Iranian Eyes Poem by Leonard Dabydeen

Iranian Eyes



Iranian eyes

cannot sleep anymore

vigil in every nook and cranny

like a moonbeam flashlight

seeing a mosaic

flesh and blood

colour of hope and freedom

knowing

echoing

this moment is a sanctity

of fate

we hear your cry Iran

we shed your tears Iran

you have become

you belong.

(for Neda)
