Something… Anything…

Believe it and leave it!

Mystics who took it from lovers
Presented it to poets
Who gave it to philosophers
Who showed it to logicians
Who passed it to mathematicians
Who lost it altogether.

Nobody saw the magician who made it disappear.

Now they all have to live without it,
And they have to live with it, too!

FELICITY

Philosophy fails,
And all foolish fears fall from me
When I follow the lines
of your feline figure
So fanciful, so free
And fianlly fuse all my feelings
Fully in your feminine Fifth Element.

TWO SILLY COOKS WITH A BAD RECIPE

“Two cooks spoil the broth”
English Proverb

How man’s children,
Brought forth in sorrow,
Till the earth to eat their bread
By the sweat of their face,
And in the name of god
Shed each other’s blood
That fills every furrow,
And wreak havoc that turns the earth
Into a mass of reeking red mud
On which they steal, and beg and borrow
And fool themselves and each other
With promises of a happy tomorrow…
And the Serpent sneers at us
From his dark burrow,
And the Lord says
“Goddamn it, something’s gone wrong
But weren’t my plans
precise & thorough?”

جاودانگی

مغزهای خالی، مغزهای پر
قلب‌‌های خالی، قلب‌های پر
زهدان‌های خالی، زهدان‌های پر
دست‌های خالی، دست‌های پر

بیا تا جاودانه شویم
اگر چه تنها
برای لحظه‌ای کوتاه

You were right.
I left.
Still,
I was right too.
And in your sacred solitude,
Right at its center,
You too,
You alone,
You were left.

In order to be happy one must be very intelligent, but not too much so.

پس من اين احساسی که وجودم را آکنده است به دامان که بريزم؟
