Kamand Kojouri Poems

I haven't written you a poem in years it seems.
How can it be my fault
when the words to describe you have not yet been created?
When the alphabet lacks the very letters?
...

Missing you,
I missed a part of me
I shared with you
that's now gone.
...

Even when I write about this swan
and that orchid,
I write about you.
Every word
...

They took my books
because my message was love.
They took my pen
because my words were love.
...

Happiness, do not leave me.
I know you, a capricious monarch
perching on the fortunate flowers you see.
Hear me:
...

What is this love
that makes me see beauty,
and makes every beautiful thing
bring you back to me?
...

Everything I have become,
everything I will ever accomplish
cannot compare to my most
impressive feat:
...

I don't know why everyone
is still trying to find out
whether heaven and hell exist.
Why do we need more evidence?
...

I was mistaken
when I said you
live in my heart.
How absurd I was
...

This is an ode to life.
The anthem of the world.
For as there are billions
of different stars that

"How is it
that everything must
begin and end with you?
There you are,

I write our names on the page.
What of it, if the paper will be burned?
I write our names in the sand.
What of it, if the shore will be washed by waves?
...

It offends me when you doubt my love.

Do you see

If you ask all the cells
in my body,
they only answer your name.
Follicles push the hair upwards

Come back to me.
Where have you gone?
And why so long?
I miss the star below your lip,

Come, lovers.
Come join us.

The Best Poem Of Kamand Kojouri

I Haven't Written You A Poem In Years

I haven't written you a poem in years it seems.
How can it be my fault
when the words to describe you have not yet been created?
When the alphabet lacks the very letters?
How can it be my fault
when your loveliness only grows
by the time I reach for pen and paper?
Tell me how I am at fault
when I am only a beginner in poems
and you are exquisite poetry?
To write you in words
is to put a veil upon you.
Why must I write
when I can kiss you instead?

What I like most about us is the innocence. You bring the child out of me. And this is really the greatest gift of all: to have someone encourage and take delight in your childish manifestations.
