P.A. NOUSHAD Poems

They wound my legs
and ask:
why are you lagging behind?
They keep me in old chains
...

When I came back
you weren't here
but the touching memories
wilted with failing dreams,
...

The cow
I untied myself to graze.
It was led to the pasture,
Where the grass grows greener,
...

When I was standing with Ma
near the yard of my house
you were flying here and there
kissing the flowers to quench the thirst,
...

A marvelous pair
with millions of filtering units
purifies the blood,
excess water and waste
...

When an egg hatches
and a young bird is out,
when a Joey peeps out of pouch,
and has the first sight of the world,
...

He, my little son
walking slowly to me
taking
my hand
...

My wife
in the hospital bed
looks at me in silence,
tears trickling down
...

Your life is like the stars
floating in the milky way,
when they hide under the clouds
and the rain drops fall down
...

Platform swarmed with ants
on the floor, chairs, benches...
hearing the announcements of
arrival and departure.
...
