Manar Mamdouh

“Knowing you,
I became mindless.
Having wasted previous wishes,
I'm riddled with regrets

Feeling you,
I became hopeless.
Adrift in chasms,
I surrender to a caress.

Loving you,
I became love.
My universe became love.
Planets rotate on love's axes and
apples fall to be near their beloveds.

No longer a rationalist, I assert my existence with love.
I love, therefore
I exist,
therefore I
love.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“I exist in the tears that you shed when you stumble upon a song that brings all your memories and pours on you at once. I exist in every touch of you, that kills a rose for a second and then makes it immortal. I exist in that thunder that shakes the heart of your world and brings it down to its knees. I am everywhere inside you, where you know I would exist, but you would never search.”
― Akshay Vasu, Between the Abyss and Paradise
