“MY ART FOR YOUR HEART

I'm writing you a poem;
but the lights will soon be out in five minutes.
Wow! I'm writing it in foreign;
so, I hope you'll embrace the intention of the syntax.

One word, two sentences, then a paragraph;
I'm summing out my love for you in art.
Now, will your smile warmly receive this craft;
because I have signs, letters, and numbers for your heart?”
― Mitta Xinindlu

“قد علّمتنا كلّنا بيروتُ
أنّ الهلال يعود حين يموت
لبنان كيف سماك تعبقُ بالمدى
وحيًا... وأرضُك رملُها كبريتُ؟
يتنزلُ الشعراءُ كلَّ عشيةٍ
ويعرّشُ الشهداءُ والياقوتُ
أشدو ونهرُ الجرح يعبُر في دمي
ليَ ضفتان: المهدُ والتابوتُ...
وطني أتنكسر البيوتُ حزينةً
وقلوبُ كل العاشقين بيوتُ
شعبُ إذا ما الفقر حلَّ بدارِهِ
كتمَ الجراحَ وقلبُه مكبوتُ
لو تحشد الدنيا على إخضاعه
ينمو بحجم عذابه الجبروتُ
هبني أكن مرسى تنام على يدي
لو تستطيع مراكبٌ ويخوتُ
هبني أكن ألم الجراح، دم الإبا
ما همّني إن ذبت بي وشقيتُ
ما دام مجد الأرز يسكن جبهتي
وتنام بين حقائبي بيروتُ”
― Mahdi Mansour

to strengthen.
We’re like glass, all of us
perhaps we need to break a little
leaving the cracks open
for light to enter.”
