Mohsen Moqim Hanjani Poems

When my heart was tired of this world
when sadness was the queen of this soul
When my eyes were looking at the door
When my hands were waiting numb and cold
...

what is love
Love is the unanswered question of mankind
The mankind that from the very beginning
Is waiting in an ambush
...

In the middle of a garden of flowers
There is one standing all alone
Hopeless of any smell and lovers gaze
Had escaped to the kindness of the wind
...

In the midst of a crowded forest
There lies a flower in its solitude
Unlike the trees that are all honest
It`s like a star in the Hollywood
...

Everywhere we go, there is violence
No matter how harsh, there is tolerance
A man is burned, a woman is raped
But do not worry, all of it is taped
...

Dream

It`s late in midnight, everyone is sleep
Human or not, drifiting so deep
...

A boundless surface circles the earth
And it`s just a stain on the universe.
Where its left and right come together hence
But its aliens march their separate ways.
...

Thee, Thy, Thou art
Is this what comes from the heart?
Tis, Wert, Takest fame
Where does it really take flame?
...

Saddle up and rise up, O my fallen knight.
Mount up and sit tall, fallen foe in sight.
Grip up and set sight, on frightened imps.
Look up and now draw, from them the myth.
