Ali Mirzabayati Poem
Quiescent body but a flying mind
Crave the peak, alas feet paralyzed
Damned days darker than night
Scratch my soul sharper than knives
Burning from inside, outside only ice
Wrathful wounds with sanguinary eyes
Besieged with a legion of harms
But who fights with fragmented arms?
Crestfallen eagles surrendered to the wind
Cannot soar with broken wings
Here nightingales hunt, eagles sing
The frozen root of life tree
Hopelessly dreaming of spring
Shadow resides on the throne
Wolves dance while sheep mourn
Even Legendary dragons live in vain
So cruelly are chained with pain
Someday, not late not soon
"Hey, brother, guess we are rescued."
Night runs, day comes, sun shines
But no eye, for darkness has made us all blind.

Ali Mirzabayati Poem
Riding horses towards crimson sun
Ginger twists of her hair everywhere,
Smiling my darling enjoys the ride
While I only picture her eyes,
Could never reach her even
For a moment for a second,
Swifter I pursue, farther she runs
Craving her hands for a touch,
Neither near nor I am far
I'm not hers and she's not mine,
Now the park is closed, children gone
But I don't want this carousel to stop.

Ali Mirzabayati Poem
A deep valley between of us
No possible way to her,
She said "It's all finished,"
"Humans rarely walk on air."
Down there among savage stones
All alone was a wooden boat,
I left nothing untried
Night was devouring the light,
Dusk till dawn I was weeping
But she seemed to be sleeping,
A heavenly voice stroke my ears
"I fill this valley with your tears."
In a sudden the boat was drifting on water
"Here you have the way, real lover."
I rowed across with a burning heart
Could hardly see, my eyes blind,
Only footprints, she was gone
Since then I only got the love of God.
