 <title>For the lovely Polish Couple!</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/kouroush-sassanian/lovely-polish-couple</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;For the &lt;a href=&quot;/main/singlepage/2008/iran-polish-lovers&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;lovely Polish Couple&lt;/a&gt;! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-------------------------------- &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Love happens&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A sudden wind from the East beckoned &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eyes fixed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hands gripped with anticipation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A journey of love in an ancient land&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hold me, inhale a thousand breaths of lovers embraced in eternity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take those steps and roads where love carved eternal bows and bends in life&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take my hand back and place it on the map&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Close your eyes, this is where love happens&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>The Marine</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/kouroush-sassanian/marine</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
What airline does the Marine take after he is discharged to come back to the U.S.?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I was surprised, but the answer for those marketing majors may not surprise you.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Yes, it does not involve bombing of Iran or the Olympics or forgiving JJ or you or anyone else! It is just a bad movie that&#039;s good to watch when you need a good laugh.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
And, when you see a 747 Iran Air you say to yourself WTF, he is flying back to the U.S. on an Iran Air flight, well, one can dream . . .

 <title>Unwilling audience</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/kouroush-sassanian/unwilling-audience</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Unwilling audience in your cruel theater,&lt;br /&gt;
Long to be held by you, pitiless “g”od of Pain,&lt;br /&gt;
Bound to worship by last reluctant vows, meaningless,&lt;br /&gt;
My tired heart girts with suffering, and brows&lt;br /&gt;
Anointed with perpetual weariness for you were swept away,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Long have I borne your love, through the pain -&lt;br /&gt;
Of rigorous years, sad days and slumberless nights,&lt;br /&gt;
Performing my inexorable rites in the shadow of your heights – never noticed,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/kouroush-sassanian/unwilling-audience&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Aks ha!</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/kouroush-sassanian/aks-ha</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
A door opens to the missing in the darkness; &lt;br /&gt;
a past vanished without a trace,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
A small bag packed with broken memories, 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reach in her with misty eyes with only the memories and photographs,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Reach back to fill an empty place only vagueness now holds,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Like a broken clock, not random, but driven by fading memories,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Reach back to hold memories and photographs to the light,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Watering them with tears to bring them back to life,

 <title>Chahar Fasl!</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/kouroush-sassanian/chahar-fasl</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
She was the first always to declare Spring:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Fortune Shone bright in her as Summer approached.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Fought for years; with no effort to see any seasons
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
she conquered the palace of Ice, to wit:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We ran into the depths of Earth - six feet no more;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
She prepared a bed of Roses even Attila refused,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Scourge of God here for my bleeding heart,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Spite of her many loves, Men loved her the same;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
pale ray of good fortune on this heart, one beat less,

 <title>Styx</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/kouroush-sassanian/styx</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Naked, obvious truth is the final trait of your reality as you strike down from your ivory tower.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Once, proud was I.&lt;br /&gt;
As strong as a swing of your axe.&lt;br /&gt;
As compassionate as a Magi offering a poisoned pill.&lt;br /&gt;
As understanding as the devil shedding a tear.&lt;br /&gt;
succumbed to the lowest form of humanity.&lt;br /&gt;
Courageous in my world of smoke,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
my faith being deceit.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Like partners, I have intertwined you with me in that river of styx . .

 <title>Return to the Source</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/kouroush-sassanian/return-source</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Inhale, exhale
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Forward, back
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Living, dying:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Arrows, let flown each to each
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Meet midway and slice
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Empty-handed I entered the world
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Barefoot I leave it.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
My coming, my going --
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Two simple happenings
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
That got entangled.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The void in aimless flight --
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Coming, all is clear, no doubt about it.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Going, all is clear, without a doubt.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
What, then, is all?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Thus I return to the source.

 <title>Delivering love, freedom and Peace with the Sword</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/kouroush-sassanian/delivering-love-freedom-and-peace-sword</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Not your first journey
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
As you  return monsters await to reverse pen put to paper
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Rostam has been slain, celebrate they roar
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The vast distance from here to your soul
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
 Echoing the roaring of monsters seeking you&lt;br /&gt;
taught no hope with roars
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
no Trembling Rostam with you o’ soul, hollow
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
set the horizon ablaze with your love,   extinguish your hope with your tongue, roaring monster coming to defend
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
 roaring monsters steal  breath

 <title>72, 99 or 100 Virgins?</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/kouroush-sassanian/72-99-or-100-virgins</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
 I always thought it was 72, now they say 99! Does anyone know how many Virgins awaits a Muslim when he kickes the bucket? Sorry ladies, you get a big fat O!

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Every wonder why Islam/muslims have little regard for life, well, here you are! Ever wonder why so many Persians were slaughtered by the Arab Muslim armies! They were called upon by Mohammad to do so! &lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;
You must fight Islam! Remember what the arabs did to Persia. They gave Persians three options:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
1- Convert to Islam.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
2- Pay worship tax.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
3- Die.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
A religion of honesty:
