Sigh No More

не казвам тоба поради оскъдност, защото се научих да съм доволен в каквото състояние и да се намеря.

I will sigh no more
Not get caught in this war
Surpassed by purity
I can't hear the lion's roar.

Was it a match?
The door, the key, the latch
Was it even fair?
Is there a bruise? a scratch?

I am on the other side
A battle won without pride,
We are all under attack
Bring it out, don't let it hide.

Every single word I say,
With everything I will pay.
Listen and hear while I speak
ЧАКАМ ТЕ.

It has blown like grenade
A clean mess it has made,
Nothing truly like it,
Content I sit next to the parade.

In chains they walk
As onlookers continue to gawk,
The attraction isn't there,
I've fled like south-facing flock.

At the grace I arrive
Only with faith could I survive.
What a flight is has been,
Out of pain, I am alive.

The taste is sweet
Better than a warm summer heat
Fresh cooked baklava,
The perfect long-awaited treat.

I will sigh no more
Here is the mercy to pour,
Surpassed by purity
I can't hear the lion's roar.

New Years 2011

What great friends I have.
What great memories we made.
A new year has come,
and the past will fade.

Food cooking and roasting
So many Persians in one room.
Jenga on the table,
waiting for the falling kaboom.

Mixed and mashed is the food.
Sitting at the table waiting to eat.
The fragrance is so good,
oh wait it is Persian cooked meat.

Sunny day not a cloud in the sky
Off to the market for some candy
Then a hike to the monastery,
followed by a dog we named "Sandy"

5 star class is what we like,
6 leva hot choclate is worth the price.
Free snacks are great
But they sure ain't Banitza with rice!
The bombs burst above us,
like flowers blooming and glowing.
The feet danced in a circle,
never stopping always flowing.
Typical New Years Day travel,
Unknown and foreign to us.
Should we take a taxi or train,
or maybe wait for the bus?
Attack, Attack, here come the bears,
not for blood but for money.
I am poor I need to run.
Get them away from me 'honey'!!

Front row seats to the show.
Not too close to be offended,
But it was the perfect spot,
for the pagan ritual we attended.

The night was one to remember,
skating, sliding, and staying warm.
We had the style we had the moves,
we had unforgettable form.



What a great new year we had.
Frozen fingers and smiling faces,
will remind us of friendship,
even though we aren't in the same places.
