Sand Words

Sand like your eyes
time-glass hour piece
contrasts, inverted
lives and deaths

If you could bite your tongue
and tell me your thoughts
telepathy doesn't equate sympathy
but it offers an antidote to lost time

Precious is what Precious does
good baptisms may fade to dust
heart is kind but cruel has branches
seeds need love
seeds must survive

Hope has written with swords and goblets
ink-rain on paper earth
lives are written
lives betray
death needs his own deathbed

even if eternity
spots a fine line
a rupture to mortality

even if sands are but broken glass
we might mend artifacts

lost time can wage
lost time can make
all delusional
all real

efface not
efface not
want merely
desire merely

don't let that be bound
you flesh symmetry

There is a distinctive style - a style I shall name Zarinesh - in most of your poetry. I have been noticing it for quite some time but today the exact words and metaphors appeared in me. In these beautiful poems, there isn't just one thought or one guiding motive. Each of these poems erupt from many seeds and are guided by many spirits. The flow of thoughts is not-very-often maintained from one line to another or from one stanza to another. There are always those charming new thoughts zooming in like photons of light from all directions and intruding into what a poem initially begins with. Perhaps, it clearly reflects the state of the poetess herself who, so prolific, finds herself amidst the turmoil of thoughts. Perhaps, the Zarinesh style shall mark the rise of tomorrow's poetry as more people are able to identify with this style, in fact, this state of being and as poems violently fluctuate between formity and deformity like a mathematical function whose argument while reaching zero makes the function itself vibrate from one end of infinity to another, that is if there is any end of infinity.
