Beyond Judgement Day by Nosratollah Massoudi

Beyond Judgement Day
By Nosratollah Massoudi

Translated From Persian by Mahnaz Badihian

When dawn comes and
Violets Pour
I remember the days 
That the Sunny moments
Would Swirl around you

Easily I forget
More than twenty years ago
The dark rains knocked
On my hat and scarf
That stood behind
The windows of bombardment

I forgot
Why I never got my hat and scarf
And with your lips
We never visited 
The loneliness of a pomegranate,
Only a hedge away from heaven.

Now next to my hat and scarf 
I resemble a figure of clay.

Let the dark rains 
Keep pouring
Beyond Judgement Day
No more is there news 
Of a violet, a lip and a pomegranate
