1. Ode to My White Swan
By JH Sayyar
1
I see swans over the sea, long neck and feet,
Coming from the north crossing shallow lakes
Bubbles in sea, songs sweeter than a singer’s beat,
Echoes in silence; sensual sound awakes
Floating in streams, flying in airs with grace,
Black bill and feet, long neck to search food,
Roots, shoots of seas Columbia River Region,
In winter leave the place for mating in erotic mood,
Roaming over vales to find a resting place,
For the next generation in winter problems face
I see in day dream through my poetic vision

Swans put their necks down into the seas,
Bring food from below; due to a long neck,
No fear of weather and warm or cool breeze,
Long wings enhance beauty bill speck,
Long necks for hidden foods under waters
Of coastlines, exposes their mysteries nature,
Searching for foods; hidden in watery plains
Eat searched foods, the same for next creature,
Their bills, wings and long necks cure entablature
How to trace secret food in lakes with garters,
Ve winter or summer their efforts go never in vain

I compare my Lady with a love-neck swan,
Searched me for her being for pleasure,
To guard her image late night, early dawn,
I call her; the trumpeter of peace in leisure.
Her love hovers over my head morn and night,
Flying to me far away on the wings of love,
More faster than any swan her sensual flight,
More pretty her being; a gift from the above,
Wild eyes, body zigzag removes my plight,
Five feet and nine inches, my ladylove’s height
Like swan long neck to search me in moon light
