A room full of joy
23-Jan-2008
"We, of that time, are no longer the same" - Pablo Neruda
within the folds of time
I grew to be a story
of departures
aches silences
of ties by synapses
of prance over the loops
of distances.
in pursuit of illusions
I became a night
carnival
of siren songs
in rains of romances
of plunging stars and scars
slipping in my heart’s
tender trances
of burst bubbles
and pretences
of another
age.
in the brink
of my soul’s
autumn
I settle as the body
of my room round
with one single limpid wall
that dances for
the syntax of joy
wall of past tears
heedless to the curses
of your glances
and a ceiling of air
across which skip-fly
birds of bright
chances.
don’t be surprised
to see how
my sorrows rise
for lack of
weight.

I feel your past pain. But remember : we cannot have joy without sorrow as we cannot have life without death.
Also, without pain and suffering, you wouldn't be as wise and strong as you are today. Would you? Enjoy every moment of it.
Cheers,
Azadeh
Lovely poem.
by Azarin Sadegh on Thu Jan 24, 2008 03:13 AM CSTDear Azadeh,
Your beautiful poem brought back some old painful memory. It was during the war and bombings. I kept a diary of those days that I call my "closet period". There is a page in there, almost like a common memory, that we could have shared.
"One day I asked my mother why people around us were not laughing anymore. My mother remained quiet, and I didn't dare to tell her how much I was missing the joy of the world and how badly I desired even just a little piece of that missing joy. The joy, in the dimension of 3x3x3, where I could forget, only for one second, the rest."
Thanks,
Azarin
