Though Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Though

Do you too, randomly,
-remember our shared times?
- (the fun that we did have,
-both in and out of bed.)

I write this, not for you
-not for me; just for kids
-or their kids, kids of kids.

I know once, somebody
-will know our story
-you and me…

Right now, I, do not know
-how you feel…if you live!

Whatever
Wherever

I write this and
-throw it
-as bottles, which are sealed
-thrown in oceans, seas.

Someone may, in ages
-see, catch it from waves
-or let is roam in roars.

Or maybe, possibly
-it turns out to become
-one of the billions
-dead-corpses
-that evolve to be seed
-to grow as an herb or tree
-and be fed by new you or me…

Now back to memories
-don't worry, you know me
-I was not and won't be
-a man to hate someone…
-you too, are part of this.

When I make a detour
-leaping deep into time,
-I recall your "Salam."

You saw me, said: "Hello"
-I was shocked and blushed.

To me the sister of classmate
-was sister
-not other, one more girl!

But you were a devil
-with plans, intentions
-saw me and, as confessed
-got wet in underwear.

What I loved of you was
-your true simple-ness
-the same that cut us off
-became sharp dagger, knife
-slammed in heart and mind.

"Daddy took me to bank…"
-you told me, explained:
- "Boss tapped me on shoulder,
-I felt bad and shambled,
-so never went again…"

So pure, innocent…
-I loved such behaviour;
-unaware, it acted as bullet
-killed me and the life of children! ! !

Too simple, you copied
-whatever came as deed
-of teachers and neighbors
-to devils' and angels'…

My fault is what happened
-should have kept you in rein.
-Why did I not use leash?
-You barked with no muzzle!
