Samar Alshareef

“بعد الحنين
هل تغفرين لو أنّي أبدي الذي حاولت أخفي ؟
سأقول شيئا تافها يكفي الذي قد كان يكفي
ما عاد يسبقني الحنين إليك أوّ ينجرّ خلفي

ما كان جبارا هواك وإنما قوّاه ضعفى
واليوم لا أبكي نواك ولا إقترابي منك يشفي”
― عبد الله البردوني

“Souls"
When two souls fall in love, there is nothing else but the
yearning to be close to the other. The presence that is felt
through a hand held, a voice heard, or a smile seen.

Souls do not have calendars or clocks, nor do they understand
the notion of time or distance. They only know it feels right to
be with one another.

This is the reason why you miss someone so much when they
are not there— even if they are only in the very next room.
Your soul only feels their absence— it doesn’t realize the
separation is temporary.”
― Lang Leav

“حرماني الحرمان إلاّ أنّني أهذي بعاطفة الحياة و أحلم
و المرء إن أشقاه واقع شؤمه بالغبن أسعده الخيال المنعم”
― عبدالله البردوني

“What was it like to love him? Asked Gratitude.
It was like being exhumed, I answered, and brought to life in a flash of brilliance.

What was it like to be loved in return? Asked Joy.
It was like being seen after a perpetual darkness, I replied. To be heard after a lifetime of silence.

What was it like to lose him? Asked Sorrow. There was a long pause before I responded:

It was like hearing every goodbye ever said to me—said all at once.”
