I said I long for thee

You said your sorrows will end.

Be my moon, rise up for me

Only if it will ascend.

I said, from lovers learn

How with compassion burn

Beauties, you said in return

Such common tricks transcend.

Your visions, I will oppose

My mind's paths, I will close

You said, this night-farer knows

Another way will descend.

With the fragrance of your hair

I'm lost in my world's affair

You said, if you care, you dare

On its guidance can depend.

I said hail to that fresh air

That the morning breeze may share

Cool is that breeze, you declare

With beloved's air may blend.

I said, your sweet and red wine

Granted no wishes of mine

You said, in service define

Your life, and your time spend.

I said, when will your kind heart

Thoughts of friendship start?

Said, speak not of this art

Until it's time for that trend.

I said, happiness and joy

Passing time will destroy.

Said, Hafez, silence employ

Sorrows too will end my friend.

I like this part of the poem the best. The whole poem reminds me of Vladimir Nabokov's masterpiece "Lolita." I love this book, and for some reason it sounded almost like its doomed hero Humbert Humbert talking about his (tragic) life story, and particularly here:

"You said, 'If you care, you dare.'"

The latter part of which seemed to be something Lolita (Humbert's....muse? obsession?) would say, and something Humbert would liken to her.

Is it Roham? thanks for sharing the poem but I can't say it's my cup of tea... It seems very gentle, very soft, yet it may be an iron fist in a velvet glove---it's confusing to me, see. I'm sorry. I read carefully. Perhaps another time, with another poem. Good luck with this one...

I like the last line which is most appropriate related to time.That true harvest is one which employs silence to end sorrows.
