dana besarani Poems

A huge book to read
Is like
Along way to walk
If you are unable to touch
...

If the Roses disappear


the Violets still stand for demonstration
...

In all years
How many times
I begged to you
with my knee down
...

That cloud moves so very
slowly,
As if it carries heartbreaking news,
Fearing that if it cries out,
...

I feel that the life of the poor is like a neglected piano abandoned in front of a train station; every now and then, it is touched by a strange finger and then left behind. There, the black and white keys wrestle with each other, with no one around to ask about the pain of its cracks...

On the other hand, I feel the lives of the others are different; rare and magnificent, like the pianos inside an opera house. When they are touched by a skilled finger, the black and white keys become a symphony, leading life toward silence and a journey of inspiration... just like the stroll of lovers from the past century along the banks of springs and rivers.

From the sky to the earth,
The Sky says:
You may be a few colors, or hidden dots seen,
You shrink many times, but you can never grow,

'I have never complained to my God because He is unique and unseen, but I exist, you exist, and we all around. I am asking the truth; I am not foolish, no one is foolish, however sometimes we are unaware... When the weather changes, we all have reactions; we know, and we see, that when we disappear from sight, we pretend not to see but w, but we feel it. We only ask God; that is very normal, but we must think because He wants the best for us, and you want the worst. Then, we all laugh around... we are all sad around... and scattered between you, me, and others, whether you believe it or not... and that is which is unseen, we call God... Dana Besarani

'I am Greenwich... the ancient beloved of clocks. I reside in the south-east of a coastal city, embraced by an old homeland full of secrets and odes. They call me the cradle and home of time, for within my heart, seconds are born and find their meaning. On one side of me, time is added; on the other, it is subtracted. Yet I, like a calm and silent witness upon my throne of stability, remain carefree. With just a simple line across my face, I divide the Earth into two clear, balanced halves, separating the Eastern and Western hemispheres. In the world's clock, my name is read with pride. I am the zero chime at the beginning of time, the guide for ships navigating seas and oceans. Many homelands ahead of us welcome the sun, while just as many behind us await the morning light. I have brought the sun into homes so they can trust the ticking of their clocks. I am the centre of moments, living within the depth of a pure greenery. I share a secret, sacred bond with the moon and the stars, so that humanity, wherever they may be, truly recognises the value of the seconds of their lives.. Dana Besarani...

I adore you
I am surprised by you
You make them read me
you bring me a life
...

Our lives have been taken
We are the people always in the papers
papers of war
papers of violence, torture...
