Dreadful Night

In that dreadful, fateful night

I wish I could hold you tight

I wish sun would never shine

I wish you could remain mine

I wish I could join you there

I told God it was not fair…

 پدر

پدر عطر چای و پدر طعم نان

پدر با صفا و همیشه جوان

 

خلیلت نهادند نام نکو

 

که بودی رفیقی به حق مهربان

 

پدر شور لبخند شیرین و عشق

 

پدر نور امید و آرام جان

 

پدر آشنای غریبان راه

 

پدر پوریای ولی‌ زمان

 

شبیخون ناگاه گردون دون

 

ببرد از برت شور و حال و توان

 

دو تا کرد آن قامت مهر را

 

نشاندم به خاک و ستردم نشان

 

پدر باورم نیست تنها شدن

 

پناهم بمان تأ ابد جاودان

 

 
مهرزاد

 

(Started the poem while Pedar was in hospital strange but I wanted to keep it hopeful, I was not able to conclude it. I concluded the poem while crying my way into the doctor's office after his passing on July 13th of 2007)

Pedar...
 
Pedar was not ours to keep
Pedar was not ours to hold
He did not show his age
He was not that old
He was ready to fly
His wings could not fold
God came to his help
Truth should be told
His heart was the warmest
His body turned cold
I could not let go
I only scold
Cannot keep going
I lost my ray of gold
