Forgetfulness Crime

If I put my fears aside

YOU will die and you and you...

To forget is to kill


 

 

Tonight’s Morning

In days I dream

So I prefer to spend nights in silence with my eyes open


 

 

Bitter n’ Dark

                   Bitter n’ dark...

Yea, Silence runs in my mind...
I’m running in my mind’s silence

Conceiving is an arbitrary act

Conceive whether suffering or joy
Pulling this lever and thoughts’ tracks switch

                   Bitter n’ dark...

Switchmen live long.


 

 

O Death

Despair is like bottom of the seas.

Where everything sinks

Under those waters’ pressure... In that cold illusion I suddenly open my eyes.

This still depth of thoughts is truly useful

My eyes glimmer like a far lighthouse.


 

 

Gem Feeder

Pain is not fearful.

Fear is painful.

I volunteer to suffer for you all my life.

You don’t know, I have lots of rough gems deep in my heart...
One by one I consume;

throwing each in front of one of you,
my fear is fed, it becomes pain;

And I put the pains in my pockets.

Days’ Ringing

One, two, three...

I don’t like counting.

Really don’t.

One, two, three...

Waiting is for children. Totally crap.

If I were a teacher I didn’t teach counting.

If I were a teacher, every day I hummed at the class:

Hummmm...

This is the days’ ringing left in my head from all my life long.

The only useful thing I’ve learnt in life.

Waiting? Here rest abides.


 

 

Life’s Secret

I know life’s secret:

Once while closing the eyes, travel to the past only just for a short time;

Then while opening the eyes, travel to the future for another short time

This is how tomorrow takes shape.


 

 

RGB

What are all these bloods here?

Here, how beautiful has become.

Green earth with all this blue sky completes only by red.

Blade of Tomorrow

O Delphic bird of eloquence

Happily I shed your blood

I respect you dead more

This is tomorrow I’m treading now.

 

4 Apr 2011


 

 

O heart of mine!

O heart of mine!

So small you are.

I see you capable of many loves, now empty from

These eyes abstain

This creation abstains

The heart should not realize its own creation

Here I have a dropper I should drop in you

First it would burn for a moment

Then you’d gaze a little

And then forever.


 

 

The epic of smell

Praising eyes in their epically acts of creation is wrong

I regard this philosophical an error.

I’m the disciple of open nostrils

 

4 Apr 2011

 


 

 

The epic of smell the 2nd

To breathe is very important

Nay; to breathe is the most important of all

This is my time

 

4 Apr 2011


 

 

Shut up!

I have no question.

I am the all-knowing.

 

Repeating. I have no question.

What I know is the wisdom of this universe

and some others even more important and bigger than earth.

 

I have no question for you.

Mine Permanence

This is the very day I was waiting for.

It arrived. Finally.

Here, I will rest for a while

And please

To prolong me in permanence


 

 

The rite of coming

Hello

I came again. This time I left all the doors open.

I returned again.

It was me leaving all the doors open at return

 

5 Apr 2011


 

 

The rite of returning

The moment of return is a very special thing.

It is a moment that is nothing written about in these lines.

‘Cause I couldn’t do so.

‘Cause I cannot recall if I’ve returned

 

5 Apr 2011


 

 

Alas

Alas I cannot remember the time  I was born

Otherwise I’d guess my age


 

 

Your Frame

Vengeance is very beautiful an hour.

Very much.

Now stop struggling

Don’t breathe hard.

this way you’ll go off the fram.


 

 

anti-poem the 1st

Writing is the passion of ill lives.


 

 

Obvious the 1st

You who write!

Writing has no courage in itself

Shout if you dare


 

 

Pharmacy

I know my own medicine;
That long distance song I heard in the womb...
Eyes stared at the horizon;
Now I tread backward.

3 May 2011


 

 

Obvious the 2nd

The world is too big for my heart.
I wish I was born god.


 

 

Thrice

I am cold and lonely...

There is someone whom I love
There is someone who loves me

I am cold and lonely...

My self is messing around with me.
I am thrice.


 

 

The King of Bads

In my state,

Goods slaughter bads.

And in my childhood dreams I have always been the king.

The king of bads.


 

 

Noah

If I were Noah, I traveled all world around.
And distilled duality out of everything and put it in my pockets
If I were Noah, I lived for 800 years.
And at the 1st day of spring I brought one duality out of my pocket
and created a world out of it.
If I were Noah, I became myth
And you thought I am human.

Technical Criticism of Poetry

O people!

Amid of you; I am here

Hasten to me; I invite you to an important practice

I want to make your dream fly.

I am your monotonous life’s dull mass of thoughts you disguise.


 

 

Pain

Each hour I breathe a man’s life from his nostrils;

Make love to his fantasy;

Draw his fantasy lover’s curvatures in the air;

And steal his poems from his head;

I stroll in his dream gardens big time

 

I had no life, if there were no human

As history remains, I will kiss all humans on the lips.


 

 

Practical Suffering

Oh... My sorrow is of being impotent.

How can I animate objects around,

and make them dance?

Navel

Sky!

Throw the umbilical cord down!

I want to come back.

Pot

No matter how hard I mix this pot with my long spoon, I see no light.

I am a stupid alchemist.

Pouring my pains inside the pot and mix every day,

In hope of life...

 

This won’t work

I should wash the blood off my hands and sit in the pot myself.

 

This is to you reading my last note:

Do not become an alchemist, if you hadn’t a life to give.

Flights

Run away!
Don't think that only vault needs escape.
Run away even from heavens no matter how big and appealing it was.
Refuse captivity.


 

 

Heel

I have always been walking,

even before the Great Flood.

As far as the looks extend, every stone you observe,

my feet have moved at least once.

I have no intention.

I hadn’t even before the Great Flood.


 

 

Fearlessness

- Fear not!

- I fear.

- Fear not!

- Again I fear.

- How fear; when you, yourself are human; the most terrifying and dreadful of all?


 

 

Turn

Vilely I look up.

Slyly I smile.

And wave my hand.

- I: “This is my territory”.

- I: “When I come up that is my territory”.

Adulthood

This is my childhood dream I’m prolonging.

Joys and sorrows

Loves and hopes

This adulthood,

is my childhood dream I’m prolonging.


 

 

Anti-poem the 2nd

Poets are exiled ones

Exiled from heaven

Poetry is my hades


 

 

The Hour Lost

Time... Time I embrace.

I desire the now one hour more and then diminish it.

Open your eyes and produce silence in a tread forward

Hence that hour you won’t hear... So the others

That hour, was the hour lost.


 

 

Morrow Now

Sometimes, it’s worthwhile to look down and behold your body:

History is in my body and thousands of worlds.

 

Let me journey my corpse to grasp the morrow.

Accounting

This is you I amuse.

I have plenty of games at my fingertips

 

Let’s dance

I want nothing of you

 

In return of this amusement,

Make my lips smile and lighten my heart.

Pulse Distortion

I like you.

Bet your body looks humanoid

Fearing, you step back and your heart beats faster

Come one.. Let me put you at ease.

Do you see your fear in my eyes?

Wisdom

Wisdom was the ugliest claim human ever made.

We humans only have a great imagination

Just that.

 

24 July 2011


 

 

Was

Let me sleep one hour more.

I’m sleepy.

I antagonize practice.

From will to realization, the way was too short.

As short as a noise.

As short as a past to be.

History Master the 2nd

“Thousands of heads turn

And thousands of swallows fly off the boughs”

- They’ve increased in number. Wrote the date?

- I did. There was another human being born.

The word which dropped

I, Salim Ghazi Saeedi, the undersigned was a naked child

who walked

and arrived here.

 

in the way, I saw no one

at the river, I saw my face

Then, with the moon I danced

 

Slept one night and woke up the other day.

I laughed

and the death never beheld I.

 

24 July 2011


 

 

Choice

Leave the choice for humble lives.

By treading the way outlines.

Human Affection

Those having beliefs,

vigorously insisting,

with life at their hands,

slay each other.

Letting those living at peace who has no belief.

Big Canvas

Don’t distract me

My hand would slip

At this angle, the universe is unfinished.

History Master the 1st

I am the master of dating.

Tell me the day, month and the year and I’ll write.

September the 2nd, year nine thousand and eight hundred and thirty two.

This is the embrace of the sun.

 

2 Sep 2011


 

 

Detection

This morning all of my friends had come.

We have found a wave returned from the first star

They say it should be a human’s work.

 

2 Sep 2011


 

 

Future Fanatic

If the sky is the image of long past.

Then the earth is the house to long dwellers of future.

Miracle Drug

“This glass is full of my dreams

In this glass there is no nightmare.

In this glass I’m stuck.

This glass is my miracle drug.”

 

No child has lived in the morrow.

Look at yourself in the glass.

Your miracle drug is the broken mirror.

To the Reader

Hear me.

Not because I play or write.

Cause at the end of my dream my mind is absent.

Cause behind my dream I’m distracted.

 

Hear me.

Behind my dream abides ears and eyes of yours.

Self Affair

Look at your Self deep

Anyhow you know

Anyway you can

Now go deeper and worry not.

 

There, there deep, still you are. Still you.

Worry not.

There deep end, no death abides:

 

I see him swinging on a pendent seat

His eyes stared down

Calling him and I embrace my Self tight.

 

3 Sep 2011


 

 

Home

Of the world, let yourself out

Of own world, let yourself out

If you set up today world, let it be and yourself out.

At home dwells death.

Star hole

Sometimes I look from the sky

From here... I look from this hole of the sky

 

And see the life down there

I see myself lost in time...

 

But I’m here... With hope, at ease

 

From the hole of this star on the sky arch,

This is me looking down.

This is me looking down at earth.

Life’s Secret the 2nd

Sketch your idea with such details

with such details and scrutiny

with such details and scrutiny and exactness,

that animates
