Title: Unexplainable
By: JJ Persis



If I could have one wish in this world, I would turn you into yellow gold.
Around my neck you would hang every day, upon my heart you would lay.
I would touch you, see you, and feel you.
I would love you, protect you, and heal you. 

You come and go though as you please; my heart to you is for lease.
You only stay long enough to place a mark, when you leave I sit in the dark.
I wasn’t planning on falling so hard, for someone who can never let down his guard.
The most ecstatic things in this world are unexplainable, and for me your love is unattainable.

If I could have one wish in this world, I would turn you into yellow gold.
Around my neck you would hang every day, upon my heart you would lay.
I would hold you, caress you, and memorize you.
I would adorn you, honor you, and delight you.

The wonders in this world have never been for keeps, they are there for all to take a peak.
That last kiss you gave was just as sweet as the first; no more to come my lips will die from thirst.
You closed the door and my heart broke into two, but I looked away for that’s a memory I cannot undo.

If I could have one wish in this world, I would travel with you a never ending road

Title: Regret By: JJ Persis Who prefers to sleep inan empty bed? Wake up alone everymorning with nightmares in their head? What I want is your soulwrapped around me every night and day. I yearn to feel yourlips kissing my eyes after every prayer. Honestly, I regret everbegging you to stay, asking you to possibly change your way. If only I had let youwalk away, not allowed you to see my soul turn gray. Now I live with a manyregrets, bigger than those of the devil below. My heart regrets evermeeting you, and most of all responding to your hello. The worst thing I cando now is lie to myself. Continue to plead forpeace when I don’t even know how to forgive myself. There is no use intrying to hide what I am feeling. You can see vividly throughmy chest, and witness my hearts’ bleeding. When you walked out mydoor, I hated you for being so strong. I waited for you toturn back, and admit that you were wrong. The wind blew you awaylike a dead leaf in the cold winter air...

I don’t want to bother you with my existence, but I’m so tired of burdening my heart with your absence. If I am to die today, I will leave for you my soul . I want her to tell you all the secrets my heart left untold. I want her to tell you how my heart skipped a beat during your presence. To tell you how my breath would lose its way during your absence. Allow her to follow you places I could never go, into your mind, your thoughts, your future—the unknown. Perhaps you might grow attached to her; you might accept her like winter does the cold. You might even grow fond of her; she might remind you of a woman who once treasured you like gold. Have courage and listen to her speak; watch her eyes cry the tears you begged me to keep. Let her love you as If I were still there, as if I were the sun brightening your darkness with my glare. Make her smile as you did my lips, for this poor soul carried my sorrow like an everlasting eclipse. I was happy with what little bit of you...

Anthem

I went to a meeting for the Coalition of Iranian Entrepreneurs tonight with one of my friends at the Olympic Collections Banquet Hall for the first time this evening. Their guest speaker was Dr. Farid Holakouee, son of well-known Dr. Farhang Holakouee. The topic of discussion for the evening was culture . There was a crowd of thirty or so people in attendance, majority of them over the age of forty-five. Dinner was served, networking took place, and thoughts were shared. I could tell right away that I was amidst a group who shared similar views and opinions regardless of the age difference. I simply came to this conclusion by noticing the pre-revolution Iranian flag pins on the men’s jackets. As we finished dessert and tea, one of the spokesmen for CIE went up to the podium to welcome everyone to the gathering. Another member of CIE headed towards the stereo in the corner of the banquet hall and pressed play. To no surprise, everyone got up from their seats as the so...
