“I am not a finished poem, and I am not the song you’ve turned me into. I am a detached human being, making my way in a world that is constantly trying to push me aside, and you who send me letters and emails and beautiful gifts wouldn’t even recognise me if you saw me walking down the street where I live tomorrow
for I am not a poem.
I am tired and worn out and the eyes you would see would not be painted or inspired
but empty and weary
from drinking too much
at all times
and I am not the life of your party who sings and has glorious words to speak
for I don’t speak much
at all
and my voice is raspy and unsteady from unhealthy living and not much sleep and I only use it when I sing and I always sing too much
or not at all
and never when people are around because they expect poems and symphonies and I am not
a poem
but an elegy
at my best
but unedited and uncut and not a lot of people want to work with me because there’s only so much you can do with an audio take, with the plug-ins and EQs and I was born distorted, disordered, and I’m pretty fine with that,
but others are not.”
― Charlotte Eriksson, Another Vagabond Lost To Love: Berlin Stories on Leaving & Arriving

“لن تبلغ من الدين شيئاً حتى توقر جميع الخلائق...”
― ابن عربي

“وكان قلبي خالياً قبل حبكم
وكان بذكر الخلق يلهو ويمزحُ

فلما دعا قلبي هواك أجابه
فلستُ أراه عن فنانك يبرحُ

رُميت ببين منك إن كنت كاذباً
إذا كنت في الدنيا بغيرك أفرح

وإن كان شيءٌ في البلاد بأسرها
إذا غبت عن عيني بعيني يلمحُ

فإن شئت واصلني وإن شئت لا تصل
فلستُ أرى قلبي لغيرك يصلحُ”
― سمنون المحب
