LONELY STAR

By: Mohammad Badri

The heat of April
Dragged me to the near-by beach.
As I observed the waves
converging from far away oceans,
In presence of the full moon,
A lonely star was awarding my whistle-
urging me to glow.

My response was:
OH! my dear lonely star
You resemble me in loneliness.
Since I discovered about my hopeless love
Happiness rushed away from my life,
so did the smile from my face.

My eyes ran out of tears,
in regret for my broken heart.
I wish you. my lonely star, deliver my message
to her, as you reach her continent,
before the sun rises...
