“Please,
Respect my silence,
Silence is my best weapon
Did you feel my words
When I fell silent?
Did you feel the beauty of what I said
When I said nothing?”
― Nizar Qabbani

“I do not resemble your other lovers, my lady. Should another give you a cloud, I give you rain. Should he give you a lantern, I will give you the moon. Should he give you a branch, I will give you the trees, and if another gives you a ship, I shall give you the journey.”
