The Bard's Breath: Forbidden

By Joe Katzman on May 9, 2003 11:38 AM

I really appreciate the people who leave Comments here at Winds of Change.NET. Not only do I find new thoughts that way, I find new blogs too. Dave of "Smile at Me" has been a steady contributor here for a while, and the stuff he publishes on his own site is pretty fine too. Shahyar Ghanbari is an Iranian poet... and today's poetic excerpt is dedicated to imprisoned Iranian blogger and journalist Sina Motallebi.

Forbidden
by Shahyar Ghanbari

Blue of the sea is forbidden
The desire to see, is forbidden
The love between two fish is forbidden
Alone & together is forbidden

To have a new love, you should not ask permission
To have a new love, you should not ask permission

Whispering & murmuring is forbidden
Dancing of the shadows is forbidden
Discovering the stolen kisses,
In the middle of your dream is forbidden

To have a new dream, you should not ask permission
To have a new dream, you should not ask permission...

Dave has fixed his blogger archives now - you know you want to read the whole thing.
