To Love Poem by Farnood Jahangiri

“From my distant country hear my voice, O Love
Among the abstract notions, I address you the most absurd one!
I call you the most clandestine,
Since my heart you break and hers don’t move.”

She won’t hearken to me and
Indifferently hisses away,
And In search of another preyed mouse
Her wicked poisonous tongue displays.

“From this distant land hear my voice, O Love
The most deceitful hallucinatory one
I call you off for the rest of my life,
Who did rest her mind and mine still strain.”

I don’t wait for her response and
From this oasis full of rage
Exit and stagger amidst sands
In search of another mirage.
