Crazy Me Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Crazy me

Coffee mug in my hand
I stand…

Stare at the feeders,
Keep looking at the birds,
Music fills the air…

I enjoy what have heard,
Of ‘Mullah Mammad Jan, '
With a great love affair.

I think and thoughts fly,
To distance, too, too far,
To a time when Incas,
Ruled as if they were God,
I recall the city of ‘Ollantay.'

Think of that general,
And Cusi Coyllur,
Story of their love.

Come many stories,
Like Shirin and Farhad,
Like Majnoon, and Leyla,
Romeo, Juliet…

To this time when return
Feel dislike, sort of hate!

Everyone talks of sex,
Boyfriend, girlfriend,
Sleeping together…

Where went love,
Those lovers?
Sacrifice, lion's heart?

Feel lonely, abandoned,
In the world of ego and greed,
Love, romance, are my needs,
Amuse me with birds and music.
