Sara Pakdoost Poems

Death is a classroom
A corpse, the teacher
The living, students
The lesson taught
...

After the red sunset
An eerie darkness ensues
Blood is no longer
Red
...

Life is a film
Produced by nature
Directed by fate
And you the star
...

Angels walk by you
when you stand
sing heavenly
when you smile
...

The autumn leaf
falls so gracefully
happy to have been green once
glad now to be free
...

After midnight
The world seems to scorn me
The sky in its prime
Glitters
...

You are most beautiful
When you hurt
When your eyes fight back the tears
When your heart moans pathetically
...

Shelter me
In your arms;
Like an injured bird
Let me live my hours there
...

When misery attacks
Surrender your heart
Let the darkness
Invade your soul
...

Happiness is not a gift
It is bought and sold
Inconsistent
It may be taken
...
