Approaches and Attitudes

Poet: Dr. Alireza Bemanian

Mentalities, approaches and attitudes, the rainy days interfere, meddle, and intervene, transient and fugacious bothers and hassles, intrude, infringe, and tamper— the interactions, struggles and combats, clashes and skirmishes, or conversions and transcends, imbalance the rims, derange expectations, deplete the prospects; outreaches and overtures, preclude and prohibit the spontaneous judgements, verdicts, and sanctions—

Mentality and grip, maturing, ripening, and growing, or merely bearing and bowing, outdistance and outstrip; believing and allowing, muddles and jumbles, intricacies and tangles, arbitrate, interfere, indulge and intercede. Contemplations, meditations and deliberations, canards, hoaxes and ruptures, the battle, mêlées, scuffles, revolve, spin, and orbit, while, the ambiance, tone, and vibe, nourish, nurture, sustain and endure, whereas, intonations, influences, and articulations, raging waves, howling winds, vindicate and substantiate to sustain.

Ardent disciples and adherents, self-proclaimers, declarers, announcers, Intone, drone, to croon and utter, passion, the wrath and ire, to merge, mingle, and conflate, to mesmerize and rivet, is it breeze, draught to harbor, or the anchorage shall store the yielding marvels.

destiny, fate, and fortune, the cyphers, presages and placards, portents, omens, and heralds, mold and shape, and arise and surface; the ether and air, breath, inhalation, the gasp and huff, gist and point, selectively and seductively pour and surge, and drizzle and soak. while, the thin substances and flows, drift and sense, and glide and float.

Disconnects and distresses, regrets and setbacks, defeats and drawbacks, entice, appeal, and decoy, eager and fervent, to commemorate, venerate, and allure, misconstructions, misapprehensions, and misinterpretations, the paths and pavements, trails and conduits, and tracks and pursuits, coarsen and harden, the intuitions, perceptions, and inklings, the pendulum cores, reverberate, resound and ring, sticky silence defies to deteriorate.

Triviality, trifle, and frippery, the blowing, raging, and carrying blasts and gusts, the rejections, discards, scrap and rebuff, the flaring, flaming, and blazing thoughts, destiny, faith, the pledge and promise.

The tiny fawn, just has bestowed the joy of smelling, sniffing, the smacking and reeking, and there are the freshly saturating grass traces, the fragrance and redolence, of the touching and caressing breeze and air, the joy of the moments, intuitions simmering within the heart, and the sun surmises bubbling springs and sparking skies.

the delight of hearing the chirps, tweets, and squeaks of flying fowls, and the peeps and peeks, lavishing her eyes, instigating, prompting and poking, judgements and appreciations, to revivify and enliven, solely while, glimpsing, sweeping, and glancing at the overstretched boundaries and horizons, the lanes and states to pave and pace her presence, the quests and pursuits; the unison and unanimity exalt, deify, and glorify.

The jiffies and flashes do not linger and loiter, the probes and hunts persist and ponder— is it the sings, carols, the chaunts or choruses, the mantras and tunes, the echoes, ricochets, or the shining and glistening of the portents and presages, the vibe, verve and vim that praise and acclaim, stride, march and tramp, or void and abyss devotees, disciples, and adherents; to acclaim and hail the continuity and link, the staring, the peeps and peeks, the lavishing benevolence and altruism, the beauty and boon, which are secreted, secured, and emanated, solely by her eyes.

Surrounding the skies, the jumping and leaping, hopping and hurdling, salutes and gestures, the marches and rallies, apparitions, sights, and visions, hypnotize the souls, mesmerize the wills, and spellbind the cores, arduousness, onerousness, and rigorousness rungs and strides, the beams, rays, and traces mandate, comply, and consent, the honor, decorum and decency, endorse, ratify and validate, the bond, tie and oath, is all mine.

Stanza Analysis

Themes & Interpretations

The Weather of the Mind

The poem abolishes the illusion of the isolated ego, proposing instead that human mentalities function like reactive weather systems. “Rainy days” and “howling winds” are not merely passing external events; they are profound atmospheric phenomena that intrude upon and physically alter our internal climate, demanding dynamic maturation rather than passive endurance.

Sensory Rejuvenation

Against the peril of “calloused instincts” and “frozen pendulum cores,” the poem pivots brilliantly to the pristine joy of a tiny fawn. With her unshielded, spontaneous appreciation of “touching and caressing breeze,” she recovers the pure phenomenological delight of immediate existence—a profound antidote to a mind paralyzed by intricate misinterpretations.

Fate as an Airborne Presence

Moving beyond archaic depictions of destiny as an immutable decree or heavy architecture, the poem reimagines fate as an ethereal, hydrostatic fluid. Delivered through “cyphers and presages,” destiny is breathed in like air and mist, coaxing the traveler to absorb its truths seductively rather than battling it as a fixed, unyielding wall.

The Ambivalence of Passion

The poem casts a discerning eye on “ardent disciples” who loudly proclaim their wrath. It poses a crucial navigational question: Does such fiery passion merely act as a passing “draught to harbor,” or does it truly lead to an anchorage that stores lasting marvels? The value of passion is measured fiercely by its ultimate destination.

The Fortress of Decorum

Resolving its agonizing investigations into a breathtaking declaration of sovereignty, the poem arrives at the final, unassailable fortress of the self. Across all rigorous and onerous struggles, the traveler asserts absolute, untransferable ownership: “the honor, decorum and decency… is all mine.” True triumph is found in this immaculate, internal architectural posture.
