Light Of Your Eyes


Who are you, that without you
I'm so restless
Nights, sleepless
Drenched with your thoughts

What are you
From each wave of your smile
I'm like a lost boat
In a whirlpool


In which dawn
On which white horse
Which god
From which universe are you
On which shoreline
from which shell
In which pasture
on which gentle breeze
Which jug of wine
Did you come from

How did I come
your way so suddenly
Ah, your sweet look
what it did to my heart
Now I dwell with that look
Abide in that look

Which implant has been planted
from you within me
Every cell of my being
On seeing you
Dances
Sings

An impossible dream
To want to be with you
I ask only one word with you
Tell me to save you
From the mouth of the lion
To go and die in the mouth of the lion
Shear the heart of the mountain
Pluck the stars from the sky

Whatever you may say
On friendship, I swear
Ask what you want
But never for patience

Patience, is that long road
tied to death
You're an ultimate wish
My arms cannot reach
The far away hope
and my feet are tired


Your whole being radiates love
But I remain deprived
Green, the light
of your eyes, but still
My road to you stays closed

The Secret

From the realm of sea
With maternal love
Rushed to sandy shores,
Water.

Round the sand she turned
Washed away the gloom
Off its dusty face,
Water.

Of the sand dwellers,
I am not aware,
What the sandy shore
Told the tender wave.
That to kill herself,
Time and time again
Hit her head against
Rock and stone and sand,
Water.

مرغ آفتاب

ای مرغ آفتاب

،با خود مرا ببر به دیاری که همچو باد

،آزاد و شاد پای به هرجا توان نهاد

گنجشک پر شکسته ی باغ محبتم

؟تا کی در این بیابان سر زیر پر نهم

با خود مرا ببر به چمنزارهای دور

.شاید به یک درخت رسم نغمه سر دهم

من بی قرار و تشنه ی پروازم

تا خود کجا رسم به هر آوازم
