Reihaneh Jalalian Poems

A droplet of rain
On the shoulder of the wind
Is lost in a big desert
A droplet with no wishes
...

I was praying, I was crying when I was praying

I closed my eyes
I didn’t let my tears fall
...

Freedom means breathing deeply
Thinking loudly
Shouting noiselessly
Crying quietly
...

A red rose for you to forget your wishes
to wish your dreams
A red heart for you to have another chance
to have another one
...

Deep in the night
Everywhere at home is dark
No lights
No candles
...

You went
You left me alone
I asked you to turn back
You waved
...

Miles away
In a massive jungle
Where the moon goes to sleep everyday
Above the tallest tree
...

</>Again the ring and the steps and the class
Again I hear, again I feel, and again I see
Again the books and the door and the teachers
Again the ring and the chair and the students
...

I like night
Yes, I know it's dark
Darkness is full of hope
But fear is in light
...

If only I had wings I could fly
High in the sky above the earth
To find you with your broken wings
With your broken heart
...
