“شحبت روحي، صارت شفقا
شعت غيماً وسنا
كالدرويش المتعلق في قدمي مولاه أنا
أتمرغ في شجني
أتوهج في بدني
غيري أعمى، مهما أصغى، لن يبصرني
فأنا جسدٌ شجرٌ
شيء عبر الشارع
جزر غرقى في قاع البحر ....
حريق في الزمن الضائع
قنديل زيتي مبهوت
في أقصى بيت، في بيروت
أتألق حيناً. ثم أرنّق ثم أموت
* * *
ويحي...
وأنا أتلعثم نحوك يا مولاي
أجرد أحزاني ....
أتجسد فيك
هل أنت أنا؟
يدك الممدودة أم يدي الممدودة؟
صوتك أم صوتي؟
تبكيني أم أبكيك؟
* * *
في حضرة من أهوى
عبثت بي الأشواق
حدقت بلا وجه
ورقصت بلا ساق
وزحمت براياتي
وطبولي الآفاق
عشقي يفنى عشقي
وفنائي استغراق
مملوكك.... لكنـي
سلطان العشاق”

“Despair was a choice. Hatred was a choice. Anger was a choice. I still had choices, and that knowledge rocked me. I may not have had as many Lester had, but I still had some choices. I could choose to give up or to hang on. Hope was a choice. Faith was a choice. And more than anything else, love was a choice. Compassion was a choice.”

“What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for a worthwhile goal, a freely chosen task. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.”

“There will be no mass-based feminist movement as long as feminist ideas are understood only by a well-educated few.”
