Pashang Salehi Poet Ghazal

The Death

The Death ………” Azrael” 

I am afraid of Death until he is here.
  Then I will go with him without any fear.
He will be my friend; he will take me home.
  The home that might be far but also is near.
He will show me divine secrets of all joy.
  The joy that is sweet and always sincere.
He will see me without all my bitter pain,
  The pains of this living, with death, disappear.
Trust, I do have on my beloved friend.
  He will love me for good and hold me so dear. 
His eyes are like the doorway to the most high,
  He whispers God’s message and plays in my ear.
Listen, “Haloo” your daylights are fading fast.
  The night will be the long one and is unclear.	


3/28/2017   Haloo



  

* I named the painting " Death." It is acrylic on canvas.

Goodbye, Nancy...

Joe Maverick February 12, 2018 at 4:14 PM Hello Pashang, i can speak from what has been told me and there are no lies in what I will now write, In Christ death is not to be feared, I can say that much, if you read some of my later writes you will see Toms story, he was visited by God the Holy spirit, which would mean being as he is still alive in the flesh, that he has the blood of Christ on his door, or he would not have survived in the flesh.' I think your painting is really good, do you create life portraits.? Pashang Salehi February 12, 2018 at 4:57 PM Thanks Joe, one of these days I'll tell you my stories.

Jean Murray April 12, 2017 at 5:30 PM That painting....so scary until I see the butterflies Pashang. Is that the fires of hell? I wish I could paint. I can only use needles instead of a brush. "Death becomes you." Pashang Salehi April 13, 2017 at 12:00 PM Jean you are too kind.

Andrea Dietrich April 7, 2017 at 8:46 PM Pashang. I think this poem is fantastic! You rock! (Yes, I am with you. In the end, why fear something that will take you away to an amazing and peaceful existence)? Pashang Salehi April 8, 2017 at 5:49 PM Thanks Andrea.. you do know "Rock" is Dwayne Johnson, the most handsome man in the world... LOL.

Freddie Robinson Jr. April 7, 2017 at 1:32 PM Very insightful and soul searching poem, Pashang. A most veiled descriptive poem w/strong existential ponderings attached. Strong write which leaves an indelible mark of reflection on the reader's mind. Love and peace to you. Pashang Salehi April 8, 2017 at 5:45 PM Thank you for your visit and comment.
