in rows lined with chai paste 
purple mustard and almond milk 
baskets of goat cheeses goat meats 
are hung bussells of dry peppermint
lemon grass fine barley seeds 
a soft texture mix taste of
rice with fresh oats three fingers 
are used to sample rasberries

A Bank Robber in Tehran
Had quite an interesting plan
So he went to a Wizard for magic
And paid him $500 a bit tragic

To make him invisible to all
Being a Bank Robber was his call
But he was rather surprised
When people saw him with their eyes

As he tried to snatch money from their hands
Being arrested at it wasn’t in his plans
And his life was in tatters as a Bank Robber
In jail waiting for a judge and jail time clobber.

For Neda Aghasoltan … 


and you are cut from the throat
somewhere between horror and word
someone laments from faraway times
from somewhere between poetry and dreams

I hold my hands up
I turn blood- red 
holding your fingers on top
I turn to green 
and in an earth which loves all the colours
I lie down and sleep
I'm here with you.

2009- London

Neda Agha Soltan, was shot to death on 20.06.2009 by security forces during a protest 20.06.2009, in Tehran...

come back and light up love's shrine
in this lonesome, heart of mine
come back,get me back eyes' sight
take me out of,the realm of night
come back , make me feel inspired
fulfill what,we've always desired
come back,bring us back minds' peace
how long more,should I beg you this?
come back and inspirit this lorn
blow on me, like breeze of morn
come back,our love ,can be restored
let,s heal our hearts, to be adored
