“قبلاتي تحتسي بين شفتيك ملايين الكؤوس من نبيذ الرمان”
― Amany Alhallaq

“I love you more than words can say. I love you more than what you can imagine. I love you more than what your senses can perceive. I love you more than all the mortals’ feelings, emotions, love, and passion combined. You became part of my blood cells’ contents. You became my white blood cells that protect me from getting sick. You became my blood plasma that I will die without. You became my red blood cells that I can’t breathe without. You became my heart, that through it, I can survive. You became my lungs, that without them, I would die. You became my brain that is the only hope for life if my heart stops functioning. You became my eyes that see you and were created only to see you. You became my limbs that I can’t do anything without. You became my nose that smells your musk, even if you are amid millions of mortals. You became my lips that touch your flesh and paint their signature on every inch of your body. I am your love who cannot live without you.”
― Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems

“At night, I rest on my couch and look to the sky. If the sky knew how much I adore you, it would give up its moon and keep you as love’s beacon in the heart of the sky.

If the earth understood my love for you, it would stop spinning around itself and around the sun, and it would
start to spin around you and rotate around my heart. But I am sure God knew how I would love you; that is why He created you.”

“العشاق يبحرون في الظلام
إلى المجهول

وتقذفهم الأمواج
على شواطئ أحلامهم
غرباء”
