UNDER THE APPLE TREE

By : Mahshid Shakiba 

( March 2001 )

I give

all of the years

and life inheritance

for a short moment

that the shining of your eyes

jump from your eye-lids shell





Although

between me and you

it is a long dark space





O! The superstitiouse star

I am speaking about YOU





The spring will come

And the gardens will blossom





And under the apple tree

Under the apple tree

where your mother gave birth to you ,

One alone hand 

for picking again 

is hanging 

to waiting for YOU .
