Pashang Salehi Poet Masnavi

In the Silence of the Wind

 In the silence of the wind 


To a flowering tree, what does the wind say? 
     I am in love with you; tell me, I will stay.
I live like this; what I see is a departure.
     Being in love with you is pain and torture.
I am angry with me, breathing a thunder,
     What is this pain of love? It makes me wonder.
I want to taste the nectar while kissing you.
     I want to get drunk while I am drinking dew.
This is my destiny; always live in pain.
     Departure is the word for me to complain.
I want to stay for a moment to hold you.
     But I will die as wind, how damn do I do?
I am hopeful that one day when as I fly,
    allow me to kiss you, and then I will die.

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser February 2, 2016 at 3:02 AM I've never tried this form but you make it sound that easy, fluid flow and the beat is there, imagery is nice too.. =`)~Olive ELoisa Pashang Salehi February 2, 2016 at 8:51 AM Thank you Olive.... This form is Masnavi, it is a Rhyming couplet with certain syllabus, but its must be spiritual and deals with "the pain" "Rumi" was the master of this style about a 1000 years ago. Just Google his name, read few of his quotes or poems, then thank me later.... Love
