“No Help of that

There is a place in the heart that will never be filled a space. And even during the best moments and the greatest times we will know it We will know it more that ever. There is a place in the heart that will never be filled and we will wait and wait in that place.”
― Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense

“Grown-ups love figures... When you tell them you've made a new friend they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you "What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies? " Instead they demand "How old is he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make? " Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“You're beautiful, but you're empty...One couldn't die for you. Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass, since she's the one I sheltered behind the screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). Since she's the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she's my rose.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“تُنسى كأنك لم تكن

تنسى كمصرع طائر

ككنيسة مهجورة تنسى

كحب عابر

وكوردة في الريح

وكوردة في الثلج

تنسى

انا للطريق

هناك من سبقت خطاه خطاي

من املى رؤاه على رؤاي

هناك من نثر الكلام على سجيته

ليعبر في الحكاية

او يضيء لمن سيأتي بعده

أثرا غنائيا وجرسا

تُنسى كأنك لم تكن

شخصا ولا نصا..وتنسى

امشي على هدي البصيرة

ربما أعطي الحكاية سيرة شخصية

فالمفردات تقودني وأقودها

انا شكلها

وهي التجلي الحر

لكن قيل ما سأقول

يسبقني غد ماض

انا ملك الصدى لا عرش لي الا الهوامش

فالطريق هو الطريقة

ربما نسي الأوائل وصف شيء ما

لاوقظ فيه عاطفة وحسا

تنسى كأنك لم تكن خبرا ولا أثرا وتنسى

انا للطريق

هناك من تمشي خطاه على خطاي

ومن سيسبقني الى رؤياي

من سيقول شعرا في مديح حدائق المنفى امام البيت

حرا من غدي المقصوم

من غيبي ودنياي

حرا من عبادة الأمس

من فردوسي الأرضي

حرا من كناياتي ومن لغتي

فأشهد أنني حر وحي حين..أُنسى”
― محمود درويش
