Nowruz
Nowruz¹ The mirror breathes beneath my palm— twelve days I've polished chrome. Sabzeh² sprouts in jam-jar earth, each blade a promise worth the waiting. Mother counts rice grains while saffron stains her fingertips. The goldfish circles, bored by glass, as hours pass like water drops. What grows in us that won't be named? This hunger, neither blessed nor shamed— I watch my hand shake as I...

A Universe of Love
The way you fold your coffee cup between both palms on winter mornings— I memorize this quiet ritual as if it were scripture. Your thumb traces circles on the ceramic rim, steam curling like your hair after rain. In that suspended moment before speech, I taste the salt of almost-losing you. Last Tuesday, when you laughed at my terrible joke about quantum physics, your shoulders...

An Elegy for the Dawn's Betrayal
## 1. A morning cloaked in guile arrives, It breathes upon my land, no light, This realm now bound in frost's cold curse, Where hearts are held in icy night. ## 2. The spirits of the blameless weep, Their muted cries pierce through the air, For sins they never chose to bear— Their names erased beyond repair. ## 3. With honeyed kiss and lullaby, The traitor dawn...

Premium Member This Persian Candy
Far from the homeland, when lips part to speak, This Persian candy works wonders, magic unique. The spell of Rumi’s verse, of Hafez’ deep art, In distant lands, it uplifts every heart. A potion of love rides this caravan’s crest— Saadi himself boasts of its charm manifest. Open your eyes, and at this threshold stay— The Masnavi begins to tell your tale...

Premium Member The Cage Upon the Wave
Though caged in a corner where gallows still loom, Beware — for it sails on a wave of dark gloom. A wave from the sea of existence runs red, A net cast through nightfall and daylight ahead. You, sovereign hawk in this narrow domain — Be not content, for these bars still remain. Yet I bring good news from the breath...

Premium Member Rough Life
We live — but not on level ground, We are sunlight clinging to the edge of a crumbling wall. I remembered Grandmother’s voice, She warned me once: “Boy, beware the fall.” We leap — and soon enough this house of days will crash upon us all. We were mountains once — and still we held, Like millstones bearing every crushing call. In a blink, the starling flew...
