Pashang Salehi Poet Rhyme

I Started a Joke

I started a joke…

I started a joke to be laughed at, when I was young.
Now I am too old and I know that I was wrong.
I started to smile, when I saw her, but she is gone.                     
Now I will see her in all my dreams until dawn.
I started a dance I praised it with every song.
Now the music died and I did cry all night long.
I started to hear her magic voice in all my dreams.
No you do not know, till you don’t know what it means.
I started to look when she was dancing under the moon.      
Now with all this pain the dark shadows coming soon.
I started to run to nowhere land when she was gone,
Now I am tired and need something to hold on.
I started a search with all my soul to find and seek,
Yet she is not there, and what is there for me to speak.
I started to cry because I miss my better half,
I know it for sure, I will see her and we'll laugh.
I love you my love, you are with me joyous and kind.
I will be dreaming with all my heart, you will find.

Jesse Zerlaut February 14, 2018 at 4:20 AM Pashang this piece is heartwrenching and gives me that ache of remembering. It's very beautifully expressive, that missing someone so much that your thoughts often turn to them both day and night. Even after time. This was beautiful and it was an honor to read from your ink.
