The Alley
On a moonlit night, once again
Through the alley, I wandered, without you.
My body, an eye gazing in search of you.
My soul, a cup teeming with anticipation
Of seeing you,Now, I became the mad lover, anew!
Deep in my soul’s treasure-chest,
A flower, your memory, gleaming.
The garden of a thousand memories, smiling.
The scent of a thousand memories, beaming.
That night, I recalled,
Through the alley, we wandered, side by side.
Wings wide-open, in cherished solitude, soaring.
For a time, by the brook, resting.
You, all the world’s secrets in your black eyes,
I, by your glances, mesmerized.
Clear skies, quiet night,
Faith smiling, time tame.
Moonlight, grapes pouring down into the water.
Tree branches, fingers reaching up to the moon.
The night, the meadow, flowers and rocks,
Silently charmed by the nightingale’s song.
Your words of warning, I recalled,
Avoid this love!
Behold this brook for a while!
Water mirrors timid love.
Today, you care for a glance of your lover,
But, tomorrow, your heart will belong to another.
Leave this town,
Forget this love.
How would I avoid this love,
I do not know how, I said.
How would I leave your side,
I can not now, nor ever, I said.
That first day, my heart became a bird of desire.
Like a dove, I perched on your roof,
Rocks, you cast at me,
I did not fly away.
I did not fall apart.
A prairie deer am I, you the hunter.
Round your traps I wander and wander,
For to be captured by you, to surrender.
How would I avoid this love,
I do not know how, I said.
How would I leave your side,
I can not now, nor ever, I said.
From a branch, a teardrop, falling.
A bitter moan, an owl, flying.
Tears in your eyes, gleaming.
Moon, at your love, beaming.
You fell silent, I recall.
Covered by a blanket of gloom,
I did not fly away. I did not fall apart.
Many a night have passed in melancholy darkness.
You have abandoned your tormented lover.
You would not set foot in that alley again.
Oh, but how, but how,
Through the alley, I wandered, without you.

Mecca
Mecca and Hajj!!! I'm getting ready in order to go to Hajj in early August... Time to pray :) I'm really excited and can't wait to see Mecca. I've never been to Saudi Arabia so I hope it goes well and full of joy and prayers. I'll be a Hajji after coming back home. Wow, it is going to be a fabulous experience... God bless you all people and I... I will pray for your prosperity, health, love, joy, success and whatever good is in this world of matter!!!!!! I'll be in Arabia for two weeks; spending a week in Mecca and another week in Medina. I'd be glad to hear from those who have been to Mecca and Hajj before. GIVE ME HINTSWednesday, June 20, 2007

Goodbye Tony...
It was really sad watching Sopranos ending!! It was a great drama series by David Chase. But did you know that its singer is a woman with an Iranian descent? Surprised? I found a couple of links about Darya Dadvar, The Sopranos singer :)2- http://dadvardarya.free.fr/

What does it mean to die?
Hm! I am concluding that I have been doing vigorous blogging in last several months!!! Well, that apparently doesn't tell that I'm dead! I'm alive, yet; breathing!!! But what does it really mean to die? Have you ever thought of such topic?
God, give us each our own death,
The dying that proceeds
From each of our lives:
The way we loved,
The meanings we made,
Our need.
The dying that proceeds
From each of our lives:
The way we loved,
The meanings we made,
Our need.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Gosh, don't think that I wanna die, but I'd rather to think about dying before it happens :)
aha, um, I really don't know what the hell is going wrong with me!!!! Yet, there's a whole lot of happiness left around us. . . But, let me tell you my opinion about death: As long as I am breathing, I have an eternity and as soon as I die, I won't know what will happen next! :D
LIVING LIFE IS GREAT

Chabahar
Last week I went to Chabahar free trade zone for the first time in my life. You may wonder how fabulous was this free port. Its name in Farsi means four springs! The weather was great, not as humid as Dubai or Doha and not as dry as Las Vegas . . . The sea food was wonderful and people were very kind... Frankly, I highly recommend Chabahar, if you are living in Iran and you are seeking for a unique place to spend your vacations. . .
