Mirza Agha Askari
Poems
Iran
|
Translated to English by Manavaz Alexadrian
Your Voice
Your voice
illuminates the time
the stone too
and the dark butterfly which is my heart.
Your voice
is an unfolding silk
which fills the atmosphere
the mouth of silence
and the dark mummy soul which is me!
It is a refulgent star
which rolls and rolls
and wears off from itself
the twisted dress of darkness,
because your voice
is the beginning of humanity
and its end.
When the horizon opens its lip
your voice pours out
to enlighten
loneliness
words
and earth.
Your voice
gives form to love,
to the soul
and the vague thoughts of the abyss.
The sea is such a phenomenon
that adapts itself with
the bouncing dance of swimmers.
The sea, is your voice,
which opens its arms
for dancing words.
The voice of the sea
is your song
which make me shine;
neither the light has weight
nor the melody of your voice
which descends like silk
on the world's body;
the word "love"
has been extinguished
in the human house of oblivion.
Your voice
lightens
existence,
the house of oblivion,
and love's name even!
Loneliness
In the house
I own a lonely bird,
my wife too.
Two lonely files
she
and me,
ah how man is alone!
