all directions from the same place



all directions from the same place 
don’t lead to the same place
  that’s why you’re a butterfly
     and I, a moth, but one family
         the abandoned lawn
            but I care about you
        you need to know your battles
   and how to choose your directions

there's no true lovers

there’s no true lovers
but just lovers who never change
               so at this party morning
                     we create a situation 
and you join us for the wedding
            I just want to hold closer
                I just want to whisper 
                              a song to you
                                I’m finding
                         a strange way
                      to love people












all directions from the same place 
don’t lead to the same place
  that’s why you’re a butterfly
     and I, a moth, but one family
         the abandoned lawn
            but I care about you
        you need to know your battles
   and how to choose your directions

party morning

               party morning
             and we have ascribed to you
           your inapprehensible walking 
            except by lucky guess between 
               these hedgerows 
          in languages so far distorted
      among dragonflies and flies 
        we are closed distance
          as those houses missing
             after the excavation

                                               warm
                                            safe place
                                        out of the cold,
                                   with  all   you   might 
                                need  to   have   to   hold.
                          Each frame, each shelf, reflects 
                  who you are. A moving sculpture of your 
                 memoirs. It's walls and floors absorb every 
                 voice... each wail or cry, and every time we 
                 rejoice. In the still and quiet the dark sighs
                and the echo of a thousand footsteps go by. 
                And yet ... and yet,  If the roof  caved in and
               the    walls fell down, in my   memories   are   
               these  same ghostly sounds. It is in the hand 
              my child holds  and the  stories my   husband
              has told. Our home is so dear to us but always 
              within,  our temple of blood and bone and skin.

Kite of Luminous Splendour

.                              
                              Sophia 
                      Fallen and broken
            Once a kite of luminous splendour 
        Guided by the motherly wind of heaven 
 Broken everywhere, like a shattered mirror of light
     Tossed back and forth on the ocean's ripples 
       Once a luna moth on the Pleroma's shore
          Who saw her own light on the waves
            Deceived by her own silvery allure 
                 Soon the only-begotten sun 
                  A child just seven days old
                     Saved his broken toy
                       His broken friend 
                         And lost sister
                              Sophia

Just a
House
A house is four walls
Neatly    designed    sides
Some      have        chimneys 
That helps to keep it warm
Most have people and some
Have pets, some have joy
Some have regrets as well
Some    become      homes
While                 others just
Stay                   r e m a in
A house              a place to
Sleep,                 argue, never
Say grace, pray, or read the Bible

Premium MemberOur Family's New Year's Eve Tradition

Our pot luck dinner starts with New Year’s Eve soup,
made of glass noodles, vegetables, shredded chicken
for long life. Five minutes before midnight, we pour
champagne for the adults and apple cider for the
children in glasses, wait for the midnight hour.
We count down, scream Happy New Year,
raise our glasses and drink and each of
us go around kissing everybody.
Followed by our New Year’s
dessert, made of rice
cake, coconut
and brown
sugar on
top for
good
luck.
Have a
Prosperous
New Year everybody!

Premium MemberWomen In My Family

Women in my family-
mom, sisters-in-law and me
Standing tall as robust trees
Shading comforts for everybody.

They heartily leant at men’s wall
Making sure nobody will fall
Support kids morally and spiritually
Alongside with men, financially.

They’re strong to do what most men do
Carpentry for mother dear, go…go…go!
Sisters-in-law are very supportive
Brothers’ ideal wives, best moms to their kids.

Women in my family are all evergreen leaves
Unfading love from home to relatives- they give.

Woman (Poem)
Nazim ZarSinner

             I have
       always been
     thinking about
    you, O beautiful
    creature of God,                            your
      your beauties,                           charms
        are eternal                                  have
             spring                                      given
          of affection.                                life       
          to hearts. Your voice has pride of
          ruling hearts, essence of flowers;
         for centuries you
         have been the queen
         of human feelings &
         soft sensations,
         each civilization
         venerated you
        as  a  goddess
       of   prosperity
   caregiving, birth,
 responsible   for
 life   on   earth,
    children are
      shaped  in
       your womb
        who   will  
         be  rulers
          in  future,
           smiling
            f a c e
             is   the
             beauty,
             poetic
            minds
          won't find
          equivalent of.

Premium MemberMerry Christmas


i
sat
a star
atop my tree for
all the world
to         see
i
lit it
decorated
it was
a most delightful sight
my tree stood tall
i was so proud
dangling from each branch
i hung a wish for health happiness and love
dispensing wishes freely way out loud
merry christmas to one and all
i'd like everyone to have family and friends
around the table enjoying a fabulous festive meal
above all i mostly wish for health and a child’s passion for joy
love

IT'S
A DAY
WHEN WE
HONOR THE
MANGER-BORN
KING, WHO WITH
CAROLS WE PRAISE
AS THE STEEPLE BELLS
RING.  IT'S WHEN PEOPLE
RETURN TO WITH FAMILY BE
AND TEAR OPEN THE PRESENTS
PILED UNDER THE
TREE. DECORATIONS
ABOUND AND ENLIVEN
THE DAY. SMILING HOSTS
WILL A BANQUET DELICIOUS
DISPLAY.  AS WE COMPLIMENT
COOKS WE WITH GUSTO DIG IN.
AFTER END OF  DESSERT, WAISTS
NO LONGER ARE THIN.  WHILE SOME
ELDERLY KIN TAKE THEIR AFTERNOON
NAPS, ALL THE YOUNGSTERS PLAY GAMES
OR JUST GAZE AT THEIR APPS. MANY OTHERS
RECLINE TO WATCH FOOTBALL
AND SCHMOOZE. IT'S FORBIDDEN
TO MENTION POLITICAL VIEWS.  WE
INSTEAD THEN DISCUSS WHAT WE DID
SINCE LAST YEAR, WHILE MORE CAKES WE
CONSUME WITH OUR COFFEES AND BEER. WE
SPEND HOURS HAVING FUN WITH OUR CLAN AND
OUR FRIENDS. THEN WITH VANISHING SUNLIGHT THE
AFTERNOON ENDS.  AFTER HANDSHAKES AND HUGS AND
EXTENDED GOODBYES, GUESTS DEPART BEARING PRESENTS
AND LEFTOVER PIES. WE FEEL SAD AS WE WATCH ALL THE CARS
DISAPPEAR FOR WE'LL MANY NOT SEE UNTIL THIS TIME NEXT YEAR.
THIS LONG, GLORIOUS DAY
WE SHALL ALWAYS RECALL
AND SINCERELY HERE WISH
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
