Will You?A Poem by Maryam MottahedehWill You? Feeling so sensitive and raw Am I worth it I still wonder
The pink petals of the rose Burning in the light of day turned red The fragrance at the core seeping out So much to behold Not sure if it’s possible Still growing Unsure of how to open without tears So much longing for surrender
There will be no plucking That is my dream Only visitors And who will take ground In the fertile soil at my bed Roots wet Past calling Tears falling And you who I long for Continents away Unsure of the train If you are in it a passenger Of your arrival I wait while others may come and go There are things for which we wait And I know the winter will pass I know your fragrance Will pass through my aura in person again I am silly enough to fantasize about imbedding it Deep in my nostrils perhaps Deep into the places where I can access The soothing breeze my petals long for It seems insane after only two nights And day in and day out I want to hear the strings of the sitar I want to feel my heart That has been only asleep And in this defrosting Is dripping tears Tears Sadness Unknown Origin Unknown It is you who I’m recalling I want something more I want to know more This deep desire in me That you want to feel me As deep As thorough As light and gentle As your hands did with mine As the dance of our finger tips through None verbal exchanges We had Blow my mind out Let me find an open field Where there be No fragment of you and I
It seems its God I’m searching for Perhaps with you Another glimpse © 2012 Maryam Mottahedeh |
