    Charles Bukowski
    “unless it comes out of
    your soul like a rocket,
    unless being still would
    drive you to madness or
    suicide or murder,
    don't do it.
    unless the sun inside you is
    burning your gut,
    don't do it.

    when it is truly time,
    and if you have been chosen,
    it will do it by
    itself and it will keep on doing it
    until you die or it dies in you.

    there is no other way.

    and there never was.”

    غادة السمان
    “يا غريب
    الى اين تذهب الاغاني
    بعد أن نسمعها؟...
    ***
    الى اين تمضي كلمات الحب
    بعد أن نقولها؟...
    ***
    الى اين ترحل اللحظات الحلوة
    بعد أن نعيشها؟...
    ***
    الى اين يذهب لهب الشمعة
    بعد احتراقها؟...
    ***
    الى اين تذهب لمساتك
    بعد أن تمضي يدك؟
    ***
    اين يذهب البرق
    بعد انطفائه؟
    و عواصف الغابات بعد رحيلها؟
    و الشهب بعد احتراقها؟
    قل لي الى اين
    لانتظرك هناك يا حبيبي
    21/7/1976”
