Love Is Not Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Love is not

Love is not simple word
It is not L-O-V
Not even with an E.

Love is love
A tree in the heart
And an axe in hand, mind
Is brave and eyeless, is blind.

Love never dies, changes
Love is not desire
Is not sex.

Best sample of the love
Is no one but Hallaj…
His love was love of God
In his way, deep and high

His defined…

Against the faith of day
Against the government
And therefore convicted
Had to be ridiculed and murdered

In chains, ropes
Was walked for long distance
In public; and stones…

Not an ouch unless once
To the rose by friend
Great he explained:
"You know me but not them…"

Hand was cut, lost blood
Washed the face to reddish:
"Will not go to my love amber-like! "
Then a foot; other hand
Finally other leg and then hung

He never complained; was in love.
