My Ethereal Spirit




I'm your knight in shining armor,
I’ll vanquish demons
Real or imagined.
Hush my beloved,
Close your fearful eyes 
You shall see no shadows 
lurking.

Rest your head on your pillow 
let yourself drift into slumber,
I’ll stand guard by your bedside
All night.

Dream in peace my darling,
I’ll protect you from all evil ,
Nothing shall harm you,
Sleep tightly my dear one. 

I’ll be with you all my life 
to hold your hand, caress your brow ,
kiss your sweet face,
sleep with no fear 
I am here.
My innocent
My angel 
My ethereal spirit.

To My Daughter

Don't Ask

Don't ask me how I am   Don't ask how I'm doing   Don't bother asking how I feel   I am raw with emotion It hurts too much, it hurts to feel, to think  Asking is like picking at my wounds Making blood flow like my tears   I am one soul living two lives   Feeling for two, hurting for two   Going mad.

          My city,  You have filled my heart with longing for the future,   and tears of sadness in my eyes.  Goodbye my city,  Goodbye earthen walls,  In  you I found the joys of belonging.  I still remember the damp smell of your alleys and  And the sound of the black crows.  The shadows of your twilights have fallen on my future,  And your sunrises are in my heart.  Goodbye my city,  Goodbye my childhood. Armineh Amirian Zohrabian 1972 Arak, Iran.

I'm Simply Human

Alone, isolated, forsaken. Miserable. Burdened with duty, Defeated utterly. Powerless. Guilty. Guilty of feeling self-importance. Guilty for feeling this way, Surely, compared with the multitudes I have the least suffering. What's more, I am conscious of their misery. I listen, I read and see The tragedies that befall humanity, The devastation of wars, The loss of thousands of lives Loss of country and home The brutalities inflicted on innocent people. I see the insatiable greed of dictators That will not be satisfied  Even by the blood of children and the young. I witness the poisoned minds of zealots Fed by their false prophets Out to destroy lives, values and democracy. And I am one of the multitudes That feel this pain. I'm tormented I can’t be happy with my blessings, My fortuitous ordinary life. Because I am simply human.
