Seven Years In Heaven Poem by shirin sheikhi

Seven Years In Heaven

Rating: 5.0


Seven years in heaven

A nightingale twittering
All through night
After seven years
Holding every thing inside
Now he is desperate
His soul likes spring of light
He may want to lock the secret
In the chest of heart
But light is never concealed
Only maybe in disguise
His friends soothe him
To tell the story of life
He told them
It comes from a vision a sight
Once I was flying
All over the skies
When I heard an impulse
Voice of an angel in mind
So descended to that hill
In the porch of love
That grey day
In dark, depressing spell of time
Met her in cage
Prisoned in black hard bars
She did nothing
But turned her head in right
Not to let me
See opals of tears in her eyes
For seven years
I tried to make her smile
Till the last night
I told her many times
It's me in prison
With you all day long
World is an empty dungeon
Where do I despise
Whole world in the cage
With the mate of mine
Set free her for the sake of God
Or put me in cage
For the rest of life
Asked them to give me
One of these rights
But destiny took her
Even further of all
It didn’t know she is far
But close to my heart
Embraced her finally last dawn
But not body, it's her spirit
How can I survive?
Or how can I reach her
In upper skies?
With no wings or quill
To get paradise
My voice is only thing
That soars high
So ill chatter
Till the last moment I'm live
