A pot of tea

 

 

A friend and me

A pure privacy

The only annoying one

Was a pot of tea

It was night and rain

Pouring with hundreds of songs

A poem of Gheisar

in a hundred lines

 

When we were talking,

the tea was becoming

cold politely

It wasn’t angry

It didn’t complain

The tea stayed with us

that night patiently

 

Time passed and passed

These days again

we sit on the table

a friend and me

with the failed sorrows

 

Our world is virtual

What a pity!

Everyone crept one side

entertained and satisfied

 

We sit together

careless and free

but sometimes

The only excuse is

a pot of tea

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Micro-poems”

 

 

D ay to day

A mbushing for

Z ero chance of

E nding war

 

I wonder

how people

keep their wishes

in a jar

and expect them

to fly

 

Words

seduced them

in the springtime

by essence of

the blossoms

though rebelled

in the autumn

the wayward leaves

 

I’ve been surrounded

by a sorrow

that was born

in a sunny year

and has never died

in the cloudy years

after the sunset

 

The nefarious light

melted

the heart of

the snowman

and he cried

until he died
