On The First Of July Poem by Soran M. H

On The First of July(1)



For the first time
Mona Lisa has cried-
For an alone brush:
It is day of birth and death
is lost in the Fog
as a withered leaf fallen
into the heart of this vast universe
without having any attention
To its downfall.
*
On the First of July
Lenore(2) with a white hair
lighting another Candle
at the tomb of life
without waiting
for the coming of any beloved
*

Those stars that you had seen
At the nights of childhood
Pass quickly in the sky.
Where will take their sorrow?
While
old Gogol (3)
coming down from the Alps
wearing his winter fur coat
Soon, dazzling his eyes
With the Lanterns light of the streets
*
After forty-four seconds
coincidentally meeting a nun
Inside a train for Rome
dressed in a black
gives you a key
On the First of July

* In some countries for all people who unknown their exact date of birth; the Registration office as a rule putting the first of January for all who born before 30th Jun, and for the rest who guessed born after 30th June they put the first of July.

** The Raven, Poem by Edgar Allen Poe:
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow.
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore.
