Two o'clock this Wednesday afternoon
protected by tall walls, but I have to go
inside
the sun is too hot
It is about getting a deep, lasting tan
my vanity has no limit
gave me skin cancer
I will not write anything...

PersiaPersia, my homeland,

Hemisphere In BetweenWinter's subtle brush and Spring's balmy stroke
On ragged frost to glossy flowers
Will on with the heaven's wheel go—
A passing through your new older hours,
The sun's condolences, for dark power.
As you've preened birdsong into my fear,...

In darkness looms a shadowy figure,
A demon theif of joy and delight,
It slinks behind our backs and whispers sinister word,
Bidding us to see through its eyeholes instead.

Maybe We Can Use Electrolysis Instead of Immolationto free this specter from its host
caught in a body like bear trap
a house made of arms that can't let go
my hearth’s flame is selfish,
unwilling to part with smoke
without separation i will choke
at the memory...

The beauty and the felonOnce upon a time
Behold the stream of everlasting dote
The fiddle and a young stag
Cute, happy, naive young love
Happiness lighten their infinite world
Hidden deep in those pages of memories
Prompt the deed sad...

Put a Light in that AtticThere's a space with no light.
So much crammed up there!
Wonderful treasures in the front,
Trash in behind.
Images and memories all muddled together.
Loads of ideas and half thought out plans
scattered all over the place.
Should have had some...

eyes not straying far
from the highway to where,
set back and obscured
by scrub,
an abandoned farm
is slowly succumbing to rot.
I catch a glimpse
of an old cart out front
and stop.
Nothing moves...

When I think of youWhen I think of you, a memory awaits.
So deep within me that walls crumble at the sheer force of your gaze.
When I think of you, a sweet smell arrives.
Like fresh baked buns or the odor...

ScarsVoices rush towards me all at once,
Which I've been contemplating about since months.
It's the frozen heart of mine,
Which stops the other half of me from being kind.
Personality clashes at its peak,
There's no place left...
