You are my breathing flower
Fragrance in living room
From breakfast to dinner
From yesterday to today
Free from tomorrow

Smiling sky
Spreading joy
Surprising the heart
Sprinkling snowy flakes
In the chamber of every single soul
Faraway flowers of joyness
The fragrance of love
Necessitous of happiness
Glowing into your heart
Spring dancing soothing the heart
Singing lullaby in silent night
The leaves slapping the solitude
Blossoming the flowers of love
OH ROSES ROSES
A rendezvous in moonlight
Compassion of the sky
Affection of the moon
A mysterious love beneath the sky

==================================
Climbing on
Time
Smooth as silk thread
Reaching its roots
Like thirsty man looking for harbor
Floating on sea of words

Pouring
Nectar
On lips of silence
In forgotten temples
Imbibing inner honey

Taking away
Weight of Today's desires
From
Shoulder
To get freedom
From Expectation of Tomorrow

==========================
A songbird lives days of identify
While memories hang on mangoes trees

Aphrodite wishes touch-me not
Narcissus in water of desired Time,
Key of childhood opens
Sea of wants

Erases burning thoughts
Create fearlessness
Te engagement
Death never scare but
Give hope to do the undone
Before we leave on novel voyage,
Smile, jump over the rope,

Strong like the tale of identical twins
One existing in body while other within
Shadow enters through door of night
To repair the torn, worn before going to sleep

Gap and lap in kiss and miss of cup
Time heals, when your feet ouch the reality of Earth

Wisdom is futile if learning is not put into action
Songbird is known by his own song, right or wrong ?

Written by

A heartless maestro
Forbidden the chorus
Outburst storming wind
In the ravens of dust
Vocal of bitterness escalating
hardship heartbeats
Bleeding tears
Chilly days colding nights
Stillness of sweetness
Sparkling stars murmuring
Outbreak calling sky
surrenderous rain
Pounding boom boom echoing
Deepening into the cavernous building
Tears falling the birds watching
Wondering when will we sing
A loving song

Jean C Bertrand

======
no one knows
the foggy dark night of
That weeping winter night
of our neighborhood
But something resembling your needs of summer
Maybe different from my youth of spring
But somewhat looking alike
Waiting for the dawn coming with rising Sun

Sometimes I cry when I live
Because fog is oozing spite of tears
Clothing chest to keep chest warm

Sometimes I need to wash my eyes naturally
With true-life poetry words to extinguish
The burning desires of impatience reaching to sky

Patience is the gift of wind, cloud, and mist
I will pass overabundance of this panacea to you
But I need to make through the fog with your help wrapped
In a perfect tear strokes to my cheek coming from your soul

Take my heart to the moon
I'll be there I'll be right there
Romantic passion night
Chemistry of night
Bouquets of beauteous roses
At heaven's gate
Waiting for you

Take me before solitude
Let my heart lead the way to the moon
Eagle's eye watching the mystery
Kisses evening romantic essence
Its fragrance illuminating heart dancing
Now I can fly with grandeur
Will you fly with tenderness

Rivers breath sparkling the night
Summers friendly flowers glowing
With pleasure of the rain
A heart filled with love
O take me take me tonight
The stars will shine our hearts
Let my heart takes you to the moon

Hours tick while I lie in bed and memories keep surfacing,
Chasing the fragrant wind coming from west to east placing

My panic free lungs continue to expand for air to inhale life
Since I am I as you are you, preparing to die free from strife

when the stories of beating you come to an end ?!
ma ma
take jasmine's hands
my hands are big


من آبرنگ دارم
بابا دماغ مامان را شکست
بابا هیچوقت نگفت دماغ مامان را شکست
من قلم مو دارم
مامان
قصه های کتک خوردن تو کی تموم می شد !؟
مامان
دست های یاسمن را بگیر
دست های من بزرگ است

Today I'll paint a house
in my drawing book
Jasmine wants to make love
There is the distance between the photo albums
Its sun was hot
She wants the hands squeezing her hot *******
A laughing child would be
missing in my white floral dress
I had reddish brown hair
and I didn't know
why the wind took away my red scarf ?!
Your eyes have sticker !!!
Please do not laugh at me
My ******* were not yours

من امروز
خانه ای را
در دفتر نقاشی هایم
...رنگ خواهم زد
یاسمن هم آغوشی می خواهد
میان آلبوم عکس ها فاصله اند
آفتابش گرم بود
دستانی می خواهد
سینه های گرمش را بفشارد
کودکی بخندد
در پیراهن سفید رنگ گل دارم
گم شود
موهایم خرمایی رنگ بود
و من نمی دانم
چرا باد روسری قرمز رنگ مرا
با خود می برد !؟
!!! چشمانت برچسب دارند
خواهش می کنم به من نخند
سینه هایم مال تو نبود

Metallic truth become tubeless
Cervical test fail
Notion burn still bluish flare stainless
Gazellic gush of whistling bell rings

Unpatriotic fellow placard raise
Today enough is enough fair broad
Burrowing in as flowers see reddish stained
It is the path of injustice

Heavy metallic fire spread
Everything turn a dark cloud
Running slain water flow
Victims displaced by bullets of mad few

My foetal days are full of blindness
Akin to this, my void days will be full of darkness
My world will be shut in despair
As heaven webs are ravaged beyond repair
The murky silence grasps my soul in the womb
And releases it in my stone tomb
My beginning and end are proportionally designed
The end claims unending life therefore my beginning chose i to resigned

And many Merriment

For the rest of my life
I'll make sure you feel eternal warmth

Make you anciently in love, like the city of troy

When the thoughts evaporate like clouds in the sky
seems someone broke my slave ness and
makes me the master of my will

and stormed emotions rain in cats and dogs
to serve the nobleness of deserted Earth needing more water

Free be my heart and hands
as the waves in an ocean
as the oars in the hand of boatman in the still lake
as light flames in the candle in the dense night
as air all around me since my birth till today
as the bird in the sky from morning to eve

Give me more power and strength
Give me more blessings and
An abundance of your love richness
So that I can help those who needs help

Troublesome world
Barriers stopping the sweet breeze
Ignorance is killing the earth
Avaricious souls stopping the wind

Written by
Jean C Bertrand

I'm in favor that return,
Neither of us can tolerate this, in vain,
Season of travellers dressed red pain,
Strange ghosts, figures without eyes,
Pale faces with speechless cries,
Die on paths to paradise,
As lost memories recollect faded purposes,
Beseeching unappeasable promises,
Offered nearer to hope before despair,
suspended nowhere, reflecting a loitering nightmare,
Closer to their decayed bodies, their rotten flare,

I hope we compel our senses to return,
Enchanting fancies delude souls' Yearn,
To places swaying between sleep and dreams,
Where the unknown devours awareness beams;
See soul, supple promises have no signs here,
But whispers among whispers twitter near,
Unnatural tales in voiceless words in timeless sleep,
Divert eager faith, that courageously weep.
The closest to me, backward, we better creep.
To these worldly loving hearts who discern
where faiths convert concern to deep concern.

It must be an excellent idea
Beginning to forgive the neighbor
Knowingly it's a hard labor
Just want to clean the chamber

It must be an excellent idea
Releasing all convictions
Challenge your heart to devotion
Even with a little potion

It must be an excellent idea
Rainbow sky delight
Sweet tenderness in moonlight
Light rain sky turn on the light

It must be an excellent idea
Watching the children smile
Fighting the cancerous hunger with style
Be compassionate undoubtedly worthwhile

====================================================
I killed my innocent baby in my womb
I did not give her a more time to survive
I snatched her right in this world to arrive

I knew well in my all senses what I was doing
A painful seed of lifelong dissent I was bowing
Calm and quiet but the brutal ****** I was doing

I knew I will never hear the cry of newborn weeping
For whom the feminine power has a maternal seeking
I killed innocent girl not allowing the time she was needing

I was having nothing against her but a social honor killing
She was a seed of my love but went deserted and unwilling
If I could have kept, she would have been my whole world's filling

Save the one better half from the other good half's bid
Save the girl child, she is the mother of my future grandkid
Wife of my son, sister of her brother please do not do what I did

The suns are round
My mom's tummy was pregnant...

===================================
You met and now meet me again In thunder, lightning, and rain
You comfort me by bringing water to clear my wounds and stain

Your heart and my heart are very old friend like the Father and a son
I live the life well, you gave me, God! You may judge what I have done?

======================================================
I miss when you're gone, I wish you always stay
Im falling in love with you i guess you could say
Little worldly mind of mine shall make it a holiday

I think about all the things that you'll miss
Dream, until God burn Nature with a kiss
Like watching me walk down the aisle thus
giving your first grandchild a morning kiss

The good you see in me through your eyes
makes me feel happy, even if they may lies
It is you who make me perfect with your touch
I wanted to become what I was capable much

But it was all stranger like a fiction of the day
To hear a rest untold my love, lead's the way
Demeaning depiction to hear true shrift away
To change day of youth to sullied night decay

But with me, fear not your sight may be pitch black
To protect you is a rival Natural black hole never lack
A lunar or solar eclipse occurs in the sky and die
But the true love makes the shines in weeping eye

See the picture
Beautiful life's murals
Winter's sun paints
Autumnal touch,
Cinnamon kiss,
Ruby leaves
Remind us
We're here for a reason as
Wet ground
Wedding Bells

Pearly moon
Sound of silence
Echoing cosmic birth
Changing season
Perfect harmony
Last summer's sleeve hangs on the branch

Golden weaving bird
Weaving nest
Spring is reality

Gone with the wind
waving good bye
watching tears
Silent tears
So many wishes
I wish he was there
I wish she was there
Soaring chamber
Crying within burning flames
For a moment
laughter changing to sweats
Boiling consciousness
Pleading with the air
Angry with the rain
Searching for a glance of laughter
Impalpable dark shadow
The stars in the blue
Sweet angels will bless
your soul

Anna Maris

She looked at her pier-glass
Nail polishes drying
With half Open lids
Her toes were colored once
May be
You can get it from the toes
Green
Or pink
I don't know
Maybe red
She cried in her look
What happened to her womanly
freshness?!
That says I'm beautiful.
I know a woman
Who wears mustache
Do not make fun of her.
Where is her womanly
freshness?!
That says she is beautiful
That cut her hair
Blue scarves turned black.
She cried in her look
Her tears reaching her lips
Starring at the corner
Pink colors were coming
Turning to deer
Green colors were going
Laughing
It had dolphins
It had a blue color...
My bin still has a clockwork doll
Handless
With green eyes
In her white gossamer dress still
singing
Dancing
Still happy
She can be happy
She can fall in love
With other clockwork dolls that
sing
That were kids
What if
I fall in love in the streets
With stared eyes
I will say hello to passengers
When the trees
Make love
What if you ask my name on the
same street that eyes are
sleeping
What if I love you on the same
street with no address
It is said the laughter of maniacs
is beautiful
It has simplicity
I have worn my childhood clothes
I am mad
She grew up
She doesn't know the walls
She has no mother
And waits to possess a pass anger
Do not make fun of her
Her womanly freshness...
It is said...I don't write poems


میز توالتش را نگاه می کرد
لاک هایی با دری نیمه باز که خشک می شدند
شاید می شد از ناخن پایش فهمید زمانی رنگ داشتند
سبز
...یا صورتی
نمی دانم
قرمز
در نگاهش گریست
طراوت زنانه اش کو !؟
که می گویند من زیبایم
زنی را می شناسم
سیبیل می گذارد
مسخره اش نکنید
طراوت زنانه اش کو !؟
که می گویند زیباست
که موهایش را بریدند
روسری هایی آبی مشکی می شوند
در نگاهش گریست
اشک هایش تا گوشه ی لبش می رسیدند
به کنج دیوار که زل می زد
صورتی ها می آمدند
آهو می شدند
سبزها می رفتند
می خندیدند
دلفین داشت
...آبی داشت
صندوقچه ی من
عروسک کوکی ای را دارد
بی دست
با یک چشم سبز
در لباس سفید توردارش
هنوز می خواند
می رقصد
شاد است
می تواند شاد باشد
عاشق شود
عاشق عروسک های کوکی دیگری که آواز خواندند
...بچه بودند
چه می شود که اگر
در کوچه ها عاشق شوم
چشمانم خیره باشد
سلام رهگذری را پاسخ خواهم گفت
وقتی درختان هم
هم آغوشی دارند
چه می شود که اگر
در همان کوچه ای که چشم ها خوابیده اند
نامم را می پرسی
عاشق تو باشم
نشانی ندارد
که می گویند خنده های دیوانگان زیباست
سادگی دارد
من
لباس کودکی هایم را به تن کرده ام
دیوانه ام
بزرگ شد
دیوارها را نمی شناسد
مادر ندارد
و منتظر می ماند
تا رهگذری را مال خود کند
مسخره اش نکنید
...طراوت زنانه اش
که می گویند من شعر نمی گویم

============================
With a gem of wisdom, I turn my head to my mind
Without any bias, in search of 'That', I have yet to find

do you know why winged Cupid is painted blind?
As love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;

So in search of real light, I left the darkness behind
Grief may follow on but no shadow of joy on mind

I change my thought to get title of grace and kind
And toiled so hard to leave some monument behind

And continue walking in the garden of roses and weeds
And worked so hard that they measure me by my deeds

But, love, hate, sin and win on, for now, I know my mind;
Those that can see their love they should never be blind.

And ''That'' which governs us in all the time is a divine kind
For the roads are unending but no permanent place for mind

Jealousy elopes my heart
And pains of love grows like plant
I wish you **** my twin breast
So I hive wax of honey into your mind-nest

For I am thirsty of love
Since I fall for you in secret love
My eyes hope to drink your cup
So I fly so high like dove swooning in a cusp

Spreading my wings in your arms
For in the nursery of flowers farm
My preserve dignity I shall offer you in charms
Promise me you shall come to pay the alms

So the thirst of love be quenched
I want to drink from you to be satisfied
From the well of your manhood
Where your reflection mirrored in my womb

In this I laid in soil tomb
Without regret but to aplomb
The cup you give me
As my soul rest in forever

====================================================
Look back at the candle of your table
Wine you sought for, was beside you
Wait shrouded a need unveil the passion
Calm storm to taste the words of ruby wine

Nightmare seduced fragile dreams
Seasons tried to unbutton dress
Blouse of frightened night was opened
Everything seemed praying in a fog of Myst,

Decisions based on haunted whispers
Equally important is innocent Palace
Night and day follows moon and sun
Where pen and paper collect fragmented sky

Body marks are my Soul Smiles
Nothing desired more than a desire
Leaves ready to be sacrificed in Autumn
Nature makes you feel the way she wants

Spanking just for lust may be obsession
I am more than a lunch and dinner for you
I know your unsatiable hunger for me but
I promise you more than a food and sweet dish

Trusting me you found a priceless gem of Nirvana
Pleasure garden of flesh is withered after the Spring
Precious jewelry is kept safe in chest, not in exhibition
And you give me ancient fragrance of classical flower
