The Ecstasy of Poetry ( شیدایی شعر )

 



You began with a lament

Of a sorrowful song

That in the lonely sunset

Amidst the rising of homeless verses

It built its nest


From the sob of every word

Your eyes

Witnessed a tear

That bit into the wet skin of paper

And from the bitter seed of sorrow

Began to sprout


In the nowhere of a deserted memory

Where did you find your home

That the blossoms of bitter orange

In an untimely bloom

Draw the intoxication of your breath

With drunken delight

While the soft stems of the morning glory

?Revel in the dance with the breeze


O the very essence of the ghazal

Whose gaze lingers on

The forlorn solitude of songs

Whispering

The weightless color of poetry

Thirsts for the intoxicating nectar

That from the scarlet blooms of desire

Takes new life

Pouring, without restraint

The ecstatic touch of the divine

Into the numb body of words
