Pooya azizi- two poems

Spirit
pooya azizi

Flock by flock they go,
Candles in their hands,
With begrudged hands that strike and,
With no time to spare.

Theses butterflies that come dancing,
From the darkness of the sky,
To the fine blue earth.

Saki
Mahnaz Badihian, poet

Saki complain:
For all this longing .
For the wounds sitting
In your heart.
For your lonely tears.
For all misunderstandings
Which cast thorns
In our hearts.

Who will remember?

I think my problem is that I empathize too much
Your stomach hurt so I kissed it relentlessly;
But then we forgot.

Atashi , Manoochehr. A famous Iranian poet died.

mahmag  •  20 November, 2005


Manoochehre Atashi the famous Iranian poet has died taday. The reason for his death was cardiac arrest after kidney surgery in Tehran,Iran. He was 74 years old.


Poem is dream, but
to see, no need to sleep.
From room you go to balconey,
With your slippers on, but no response.
You arrive from the bridge in the backyard.
passing by the water fountain. and you
Open the door to an unknown guest,
who has not sent a message, but
you were expecting him.
He is here and you know he is
where he is suppose to be.You go back
with him, shoulder to shoulder.
He seats in the balconey and drinks
cups of tea, with basil and orange blossom.
He opens the mystery of world
In a cup as small as a word but
contains in it all oceans and thunder.

Translated from Farsi by: mahnaz badihian

Tsunami

mahmag  •  19 November, 2005

I want to be in love,
even when there is none.
I want to be in love,
even when I am lost.
even in the lands where they fight.
for as long as I tried,
As long as I taught,nothing but Love,
gave me the reason to life.
I want to be in love,
even when Tsunami grabs me to die...

Beat generation poetry

From left to right, Paul Bowles, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, and others, early 1950's

THE FLOWERING OF the Beat Generation in the late fifties was the result of a very slow germination process. The four original Beats, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, and Neal Cassady, met in New York in the late forties. More than a decade would pass before Ginsberg's Howl ignited the explosion that would coalesce the disparate ideas, the sense of lifestyle, and the philosophical musings into a full-fledged literary movement.
