هن حواء

ضحكاتهن الصاخبة
تستطيع ان تسمع صداها بالأركان
لا تستطيع التمييز
ما بين اصواتهن
واصوات الطيور المغردة
استقبالا لإشراقة شمس يوم جديد

عيونهن اللامعة
تنير وجوههن وابتسامتهن البراقة
فسلاسلهن السمراء
تتطاير مع نسيم الفجر
تلمع تحت اَشعة الشمس
الناعمة
تتدلى خلف ظهورهن
في تاَلف بديع

هن البرية الجامحة
وقد اختلطت بسحر قوي
تطيب له الانفس
فامتلكن جمال الدنيا
ومتاعها
وامتلكن العذاب
ولك الاختيار
ما بين سحرهن
او عذابك المختار

هن نساء
امتزجوا بجمال الطبيعة
فترى فيهن نسيم الجنان
فما كن من نساء الارض
ولا كن من الحوريات

هن سحر، هن رحمة، هن حواء

هي حياة_الجزء الثاني

أطلق عنانها
فلتتركها كما الطير
في الأفق 
يتشبع بسنا الشمس 

أطلق مخيلتها
لكي تأخذ سبيلها
في البحر
كموج المد

حل وثاقها
فهي خلقت كي تكون السكن
خلقت لتكون الظل
وقت المحن
ففي دلالها نشوة
وفي عشقها سلام
وفي ابتسامتها 
تعريف معنى الحياة

فاتركها لما خلقت
كيفما خلقت
فهي ليست بظلام
هي حمرة الشمس
في شروقها ومغربها
هي امرأة، هي طبيعة، هي حياة

هي حياة

ما تبقى غير الحطام
بقايا امرأة 
تستطيع ان ترى العفن 
يتفاقم
،تستطيع ان تري من خلال الفراغات
عظامها المتحللة
فقد تحولت من فتاة الى خراب
يتغذى عليه العثه
ما تبقى منها يسمح بان تتراكم عليه الطفيليات
فقد اصبح جسدها مهجعهم
،فذلك الجدار الصلب قد تفتت
و شابت خصلات الشعر النارية
الملتهبة بنيران الحياة
عيناها اللاتي كن منبع الوجود قد ذبلا
مخلفين ورائهما مقلتان كواهما الهوى
ما تبقى منها سوى الحطام
جسد متحلل 
يتسلق جداره العفن
و يتراكم عليه الزواحف
بحثا عما يستطيعون نهشه
و لكن كلما زاد عددهم
زاد قتلاهم
فقد تخلل الفساد خلاياها
مهلكا كل ما تنبض فيه الحياة من حولها
هي امرأة، هي خطيئة، هي حياة

Give Me Love

Originally written on 22/ 05/ 2013

**************************************
He sells her love with his charm
His ability to dance keeps her alarmed

He sells her love in a barren land
A sterile thought that's only dead

His sweet tongue kills her doubt
As he stretches his arm persuading her to dance

She spins and spins, as if under rain
She gives him love without hesitation

She spins and spins, she dances again
When her eyes open to his silence

By a false passion she was blinded
Waking up to the spikes of consciousness

He leaves her for pain
He leaves her for guilt
With "Give me Love" still echoing in her head

Love she gives and Pain she reaps
For you don't always reap what you sow
Sometimes you only reap
The stings of the spikes of the rose

Whisky

Pour me a couple of shots more
Let me pour it in to fry these sins
Tear through the thick skin
Suffocating the purity drowning constantly
Underneath it

Pour me a couple of shots more
Let the world spin around my core
Dissolving the darkness I’m carrying on my shoulders
Blocking my feathers from growing into wings
And make me fly

Pour me a couple of shots to kill me off
To burn me in the head
And boil in my blood 
As it crumbles my vessels
Combusting my organs

Pour me a couple of shots
To drink in my euphoria
As I stand burning on a stake 
By the fire of my thoughts
That never gets extinguished nor a little bit cold

So as you pour me the shots
And I drink them gayly
Know that it’s only a disguise 
From a life that’s weary
You pour, I drink, I pay and I giggle
And for naked, sexy, broken women I’ll whistle
And take them to my bed as I stutter and stumble
To hug me as I sleep for my world is empty
Pushed off a cliff by my extravagant vanity

Blessed Days (Within Temptation II) (A Short Story)

A friend of mine once told me that my “One True Love” would be the one whom I least expected him to be. He’d be someone just as tender, as innocent, and as sweet as I am from within. He would be all that I’ve hoped for him to be. She also said that when he comes, he will make himself recognized and win my love without me noticing him; “You’d be loving him like you’ve loved no other man and when you’re to be asked about how you both came across each other, you’d go speechless and he’d be the one telling the story”. This sounded very appealing. I loved the thought of the “unnoticed man” and I fantasized about it because I wanted it, I lurked for it all my life. This, nevertheless, didn’t stop me from thinking that it’s very unlikely to happen. Accordingly, I just couldn’t stop myself from having these “undefined emotions” for the one I think I’m in love with. After pursuing my infatuations, I came to believe in the words of my “twisted sister”. I came to believe that “The best is yet to come”.

“Today is going to be a blessed day” that was the first thing that I said when I woke up in the morning at 5:30 AM for Al-Fajr prayer. I just felt purity and happiness, a rare happiness that I don’t get to feel much because of my “volcanic” nature. The past two days were ones of the best in my life, I was just happy; enjoying the side of me that I don’t get to spend much time with. I was discovering, or maybe better say manifesting, the side that I keep hidden from everyone because it’s inappropriate. The side that each of us keep from others and only speak of to our closest friends in the late hours of the night so as to let it go unnoticed. For the first time ever, I was the side that I was ignoring and only acknowledged in his company.

I have been spending time with him for three days now; three long, tiring days but for me they were full of laughter, joy and ecstasy.  He noticed, I noticed, everyone noticed and I honestly couldn’t care less. I was over the moon and that was the only thing I cared about. I was only looking in his eyes and smiling from within when he smiled. I loved the feeling, a new one that pushed me to the extremes. It was the feeling that I have always watched on movies but never experienced. I didn’t know if it was love or sexuality, I only loved it and I decided that I will only be enjoying it and thinking less about everything else. I was living for the moment and for the joy that I was glad about.

I knew that what I was doing was wrong. I shouldn’t be feeling this nor should I be following my emotions in this way. I did what I felt like doing and I forgot about all the constrains. That’s why I’m loving him I guess. I love him because with him there is no right or wrong, there is only what I feel like doing. There is no thinking, there is only wilderness. It’s like seizing the moment and following our untamed fantasies no matter what others might say. There was no fear and no worry, just cherishing and enjoying our time to the second.

This was the first time in which we go out together, alone and free. I was finally unchained from the fear of the thoughts that might hit the others if they noticed how I looked at him, how I reacted to his actions and how I just loved spending time with him. It was compelling to stay close to him, make snarky comments about other people, and observe them closely while they couldn’t notice us because they were indulged in the things they were doing. It was like standing behind a curtain and taking a look at the crowd who didn’t know that we existed. I just wanted to hold his hand, pull him close, kiss him on the cheek, walk with him down the street while looking in his eyes, and smile. That was my ultimate ecstasy, my heaven. Of course I couldn’t do all of that; like always I was irritated and I held most of it back. I only held his hand for like a minute or two and then I was too uncomfortable for it was a new thing to me and I let go of him quickly. It was an emotion inside of me, an emotion that I wanted to pursue, and when done I was just so angry at myself but stronger than that, I was happy that I was spending time with him. It’s only then that I started to believe that it is "An un-heavenly union". I’m starting to believe my Twisted Twin.

A couple of days before it all took place, I prayed for God’s assistance. I asked for his guidance about what I felt. Although I knew that what I was doing was wrong, it didn’t keep me from doing it. I wanted to experience this and make use of it to its maximum. The signs came in with disapproval and they just kept accumulating until they were too many for me to ignore even that I wanted to. The first sign was the distortion of the plans that I’ve put the week before for some circumstances that came up and I wasn’t considering that they might be an option that would happen. I was unable to do or say most of the things that I was intending to. I opened my mouth a couple of times to speak but the words just wouldn’t come out, they got stuck on their way out. And a couple of things more.

These three days made me see my untamed wilderness coming to the ground of reality, after being submerged in the bottom of the abyss for so long. I saw an impure, corrupted vision of myself coming to life. I saw how much I can be aware of something and still do the exact thing that conflicts with it. I learned that everything is possible and everything can be pursued in two ways, the wrong one and the right one. I just acknowledged this as I sat with glittering eyes to digest it all in Al-Sayeda Zeinab’s mosque after I have prayed while smiling, thanking God for the truth, and singing:

"It’s been a long day,
and all that I need now is to rest in the tranquility of that place.
It’s been a long day,
but I’m grateful for every moment that I’ve spent away."

If I’m to repeat it all over again, knowing what I know now, I think I'll be repeating everything in the same way. I don’t regret a minute but I know that I should have acted better than this. My time with him is not wasted and I shouldn’t lament anything. After all, I learned about myself more than any would have spent weeks lecturing me about. I now believe that “The best is yet to come”; it's a new dawn, a new day, a new life for me and I'm feeling good.

Chocking Over a Rising Sun (A Short Story)

Chocking can be experienced in one of two cases; either you’re chocking on your own death, or you’re chocking on emotions and feelings that you can’t express. Not being able to express emotions is ruthless on its own account, and when persists for an ample duration of time, it turns into a killing symptom that can be identified medically as chocking. Here it’s metaphorical of course, but it’s psychologically fatal nevertheless. That’s what happened to her after not being able to identify her illness on the appearance of the first symptoms of emotional malfunction.

It was like cancer cells spreading, it was eating her from the inside out, and she was unable to assist with reversing its destructive actions. She couldn’t run, neither could she hide. After all, how could someone run from himself but to himself? The thing is, herself was vacant and irresponsive to her calls to snatch her from her trips. This mediator inside of any of us was malfunctioning as a result of the feelings left unsaid and undetermined within her; they were chocking her on words not expressed but carved in the back of her head with a fire blade that was hammered on a volcano fire. The invincible version of her has gone, leaving her only to the one that she can’t tolerate; her vulnerable soul.

As complicated as implied, this is only a mere reflection of her tangled mind. Her inability to act against the combat taking place within her was only a result of suppressing it for too long. Being always the one staying strong can be as devouring as acknowledging one’s weaknesses and helplessness. It isn’t one of her traits to come clean about something that bothered her, she has always been a Woman of Steel.

Now, everything can only be seen through the gaps that she left for herself by her prints; a life so blurry with no definitions. Her pain set everything on fire, melting the snow that was covering her heart. The sun which rose on the following day was cold enough to condense the vapor of her rage, leaving everything in the darkness of her despair. Her aching soul can be seen through the watery glare, hovering on the gloomy city, the city of her numbed mind. She’s waiting for the right time to strike back with full force, taking her revenge upon the days that caused her vanity.

She exploded, she flipped the switch and broke through her bars. Her words, although not conveyed, were expressed through her actions breathing fire. Her anger turned into a kind of invincible strength, a kind that she didn’t know existed in her. It seems that the sun that crystalized her rage is the same sun that washed her agony away by intensifying her aches and burns, turning them into a kind of fueling power for her to pursue her life course. Her act of mutiny against herself and the world only resulted in a battle that ended with a tie and a new power conquering the two foes under one rule, her rule. The maneuvering ended when she discovered that she’d ran out of places to resort to so she can only now resort to herself knowing that it was herself from whom she was hiding. By accepting herself and her temporary phase of timelessness, she gained back her sense of time and her faith in herself.

Accepting one’s helplessness and weaknesses is only one way to discover the strengths that one has. Complying with the urge of breaking from one’s self can sometimes be healthy. After all, there is always a new dawn after every killing darkness and there is always a shining sun to dry the rain and melt the snow. Vulnerability as another face of strength, you should experience helplessness to challenge your potentials and know your extremes. My Friend to whom I’m dedicating this, you’re one of the strongest females I’ve met, you’re persistent and self-assured and self-confident. You’ll get over this phase of depression, as long as you’re breathing. You’ll be fighting because you give me strength and I am not willing to be deprived that by you. 

Dedicated to Deena Heggi <3 I Love You :*
