Poetry  Write for The Iranian Meeting Time Ahmad Shamlu's Mi'aad (Persian text) Translated by Laleh Khalili August 12, 1999 The Iranian I love you beyond the frontiers of your flesh grant me mirrors and eager fireflies luminescence and wine exalted skies and the spacious arch of the bridge grant me birds and rainbows and repeat the abundance of the absolute melody in the music you bedeck *** I love you beyond the borders of my flesh upon that distant vista where the prophesy of bodies ends and the blaze and fervor of throbbings and desires repose entirely and meaning abandons the cast of form as if a soul, its carrion at the end of its excursion, forsaken to the vultures of finalities... beyond love I love you beyond the curtains and colors grant me the promise of an encounter beyond the borders of our bodies Ahmad Shamlu From Aida in the Mirror - Send a comment for The Iranian letters section - Send a comment to the writer, Laleh Khalili Related More translations of Ahmad Shamlu poetry by Laleh Khalili: But a sigh Shamlu's Beh joz aah-e hasrati keh baa man nist July 9, 1999 The luminous horizon Shamlu's Ofogh-e Roshan June 22, 1999 * Shamlu A small tribute * Laleh Khalili's articles index Links * Arts & literature * Cover stories * Bookstore * Who's who * Subscribe to The Iranian Times * Would you like to be featured in The Iranian?
