The Sunshine On My Face Feels Good






 Grave of my favorite Armenian poet Vahan Derian Yerevan Armenia

 Life is beautiful, I know
With the sun rising 
And glorious sunsets
Ending each day

 Alas, I want to go away.

The sunshine on my face feels good 
The sky is so blue and vast 
I’ll never tire looking at it

 But I want to melt away.

 There are those whom I love so
I can hold them forever in my eyes 
I know I will hurt them most

 Yet I want to slip away 

I love babies and kittens 
The rain and the snow
I love flowers and green rivers
Shiny apples and butterflies 

 I Still want to fade away

 Everything around is painful to see 
 humanity is in misery 
so many die senselessly 
Compassion is lost
Human rights are trampled on
No heroes around 
No divine intervention 
No miracles left 

 I just want to go away.

 Let the sun shine brightly 
Let the moon be immense and near
The oceans can make music 
with crashing waives
 the birds can sing love songs
All day
Children can ride bikes 
Lick their ice cream cones
And shout with glee,

 All the same,
 I just want to...

My Brother My Love

Leave the tears for last for now all I need is solace or silence No need for profundity You can sit by me  In unity  against this grave peril Wa can pretend  We’re having coffee on my porch  Talking about politics  Or cars Let’s forget for a moment  These are vailed goodbyes  Let’s reminisce  About our childhood  That seems so long ago  It may have been  A myth  Remind me that once  We were young and brave  Care free,  generous Let’s not talk about regrets  There may be too many  Don't make waiting  More unpleasant  By forced cheer  Hold my hand So I can feel your love  For all that matters now  Is love.

Courage

  When you are in the depths of despair, And you think you’ve hit bottom, You just keep on plowing deeper. When you don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel, You just keep on walking until you see the shining light. When you think all doors are closed, Even though you knocked on them all Remember, there are doors that will open just for you. When you feel you’re utterly alone, Remember, you’re never alone because God is always with you. Remember you’re a fighter, Remember you’re strong, Remember you’re resilient, Remember you have people to lean on, Remember your faith, Remember, after every storm the sun comes out And we’re blessed with a rainbow.

THERE IS NO GLORY IN MARTYRDOM ANYMORE

Mothers,  don't tell your sons to be soldiers when they grow, Fathers,  don't ask your sons to pick up your gun, To fight your wars, They don't want to inherit your enemies. Stop the cycle End the killing Much blood has been shed by now. Teach your children that we are one Teach them to share this Earth, Be tolerant and compassionate  So they learn to do the same For their fellow human beings, Teach them respect for life. Love them so they can love themselves And others. We don't need more martyrs There is no glory in martyrdom anymore. Armine Amirian Zohrabian March 03, 2013 There is no glory in martyrdom anymore
