“every mouth you’ve ever kissed
was just practice
all the bodies you’ve ever undressed
and ploughed in to
were preparing you for me.
i don’t mind tasting them in the
memory of your mouth
they were a long hall way
a door half open
a single suit case still on the conveyor belt
was it a long journey?
did it take you long to find me?
you’re here now,
welcome home.”
― Warsan Shire

: تسكن العزلة
قد تبلغ نفسك”

“you are a horse running alone
and he tries to tame you
compares you to an impossible highway
to a burning house
says you are blinding him
that he could never leave you
forget you
want anything but you
you dizzy him, you are unbearable
every woman before or after you
is doused in your name
you fill his mouth
his teeth ache with memory of taste
his body just a long shadow seeking yours
but you are always too intense
frightening in the way you want him
unashamed and sacrificial
he tells you that no man can live up to the one who
lives in your head
and you tried to change didn't you?
closed your mouth more
tried to be softer
prettier
less volatile, less awake
but even when sleeping you could feel
him travelling away from you in his dreams
so what did you want to do love
split his head open?
you can't make homes out of human beings
someone should have already told you that
and if he wants to leave
then let him leave
you are terrifying
and strange and beautiful
something not everyone knows how to love.”
― Warsan Shire

She was only the dead-leaf echo of the nymphet from long ago - but I loved her, this Lolita, pale and polluted and big with another man's child. She could fade and wither - I didn't care. I would still go mad with tenderness at the mere sight of her face.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

“I loved you. I was a pentapod monster, but I loved you. I was despicable and brutal, and turpid, and everything, mais je t’aimais, je t’aimais! And there were times when I knew how you felt, and it was hell to know it, my little one. Lolita girl, brave Dolly Schiller.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

          How it was late, and no one could sleep, the horses running
until they forget that they are horses.
                    It’s not like a tree where the roots have to end somewhere,

“أنا لم أقابل حكماء كثيرين في حياتي و لكني رأيت بعضهم. وأغرب شيء أنهم كانوا أناساً سذجاً لا خبرة لهم بالحياة ولا يعرفون عن البشر إلا أنهم كائنات عليا سامية وإن لم تكن كذلك فيجب أن تكون كذلك. وأنا لم أقابل في حياتي مجرمين كثيرين ولكني قابلت بعضهم. قابلت قتلة ولصوصا وتجار مخدرات ونساء ليل وكان الواحد منهم أو الواحدة منهن أكثر فهماً للحياة والأحياء من كل من قابلت من فلاسفة وحكماء. فهؤلاء العصاة يحبون الحياة ويرون الناس رأي العين ويحتكون بهم احتكاك الرجل بالرجل والإنسان بالإنسان. أما هؤلاء الفلاسفة والحكماء فقد وجدتهم لا يرون إلا ما في رؤوسهم وإذا حدث وقابل أحدهم إنساناً لا يراه ولكنه يرى ما يتخيله هو عنه.”
― يوسف إدريس, البيضاء
