Dr. Erfan K

It is in the land
of destruction
I am assigned
to build a new palace
...

After long years of close relation
Shall I ask you;
Who am I for You?
I remember your statement
...

Here I have no friends
"That window was once bombed"
Pointing to my residence home
Those youngsters told me once
...

The sight was superb
Three more cliffs
Curvey paths throughout
Fountain underneath
...

I can't love you
I tell you it in the beginning
Because I don't want to cheat you
I have one beloved for whom I have lent my soul
...

Life is like rolling and unrolling a mat
It's by birth I started
Unrolling the mat of my life
Now I am in my middle ages
...

A dream I have now
The same dream of me yesterday
And the same dream I had kept for many years
...

They either otherise you
Or authorise you
They make you subjects
As they are authors
...

He threw a word at my bosom
It stuck there
Blood gushed out
Spilled on the floor
...

You are like a fire
An innocent flame
Differing as the gas poured
Once you were
...

Do you remember
Sharp arrows you aimed at me.
My flesh had torn then
Sharing my flesh among you,
...

Do you know how I balance between you
Both of you are very dear to me
If you unsettle her, I stand with her
And if she subjugates you I am with you
...

When we fell
We were together
Everyone guessed our end
But in the air
...

Long way in our life
I assumed myself a rational man
In contrast to my notion of her
As an emotional being
...

His body was buried
I tied up my future life in his grave
Connected thus
My life gets its changes
...

As you may guess
We don't argue, scold, abuse and fight
But we do that all
In the clutch of silence
...

Don't think that I have left
And think it is comfortably your own
No... It's mine
I was there only for months
...

They think that I am intolerable
'Provoked for the slightest'
How couldn't I be provoked?
If we don't have enough food at my dining table?
...

Pleasure of being together
Idle food
Smell of curries
Sound of plates
...

Once my friends asked me;
"Have you ever loved? "
"Do you have a lover? "
"Be frank"
...
