Sohn Won-Pyung
“Even though my brain was a mess, what kept my soul whole was the warmth of the hands holding mine on both sides”
Won-pyung Sohn, Almond

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“خارج مضمار كل الأفكار
كل مفاهيم الخير والشر ، الفضيلة والخطيئة
هناك مرج واسع بلا نهاية
سألقاك هناك”
جلال الدين الرومي, مثنوى - الكتاب الأول

أبو العتاهية
“إلهى لا تعذبنى، فإنى مُقِرٌ بالذى قد كان مني
و ما لى حيلة، إلا رجائى لعفوك إن عفوت و حسن ظني
فكم من زلة لى فى البرايا، و أنت علي ذو فضل و مَنِّ
إذا فكرت فى ندمي عليها، عضَضت أناملي و قَرَعْت سِنِّي
يظن الناس بى خيرا،و إنى لشر الناس، إن لم تعف عني
أُجن بزهرة الدنيا جنونا، و أفنى العمر فيها بالتمنى
و بين يدى مُحتَبس ثقيل، كأنى قد دُعيت له، كأني
و لو أني صدقت الزهد فيها، قَلَبْتُ لأهلها ظهر المِجَنّ
مُحتبس : أى أن بين يديه منسكاً ثقيل الوطأة عليه كأنه قد دعي إليه و لكن الدنيا صرفته عنه”
أبو العتاهية, ديوان أبي العتاهية

Edward Hirsch
“To Poetry"

Don’t desert me
just because I stayed up last night
watching The Lost Weekend.

I know I’ve spent too much time
praising your naked body to strangers
and gossiping about lovers you betrayed.

I’ve stalked you in foreign cities
and followed your far-flung movements,
pretending I could describe you.

Forgive me for getting jacked on coffee
and obsessing over your features
year after jittery year.

I’m sorry for handing you a line
and typing you on a screen,
but don’t let me suffer in silence.

Does anyone still invoke the Muse,
string a wooden lyre for Apollo,
or try to saddle up Pegasus?

Winged horse, heavenly god or goddess,
indifferent entity, secret code, stored magic,
pleasance and half wonder, hell,

I have loved you my entire life
without even knowing what you are
or how—please help me—to find you.”
Edward Hirsch

N.R. Walker
“His hand lay across my stomach as he slept soundly. I entwined my fingers with his and breathed through the warmth that seeped through my chest. Such a simple, sweet thing to do, yet holding hands in bed was incredibly intimate.”
N.R. Walker, Spencer Cohen, Book Three
