Sara Tehrani Poems

I know who you are, I know what you do
You take the number 1, and turn it into 2
I know exactly what your game is. I know your next move
You say all the right things, make it real smooth
...

We just want to be happy

Drink so much to feel it in my blood, feel it shake into me
...

Now let’s get it out of your system young man
Take your guitar and warm up your voice, tell yourself you do have a choice
Lack of laughter lived in your eyes of blue
Now let’s get it out of you
...

Your smile says it all
She opens your eyes and paints your wall
like a little boy you follow her every move
You see that with her all your creases are smooth
...

So scared, so uncertain of the future
So much that the present is just a thing of the past
Stuck in a pro-longed nurture
I’m 24, but became 12 again too fast
...

If the waters washed over
All the chalk I scratched into the black board
If the mountains fell over
The footsteps that we printed along the way
...

This sinless mind is the flower matured from a burly thick root
With just one shade of colour, standing as one to prove
That this path that's risen is richer… this path is deeper,
This path that has blossomed is brighter…and this path is stronger
...

The whole of my body is covered by one skin
All taken care of and protected by one thing
But when my body is still and left alone to rest
The one part of me I feel lost in never ceases to think at its best
...

If by any chance
with her you can't laugh and dance, and
if maybe at all
She doesn't paint a bright colour on your wall
...

Living my life…
Walking through rivers of strife
Deteriorating like a pebble through the motion
Wondering when I will ever reach the ocean
...
