قبلة الشمس التي زرعتها الحياة في قلبي احترقت
عندما لامس جبينك جبيني،
عندما تعانقت أنفاسنا وسط حقول شفاهنا المتشابكة،
واذ بي عمود من لهب ملتف كالأفعى حول بحر شبقك،
عاصراً رحيق أنوثتك نجوماً منثورة فوق ألسنة الأرض العطشى،
ذائباً في جسدك كجمر أحمر لأنمو،
أشجار فاكهتها نجومٌ بشرتها حمراء
وقلبها أتون بالشعر يزبد.
A cloud in my sky ~
is this not being a tree
with roots tangled
around my spine,
piercing into my heart
and suckling at its sap?
~
يتيمة ولدت قصيدتي كسنبلة قمح تحت قمر الخريف،
ومع انتصاف الليل، مع حصادالروح ماتت
لتولد مع الفجر، سهل يتموج مع أنفاس الحبيب
~
Your kiss,
ushering a reign of fire,
burned my house and clothes
and left me homeless,
a star melted
inside the lava ocean
of your heart.
~
I summon your water
into the bowl of my desire,
then dip my pen
to tickle your skin
into a seething ecstasy,
each curve a lightning
searing into your skin
the sighs of my poetry.
~
You spell my name
and I come into existence,
then you erase it
and I disappear
deep in the heart of you.
~
At midnight
the thorn you planted in my heart
bloomed into a beautiful rose,
a red moon which fragrance rose
to brush the stars in your dark hair,
scatter them like dreams
over the sleeping earth.
~
Spring inhabited her body
for the moment she touched me
all the hidden seeds
within me stirred and sighed
beholding in her dark eyes
dawn’s bluest sky.
~
Forged in the furnace of your love,
I am a star forever fluttering
amid the flowers of the sky
and spreading ecstasy,
gathering their nectar
in the womb of your sun.
~
With a flamed tongue
and a ravaged heart
I drink and suckle
at the flowers of your flesh,
the milk of your body.
Your silence lured me in
then you burst into song ~
your mouth exhaling winged flames,
myriads encircling me,
their fiery wings brushing my skin
and circling ever closer, tighter,
their hunger kissing my body
with ever more ferocity
reaping my surrender
into your burning sun.
Like a fish in the water,
like a bird in the air,
like a star in the nightsky ~
you move under my skin.
~
Dreams?
What remains of them
but the glow of your love…
~
Rising out of my chest
my longing for you
spreads through the ether,
invisible strings
shivering at the wind’s touch,
bathing the world
in the music of your love.
~
Infiltrating my heart
like the softest dawn,
your kiss breathed
new life into my heart,
raising my burning soul
to the altar of your love.
~
Take me on your wing
and plant me in the garden
where ground is blooming skies.
~
Free falling,
a universe warped around our love,
rotating to the pulse
of two hearts in unison, beating.
~
Your every stroke and caress
marks a riverbed into my skin
that your kisses then fill
with roaring floods of water.
My carnal heat I weave
into crimson ribbons
tangling your body
to the altar of my lust.
~
At night, in your bed,
draw me over you
like a nightsky full of stars,
every star a kiss
melting into your skin
exhaling infinite sighs.
~
From your fallow dawn
a whisper of wildflowers strokes through my hair,
caresses my face,
filling me with the scent of your pure grace.
~
I whisper your name
in the middle of the night
and the sea suddenly churns and moans,
a surging titan with lightning hands clasping me
and carrying me all the way to the realm of stars.
~
The evening star moans
ushering the end of day
and you, night itself
rubbing softly through my skin,
invading me, whole.
~
Converging at your womb,
my kisses and strokes
sharpening your sighs,
burst you into a river
coursing amid stars.
~
Love’s simple unfoldings.
An exchanged breath,
fingers touching,
eyes meeting
and kissing in midair ~
all, engraved in the heart,
his secret memory.
~
And every cell of your body
is a honeycomb
that I slide open with my tongue
and suckle, suckle.
~
Let my breath fall
round your neck like a shawl,
a desert breeze laden
with the scorching heat of want.
~
Working from your heart out
I unfold you, one petal at a time,
pruning your wings and colouring your eyes
I paint you, with all my heart, mine.
~
Lust, never so innocent,
Love, never so blind,
Passion, never so pure,
All, in a morning coffee sun…
~
Our kiss,
a breath charged
with the scents
of a thousand springs
bursting deep inside our chests,
petals of fire,
streams of light…
~
Freydoon Rassouli, Serenity of the Sun
Love,
let me cradle you
as the sun cradles the earth,
heart, an infinite fountain
of joy and warmth.
~
Subdued by a tender whisper,
a firefly fluttering
on the wings of night
and melting in your lips,
breathlessness and bliss
in the palm of my hand.
~
The thought of you ~
an ocean billowing amid my ribs,
a dawn gently enveloping my being,
her white arms spread around my body…
~
…that my entire life
could be a worship
in the cult of you…
~
Kissing each eye
I plant the moon and the sun,
then breathe through your lips
an infinity of stars,
shivering you in my arms.
My universe, you are…
~
Kissing, our tears join
on our merged cheek
and fall, one tear,
a full moon splashing in the nightsky,
rippling the stars in endless waves.
~
Folded in love’s wings
we step outside the world’s rhythm;
our garden, a simple love house
wrought with heated breaths
and growing at the edge of time.
~
…whenever I daydream
I catch myself
burning on your lips…
~
My poems ~
autumn leaves burning in your hair,
jasmine dewdrops melting into your skin,
gray mist of creation rising from your mouth.
As you sleep
my heart slides over you,
a full moon breathing warmth into your dreams,
bathing your skin in the purity of my love.
~
I strew my words to the four winds,
cast them in rivers and bid them farewell.
Ever since I grew in earth’s flesh,
pulsed in her blood,
swayed with her breath.
~
…and when my wings enfold you,
you glow like a sun…
~
Your breath,
a cloud weeping in my veins,
fiery drops surging endless tides,
lightning bolts searing your name
into every cell and thought.
~
Summoning my heart to my lips
I press it against your belly,
exhaling a deep kiss
I knead it into your womb,
birth you, a full moon.
~
Raging inside of you,
I am a storm of lust and passion
scattering your burning heart
like seeds across the stars.
~
My heart’s throne is set for you ~
a thundering Goddess
whose thirst commands
the world’s oceans
and heaven’s endless stars.
~
Imagine, love:
my heart,
a house of unspent passion
rolling like an unbound ocean
through the walls of your womb.
~
Melted into my breath,
as my lips move
your curves burn and sway,
moulded, deep inside.
My touch
bursts sighs hidden under your skin.
Melting from your pores,
they begg for my kiss.
~
Your love burned through my thoughts
dissipating them like mist in the morn
and bathing my face warm and true
in the clarity of your sun.
~
Beyond union billows the ocean of unity
where, flowing between two bodies,
the single soul awakened
a being older that time’s memory.
~
Stretching under me
you are a desert of endless dunes.
At the dawn of each day
I shape you anew.
~
O love, as long as your heart beats in mine
even with a spoonful of your darkness
I could light the whole sky.
~
At the dawn of life I saw you in a dream,
shaping my body’s hills and fields into existence.
Then I woke.
The dream, a memory.
Pulsing with my breath,
my every heartbeat,
a dreamory…
~
I bound my desire to the seat of your heart,
ever since it multiplied into infinite stars.
~
And if the sun were a loaf of bread
we’d break it on our altar,
dip it in the moon’s wine-stream,
scatter it over our bodies,
and feast.
~
I pass my fingers over your eyebrows
searing into them the soft hues of dusk.
With my tears wet your lips and cheeks,
dawn’s pure dewdrops, love.
~
Your ocean calls,
I become a river
churning through the cosmos
and gathering all stars
before quenching my thirst
like a lightning of fire
in the waters of your lust.
~
To plant my sighs
like jasmines in your hair,
at the dawn of each day
tend to the flowers
blooming in your eyes.
~
Joined on sun’s altar,
the lovers’ swirling dance
melts skin into skin and ends,
exuberance of a million stars,
solar adhesion, eternal lust.
~
These clouds of longing
drifting through my sky,
their crimson shades,
a blazing night
awaiting your touch,
eager for your kiss,
to turn volcanic,
tear the earth to bits.
The musk of my heart, I burn,
weaving its incense
into the sweetest prayers,
drifting like tears,
calling to your absence.
~
As we kiss,
the stars of night,
swirling in your hair,
turn dizzy and fall,
clusters at a time,
onto earth’s dreaming face.
~
As you sleep
I contemplate you,
my eyes intoning a melting prayer
enveloping your body with a wetness so deep,
soaking you in love
all the way to your heartbeats.
~
Dawn on my lips,
a prayer swaying skywards,
bathing in your light.
~
Uncovering your original face ~
flowers breathing your fragrance, melt,
the sun, caught in your light,
turns moon and sings your praise.
~
I sway over you,
a moon over the sea,
and your waters froth and churn,
drawn into my being,
core rippling with ecstasy.
~
Surrendering to night’s kiss,
a breath of stars slithers through our ribs
into our deepest being,
unlocking the well of dawn.
~
Speechless,
night’s electric tide welding skin to skin,
ebbing as dawn’s fresh breeze
awakens a new heart.
~
With each loss my heart tore a little,
until my “I” drowned in the ocean of your love.
~
I dip my finger in the sun
then pass it over your lips,
rub the fire in, slowly,
before letting my lips feast
on the fountain of your lust.
~
Your love’s eagle swept me off my feet
and flew me to its nest,
perched on a branch
somewhere inside your sun.
~
When your face comes close to mine
I feel it burning like a sun,
and a tremor pulses through my chest
as I ache for our cheeks to melt as one.
~
O Beloved,
spare me your mercy.
This heart you hold
in your rough hands
like a cluster of red grapes
must be smashed into wine.
~
To place my lips against yours
is to gather all the universe’s stars
inside one burning sun.
The kiss…
~
Moaning at the scent of her warm flesh,
The sea, waves tossing and turning,
Churning with a longing so old
To engulf a daughter once lost amid men.
Your love is a black stallion
and I am the nightsky,
the meadow where it runs
as it scatters my stars like dust.
~
Like a wind breezing from the unknown
the beloved rises,
and all flowers in forest and field
sway to his touch,
ecstatically breathing.
~
In her eyes he always smelled
a vague scent of light,
somehow flooding through his eyes
and into his soul,
filling him with her essence.
~
Oceanic shiver,
your breath stroking my aching skin,
your eyes pouring light
into the riverbeds of my soul.
~
Her blessed hand of stars
she places upon my brow
as dreams churn inside of me
in fevered waves,
bursting through my ribs
and flowing into her body,
the sweetest tide.
~
Her kiss set my heart aflame
as then her hands
reaching into my chest
took it out to scatter it over night’s face,
a million million stars.
~
Endless was the night of longing.
Her kiss, soft and melting,
dispelled all shadows,
calling forth the dawn.
Let me soak the moon into your tender belly
And slowly, slowly, knead it into your aching womb,
Raising it upwards to birth it from your lips,
A great moan fluttering full and white
And filling night’s soul with the waters of our bliss.
~
When I think of you
a star rises from my heart to my mouth
and then flutters out through the world
like a white butterfly
looking for the flower of your mouth
to plunge inside, and tell you.
…and I am always thinking of you.
~
Love consumes time to an extent
you lose all awareness of it.
Night, day; second, hour –
all become the same,
floating, blissful, in clarity…
~
What am I?
A shaft of wheat swaying in the moonlight.
A bird setting his wings into the sunset sky.
A dewdrop, now here, now vanishing inside the rose.
~
There is a love we pay for with our entire life,
keeping nothing, giving everything away.
Seek that love.
Burn and drown in it.
Let it possess you to your deepest soul.
As you sleep, I exhale the desire of my being into the womb of night, shivering all stars into one mighty ocean moving to the rhythm of my poet-fingers and breath and raining through your window, embers, infinite droplets of light enmeshed around you like a burning cloud now weeping softly, each drop melting into your skin, sending soft pleasure in waves through your body, down to your womb, stirring you tenderly into an ecstatic dream moaning gently upon your full lips, arching your back and oozing white musk from your flower’s depth, as then my stars-shaped-hands seep from the cloud and merge into yours guiding them slowly to your flower and well, fiery fingers circling and turning like a sun treading through the heavens, fountains of fire cascading from the cloud in waterfalls of light and finding your flower’s eager mouth and the swollen pearl rising over her like a crown, fingers and hot water kneading, rubbing, and pressing raising you slowly and tenderly to heaven’s peak where your body bursts into infinite stars and free falls white and wet back into the arms of a deep, tender sleep, quenched on the lust of my endless love.
For offering –
your pearl of desire
swollen and pulsing,
a sun crowning
your well of secrets
and exuding in my mouth
the light of your being,
the fire of your soul.
~
Our love,
an open house of being,
of shared thoughts, whispers, and heartbeats
where our lifelines swirl and tangle,
our fingers and breaths entwining
deep in the earth,
high in the sky…
~
Night is here.
My heart, a fountain bubbling
and rising to my lips
wanting to be planted between your eyes,
to wash over your face.
~
Come to me,
let me untangle your darkest desires
upon my loving altar,
bind your flight and wings
to my horizon and sky,
setting your soul free.
~
Your lust and mine
entangling like serpents
ceremoniously weaved by love’s hand
into a single, feverish flame
uniting earth and sky.
~
Give me your moistness
and let me weave you poems
blossoming in full petals of wine
melting as I place them in your mouth
and dripping back as your crimson lips
are laid wrapped around my flame,
kneading it with hunger and burning lust.
~
I want a love so great
it melts my flesh from its bones
and sends me rushing
like a ball of fire
into the flaming pits of hell…
… I want you
~
Rapture ~
my eyes and yours
fixed into each other
amidst our tender and violent collisions…
Thirst, vast and great
stirs in my chest
in the hour before dawn
as I move over you,
a wave of tender greed,
mouth suckling eager
at your founts
of honey and milk,
fire churning down my throat
and permeating my body as,
half-awake, the flame in me stirs
and thrusts into your womb
slow, rhythmic, and deep,
flesh shivering and melting
into warm sacred tears scattered
in the ponds of our merged faces
between wakefulness and sleep,
two bodies bound infinite
inside a succulent love-dream,
shaking as the honeyed milk I suckled
flows back into you,
hot lava, seed scattered deep,
mystical union, delirious fever,
love, a magical oneness
breaking the palm of dawn,
a tender, white flower.
Dawn,
My body a churning ocean
Aching to unite and flow into you,
Loosen all stars from their orbits
Making them pour over our tangled lust like dew,
Wetting and soaking into our heat,
Frothing over our united shore,
Welding us, inseparable, as into each other we explode
Giving the sun out to the world
And falling into each other’s arms,
Drunk on this musk,
Blissful in this home…
Breaking our fast at dawn,
mouths exchanging coffeed breaths
and silver smoke in deep kisses,
lips bruised on lovemaking’s desire
and the insatiable lust of morn…
Rooted in Love
