Love's Eternal Symphony by Dr. Sajid Hussain (Editor's Best Pick by Tamikio L. Dooley)

 

Love’s Eternal Symphony 

 

In tenebrous nights love murmurs in precise,  

Glory voices at bough that sways through tranquil air,  

Life's roots delve deep in heart’s terrain to splice,  

While verdant leaves of fondness sweetly bear,  

Affection spans its arms to clasp palms,

O’er vast divides of yearning at soaking,  

In shared instants its tales are held in grasp,  

Breaths ember kindle of flames in   paths of incline ,

For new phase to burst in hues the firmament adorns,

Its mirth to revolve a waltz that shuns despair,  

A flicker will not bid adieu on unsteady turns,

Through tempest’s veil its glow persists with care,

An existence crafts a haven where souls dwell,  

On life’s broad folios to script doth compel.

Samples of His Hair by Mitwalli Onion

 

Samples of His Hair

 

• Land of hypocrisy

 

You who planted you with our hands, 

If we knew the unseen, we would cut off our hands. 

The dog does not deny a favor to man, 

And treachery in people has become a religion for them, 

Those faces that look like angels, 

In Elvis masks hide demons, 

He does not claim good except those who are crooked, 

As for the pure one, he seems poor in him, 

All entities look like bushes to me. 

And the people in it are hyenas or snakes,

The land of hypocrisy, I saw cheating ruled by,

With lies you feed us with betrayal you water us, 

From the lips of sadness sometimes he will excuse me,

I wish sadness would cure us

What does patience and fortitude do in a time?

If he kills us who used to give us life,

What about our brothers after our companionship,

When we collapsed, the teeth of the knives,

They were blinded by money, world, so they sold us,

They didn't preserve our friendliness, but they overdid it in us,

Those hearts that were our homeland,

What did we do to her so that she antagonizes us?

We build, and we destroy, we seek, and we burn,

Until we got tired and despair became sharp,

Those who were yesterday remained behind our motorcade,

Today for glory and glory seeking,

And we commemorate here the enmities,

We only gained from it the distortion of our past,

Who buys us if the loved ones sold us?

Who will protect us if they overdid u?

Fishes by Hamid Nazarkhah

 

Fishes

Fishes, 

Fantastic autumn nights, 

Under the electvic posts of the city, 

In the thick fog of the evening ,

Celebrate. 

Street pavements, 

They breathe the footsteps of passers-by, 

The longest night of the year, 

With red seeds of words, 

They decorate, 

But I share the my dream of watermelon dream among the poor people, 

To have a happy Yalda.

Stained with Flower Colors by Si Rim Kim

 

Stained with Flower Colors

 

As the brisk wind blows,

I long for you even more.

 

The foxtails,

Densely covering the hill,

All rush toward the western sky.

 

The sunset blankets the ridgein the fading hues of fire,

And every window in every home

Is stained with flower colors,

 

With no promise made,

I leave the gate wide open

And step out to greet you—

You,

Whom I can neither see nor touch.

 

꽃물 들다

 

샛바람 부니

  당신이 더욱 보고 싶다

 

 언덕을 빼곡히 덮은

  강아지풀들 일제히

  서녘 하늘 향해 달리고

 

  석양 마루 잉걸불로 타는

  노을, 집집 창문마다

  꽃물이 든다

 

  약속도 없이

  대문 활짝 열어두고

  볼 수도 만질 수도 없는

  당신

  마중 나간다.
