the meaning
from the flowers

Written by
Mike Rehling
Once again we have the sum of two parts coming together to create a worthy collaboration. The haiku brings to mind the famous Flower Sermon, when Sakyamuni Buddha transmitted direct wisdom to Mahakasyapa; this event was to become the origin of Zen Buddhism. The shapes of the flowers in the image and their petals suggest a passing of time and bring about a vision of birth and death and the impermanence of all things.

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....
================================================
I remember you and your heart as bare as tree in Autumn
I will always write poems for you since I have not forgotten

The time we traveled both as fast as the leaves fell in autumn
You and I will find a road of our love won't die or be forgotten
