He said he loves me as much as the world could ever know love; suddenly my eyes were filled with tears, and when he asked me why am I crying?

I answered with my trembling voice; I thought you love me as much as your heart could love, for I  don’t care about the world when I am with you.

وجهات نظر

قال لي أحبّك بكل ما بتسع الكون من حب, فاغرورقت عيناي بالدمع
و عندما سألني لما الدموع؟!
أخبرته بصوتي المتقطع, ظننتك تحبني بكل ما يتسع قلبك من حب, فالكون بوجودك لا يعنيني

عدم

تجلس بين الأنقاض, تعتلي عرش حطامك و تبكي
نعم خسرت, و نعم تكلّمت الماضي, و  ماذا الآن؟!
حطام و ألم, وأنت تتسائل ما العمل؟
و لاشئ مهم طالما أنت وحدك.

what writing means to me

Writing is like breathing to me, I can’t live without it! I write in order to keep going in life, to reduce the burden of the time that haunts my heart.  I write to kill memories that inhibit my head day and night.

When we feel that people are unable to listen to what we have to say, when our anxieties become unbearable, I think it is better to write what we have in our minds and hearts; someone out there in the world would hold the book and reads us, reads our work and it might changes that person’s life. the hope to make a difference, to change people’s life, the hope that my words would touch someone’s heart or mind, that my story might reflects someone’s else story, that my words might comfort someone sad and tell him/her that he/she is not alone in the struggles of life, that is why I chose to write.

is a black lens that takes all colors of life

Illness

is a test that once we pass it, it changes our views on life

Memory

Is a disease if we surrender to it, would kill us

The Smile
