"Life goes on" By: Beccy Cole

Saw a friend the other day,
I hadn't seen in quite a while
I remember when she used to smile
I listened to her story....
broken promised and shattered dreams
Told me things ain't always what they seem
When I gave her my sympathy
she said living with regret is something
that comes naturally

Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches
Sometimes you go against the grain
Sometimes your hard work pays off
Sometimes it's all in vain
But no matter what you endure, rest assured
Life goes on......Life Goes On

As she turned to walk away, said girl I'm going to be all right
Life is just a fair and honest fight
I learned a brand new lesson
If you look beyond the clouds of grey,
the pot of gold is one rainbow away
It's just a matter...of moving on
Don't get caught up in the endless battle proving right from wrong

Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches
Sometimes you go against the grain
Sometimes your hard work pays off
Sometimes it's all in vain
But no matter what you endure.....rest assured
Life Goes On......
Life goes on
Every smile is
And the sound of laughter echoes like a symphony

از مجموعه ی "ابراهیم در آتش" سروده ی زنده یاد شاملو

"بر سرمایِ درون"

همه
لرزشِ دست و دل اَم
از آن بود
که عشق

، پناهی گردد
پروازی نه
.گریزگاهی گردد

آی عشق آی عشق

.چهره یِ آبی اَت پیدا نیست

--

و خنکایِ مرهمی
بر شعله یِ زخمی
نه شورِ شعله
.بر سرمایِ درون

آی عشق آی عشق
.چهره یِ سرخ اَت پیدا نیست

--

و غبارِ تیره یِ تسکینی
بر حضورِ وَهن
و دنجِ رهایی
،بر گریزِ حضور
سیاهی
بر آرامشِ آبی
و سبزه یِ برگچه
.بر ارغوان

آی عشق آی عشق
رنگِ آشنای اَت
. پیدا نیست

Soulmate...

I Carve Your Mouth, Your Voice ..

DON'T GO FAR OFF, NOT EVEN FOR A DAY
Don't go far off, not even for a day, because ---
because I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.
.
Don't leave me, even for an hour; because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams for a home will drift
into me choking my lost heart.
.
Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelid never flutter into the empty distance.
Don't leave me for a second, my dearest,
because in that moment you'll have gone so far
I'll wonder mazily over all the earth, asking
Will you come back? Will you leave me here dying?

By: Poblo Neruda

"If You Forget Me"

I want you to know

one thing.

.

You know how this is:

if I look

at the crystal moon, at the red branch

of the slow autumn at my window,

if I touch near the fire

the impalpable ash

or the wrinkled body of the log,

everything carries me to you,

as if everything that exists,

aromas, light, metals,

were little boats

that sail toward those isles

of yours that wait for me.

.

Well, now,

if little by little you stop loving me

I shall stop loving you little by little.

.

If suddenly

you forget me

do not look for me,

for I shall already have forgotten you.

.

If you think it long and mad,

the wind of banners

that passes through my life,

and you decide

to leave me at the shore

of the heart where I have roots,

remember

that on that day,

at that hour,

I shall lift my arms

and my roots will set off

to seek another land.

.

But if each day,

each hour,

you feel that you are destined for me

with implacable sweetness,

if each day a flower

climbs up to your lips to seek me,

ah my love, ah my own,

in me all that fire is repeated,

in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,

my love feeds on your love, beloved,

and as long as you live it will be in your arms

without leaving mine.
