“I want to see you.

Know your voice.

Recognize you when you
first come 'round the corner.

Sense your scent when I come
into a room you've just left.

Know the lift of your heel,
the glide of your foot.

Become familiar with the way
you purse your lips
then let them part,
just the slightest bit,
when I lean in to your space
and kiss you.

I want to know the joy
of how you whisper
"more”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

Probably because for them marriage involves sacrificing their most treasured possession -- a free-agent penis -- and for us, it's the culmination of a princess fantasy so universal, it built Disneyland.”
― Tracy McMillan

طرح الكآبة جانبا وترنما

أتراك تغنم بالتبرم درهما
أم أنت تخسر بالبشاشة مغنما؟!

يا صاح لا خطر على شفتيك أن
تتثلما والوجه أن يتحطما

فاضحك فإن الشهب تضحك والدجى
متلاطم ولذا نحب الأنجما”
― إيليا أبو ماضي

“لا تسيري مع التيار، بل كوني أنتِ التيار.”
