Pashang Salehi Poet Ghazal

I Remain

 I remain…  

I remain…
What is this cane? What is this pain? I remain.
Within my house, mirrors complain; I remain.
My spring gone by, summer was dry, and now what?
The winter cold, my life disdain, I remain.
The sounds are dim, the sight is gone, the grey hair.
Nothing feels right; crying like rain, I remain.
My nights veil fear; the end is near, so is death.
Within each step, a major strain I remain.
What is this life? Suddenly changed, mere lies. 
The things I loved never sustain, I remain.
My youth is gone; the thing is left is called pain.
The life of pain is so mundane, I remain.
Nothing seems real, bitterness reveals, and so
What else can do? If you explain! I remain.
Tell me “Haloo” from this life, what should I seek?
It’s only love that will remain; I remain.

Timothy Hicks March 26, 2016 at 11:49 PM Congrats Pashang! Your soul is very melancholic, and it shows through your writing. Getting older, doubts linger ... and you wrote it with practically perfect flow. "In this house, mirrors complain" ... this line was simultaneously humorous as well as sad ... sounds much like Life. Pashang Salehi March 30, 2016 at 1:47 PM Thanks Tim
