Persian Haiku 3

Persian Haiku 3


Two wings are enough!
To go further than too far,
What about this cage?


God is everywhere.
There are too many crimes here,
Where the hell are you?


My soul is dusty.
My body is too rusty.
Maybe I'm buried.


You heard me crying.
You wanted to heal my wound.
My heart...

Persian Haiku 2

What a gorgeous view!
You and the flower garden,
I'm the butterfly.


Your eyes, the ocean;
The ocean colors your eyes.
Your hair is the wave.

Moon on the ocean, 
Your face is the reflection.
Always be alone.

I live with my heart,
All flowers are beautiful,
I love daffodils.

What a discussion,
I had...

From the Gardens of Babylon,
to the walkways of Palestina,
to the grand temples of Jerusalism,
to the sandy beaches of Syria and Cyprus.
Went my Persian Queen riding,
upon her golden, firery chariot.

Her black hair, like silk long and flowing.
Her royal robes white and purple, bare and pure.
Her sword...

I'm proud to be a Persian, there's no doubt
Though some may look at me with veiled disdain
To honored heritage I give a shout
And here I bare my love in words so plain

When Cyrus captured Babylon's strong hold
The greatest in the world he then became
"Anointed One",...

Persian Haiku      (Segani) 


My wing altered with age.
The wing that is broken. 
My body is the cage.

You cannot find God?
The world is empty of him!
Maybe you are abroad.

I’m covered with dirt.
From this dirt, I am alert.
Alert makes me hurt.

I’m talking...

Dreams of The Battle of Thymbra, Lydian-Persian War

In the midst of a battle I awoke thrown
walking over the crimson red dead.
Found and drew the shaft from solid stone
standing on soil blood soaked in red!

My heart afraid but never was it alone
in cold silence stood there...

Persian Sonnet: Candle and the Sun

I heard a candle talking to the sun,
asking him why he must be so bright.
How fun it is to look at you tonight!
When the day is gone, the moon is the one.
Shadows are breaking,...

Persian Haiku 4.

Persian Haiku 4.

I cried with the night. 
When the nightingale stopped singing,
My poor umbrella!  

The moon's reflection,
 Loneliness is elegant.
On a lonesome pond.

Life makes me too old.
Death humiliates my life.
I'm glad there is love.

When I come, you'll leave.
Moonlight dims, and autumn grieves.
I'm...

This classic cat...

Not rodent he definitely agrees...

The mere insult as he pokes his tongue defiantly...

...His intellect with pride...

...This Persian exotic with papers...

Top breed himself aware...

...Not common moggy is he...

...He only indulges the classes of 
distinguished friends, and family...

...And with such a sense of humour...

...with animated...

TIT-FOR-TAT PERSIAN CAT
A young man and his chic Persian cat
Help each other out tit-for-tat
He feeds her fresh kippers
She brings him his slippers
Why can’t more couples be thoughtful like that?

Birdsong
by Rumi
loose translation by Michael R. Burch

Birdsong relieves
my deepest griefs:
now I'm just as ecstatic as they,
but with nothing to say!
Please universe,
rehearse
your poetry
through me!

I choose to love you in silence
where there is no rejection;
