Persia

Persia, my homeland,
an ancient domain
a realm of poets' refrain
memories of love's seasons renew

Eternal springs flourish under the sun
Where women are cherished, like morning dew
Not to be tormented, but wrapped in loves warmth
In a life of tenderness, humanity's due

Let us bury evil in the sands of time
In this land where stories often untold
Speak of beauty, grace, and women's dreams
Persia's heart, a tale to behold.

Oh beautiful one
your absence, my hearts death 
I shall whisper your sweet songs forever
Dilam Barayat tang shuda

I can't imagine how hard that would be to leave a country that you had learned to love and come to another to take up residence. I imagine that my ancestors faced the same dilemma. I often wonder what it would be like to return where my ancestors lived before they came here. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

An incredibly moving ode to one's native place. You brought to light the attributes of beauty, elegance, and women's hopes in this region where tales are frequently unsung, Aysha And one of the great Persian poets is Rumi. A truly moving poem!

This is a beautiful poem. A woman has no greater happiness than to have been loved. These words spoke of deep romance. I enjoyed it's deep emotion.

I thought Persia is now Iran. Or maybe it is a region with its own traditions but not independent. Don't know much really. Your poem is wonderful. our rhymes perfect. Mine are atrocious.
