sarah Jabbari Poems

I draw your face in my dreams
And enliven our dead memories
Your face fades into the darkness
But still I can feel you breathe
...

When I was a kid
I wished I could lick the moon like an ice-cream
I guessed it must be sweet like my dreams
...

La la la la la la la la
Sleep my little innocent doll
This world for us is small
Close your very nice eyes
...

the cat in the rain
the girl all in tears
the shot in her brain
the place is no fears
...

I'm not afraid of death
If I'd have loved you enough
If I'd loved you since my birth
Or since God made the earth
...

It's one hundred winters I'm busy with loving you
Soon it'll be spring and I know what I'm going to do

I will love you in the midsummer and rainy November too

I'm busy with loving you while I'm in the crowd

...

I wonder if
When I was rolling in the sin
did God himself push me in
I was losing myself
...

I feel like I need to write another poem for you
I think there are still many untold words
That I'm sure you'll never know the truth
Well, I''m in the bus coming back home
...

Your eyes are cold
My heart shakes
But I'm bold
My life won't break
...
