one sunny day
when i was old enough
to recognize pomegranate tree from other trees
i reach and picked one
i touched it
touched it with both hands
mesmerized by
deep reddish skin
the shape of its nipple
the firmness
the softness
the roundness
softly and firmly
i squeezed it
i squeezed it
slowly and patiently
till it began to soften
seeds moving and moving
and juice flowing inward
shaking and trembling in my hands
then came the movement
i kissed it deep
my teeth penetrated inward
uniting with seeds
flowing in red juice
slowly i sucked in
the rays of sun moved in my mouth
surrounding my tongue
sinking in my throat
and saturating my body with ecstasy

About Us

- We, Abbas and Roya Khajeaian, father and daughter, are self-taught mosaic artists. Our work is influenced by the mosaic heritage of the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean Cultures. Like any artist we bring unique images and creativity to our art work. We incorporate the colors and textures of nature to create each work. We greatly appreciate the materials that we use to create our art. We believe that nature and the materials that come from nature are art in themselves. We believe that our art exist in nature before we conceive our work. Our Work: We design and create mosaic murals for wall hanging and permanent installation, backsplashes, accessory ornaments, fireplace surrounding, and bathroom vanity. We design, decorate, and turn patios, balconies, and yards in to "courtyards." Our concept of High Altitude Courtyard creates enchanting and colorful environments to live in all year around, enhances all seasons with color and beauty. This concept is inexpensive to maintain and harmonious to a healthy environment.

Hi Abbas,
It was great to read the pomegranate poem once more. It revived the sensation I experienced many times with ripe and juicy pomegranates from Saveh!!
Check out your 4t verse though. Is the missing 'ed' intentional or a typo?
