10 years of blogging

ShahreFarang.jpg

Today I have been blogging for a decade. I started well before Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr, Linkedin, Instagram were around.

In April 2003 I set up this blog using Movable Type. I've been sharing my finds and showcasing my designs, but I'm now spending more time on ShahreFarang so please check it out.

Love Song

The one who says I love you
is a mournful minstrel
who has lost his song

I wish love had the tongue to speak

There are a thousand happy larks
in your eyes
And a thousand silent canaries
in my throat

I wish love had the tongue to speak

The one who says I love you
is the sad heart of a night
who searches its moonlight

I wish love had the tongue to speak

A thousand smiling suns are
in your amble
A thousand weepy stars
in my hope

I wish love had the tongue to speak

Ahmad Shamloo
