Being Without You, a Poem by Farzaneh Dorri

Being without you is like being in a desert without sand
like the seven continents without water
like a sky without stars
like a flower without scent
like music without sound.

A life without you is unthinkable,
the mind is dark,
the soul trampled down into the deepest hole.

behind the moon's bright face
I see your memory so distant
wandering beyond all.
