Alireza Shams
Selected Poems in English
1)
She looked at me
when she was listening to the moon
It seemed the moon
was going to speak with her soon
Nothing happened!
…
I've waited for a long time
since that majestic night
She left me alone
when everything seemed to be alright
Nothing happened!
2)
The poem is the bullet
It kills the poet
In your absence…
3)
Montreal is Covered with snow
Tehran by smoke
We are still suspended on the distance rope
You are freezing cold in Tehran
I am dying from somke in Montreal!
4)
Red roses are blooming on your lips,
Golden dreams are shining on your hair,
When I rest in the vast green field of your arms...
You're the most colourful memory of the fall! ...
5)
Just a letter
is the cause of all my misery
'cause you like the "poeM"
but not its "poeT"!
6)
“Fall” might be your other name though…
For you I’ve shed all my leaves
But you’ll leave
And leave me alone in the hands of snow…
7)
A bag of pomegranates, hidden under the visitors's veil,
A slice of warm watermelon, behind the cold room’s bar,
A handful of pistachios, salted by tears' saltiness!
Leave me by myself,
Every night is too long for us! This night even a bit longer!
8)
Come on! Do me a favor!
Shooting the last word is on you
I’ve already gone beyond my limit;
long poems are not for the dead.
9)
The silent white crystals,
Settling down on the branches,
So slow, so calm
Wipe out green smiles!
10)
The train is coming
Could you hear
how wheels are kissing the rails?
They will never know
That love which they've built
is destroying our dreams…
11)
The silent white crystals,
Settling down on the branches,
so slow, so calm
Wipe out green smiles!
12)
Red roses are blooming on your lips,
Golden dreams are shining on your hair,
When I rest in the vast green field of your arms...
You're the most colorful memory of the fall!
13)
Walking through these gray streets alone,
Thinking of you, in the best way I've known,
I can see your sweet smile,
Sparking in my mind for a while
No matter I'm here or there,
Your eyes are shining everywhere!
14)
Not like a regular summer day,
Depending on the sun's mood
Not like a dark winter night
Hidden under the moon's snood
I'm your everlasting song...
