LOVE
This word
Made worlds turn upside down
L

That feeling you have
When you see the wild ocean for the first time
When you see how white the snow is for the first time

As you dig deeper
You will know
that ..

You can drown
In that same water, you prized
You can freeze to death
In the same feathery snowflakes
That fascinated  you
By their unique shape
By their glimmering

As you dig deeper
You will know
How sweet it is that feeling of love
And being loved

" it's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all "

A mixed haphazard feeling

L  i  k  e    T H a t   F e e L i n g  

WHEN ...
you taste that first sip of coffee
from your favorite mug
in a sunny spring day

WHEN ....

you smile at a stranger
and smiles back

you travel with no destination
and the universe keeps on surprising u

you dance like no one's watching

you sleep under the stars

you can't sleep
because you are excited for the next day

you are running into someone
you haven’t seen in a while

you draw a big smile
on the faces of your loved ones
" it's better to have loved and lost , Than never to have loved at all "    taken from a song called MORAL OF THE STORY

Jeong; Korean word , it is a connection between two people that can't be severed  ,even when love turns to hate you will always have tenderness in your heart for them

HERE AND THERE WE GO
HERE AND THERE WE SHATTER

LOOKING FOR ONE WARM HUG
THAT WILL REFRESH OUR BONES

A  LONG KISS
THAT WILL REVIVE OUR SOUL

STILL WAITING FOR THEM BOTH
AND IT WILL BE A REBORN
I WAS HERE :)

maryem Dec 2020
You are the One
My pill of love
I need your lips
To medicate
I need your thoughts
To meditate
I found safety in your arms
And peace in your walks
My celestial haven.
The caffeine I crave
When I get a taste
Of your smile
Each and every morning
I was here :)

Lost pieces of you
You never knew existed
You will find them
In places WHERE
You never BOTHERED to look
*You will find those pieces of YOU, and you will like them

I WAS HERE :)

Shadow of a 'Young soul'
maryem Jun 2020
Heart in a bottle
Smoke in the air
Soul in a cage
Black and white tears
Dried out thoughts
Hazy melodies
Here and there
Spirit floating over body
Mind wondering how is it to feel alive
I was here :)

Maybe it will change , maybe not
Still looking for a gleam of light

Book Thief
maryem Jun 2020
She was the only beautiful thing
In her dark world
Bodies were falling apart around her
Since her childhood
She couldn’t read or write
But she was the book thief
She stole “  the gravedigger’s handbook   “
And when she was asked
She said -it wasn’t always mine-
She met a bird
Who was forbidden from life
From seeing the sun and the daylight
She described it for him
The weather, the day
The coldness of the snow
The heat of the sun
Painted the pages of a book
Then she wrote her own story
The book that the bird gave her
And said “write , words are the only thing that make us humans”
She was living for books and words and lines
She lost all the dear souls
Under the left pieces of war
Except her book
And the bird
I was here  :)

Fire in the breeze
maryem May 2020
When someone you love dies
Memory keeps on turning
The pages of "all the moments " you spent together...
I was here :)

Be careful , make those moments worth remembering

Wrote it after watching " Me , Earl and the dying girl "

Reviens-moi
maryem May 2020
We were young
So young
We were meant to be
Meant to meet
In the heavens
In the seventh sky
I was here :)
btw "reviens-moi " is a great movie to see

Steadfast
maryem May 2020
I will always remember
That day
When I saw u
In front of me
When U hugged me
How I felt warm
Like my bones and yours
Were melting
And became one
I wanted that moment
To be eternal
Everlasting
My little cold bones
Are still waiting
For another breath-stealing reunion
So they can feel alive
And full again
I was here :)

maryem May 2020

Memory trip
maryem May 2020
I miss those days
Being sun-kissed
Going to that coffee shop
Where I find that old man
Every morning
Saying "good morning "
And asking how am I
I get a hot cup of coffee
And a morning smile
That refreshes all the good feelings
In my way home
I let my feet choose
Where they want to go
What road they want to take
I see how the wind moves the tree leaves
And the petals of those white flowers
In front of an old couple’s house
How those dandelions
Growing next to an abandoned home
Completing the view of that white wall
Like they are part of it
I miss those walks
When there is just me , my coffee and the blue skies
Walking around
Making that nice eye contact with strangers
Followed by a smile
And never seeing them again
My feet took me to these places
My memory  took me  back to visit
I seized the moment
I was here :)

the kind of mornings I like

~Stitches~
maryem May 2020
I feel like
All the pieces
I was trying to hold
Are falling apart
Again

Maybe if I embroider my heart
With hope
It will bloom
Someday
I was here :)
Have hope , you will be just fine

Here with you
maryem May 2020
Far physically
Near spiritually
Even if I'm not there
Close your eyes
Take a deep breath
Listen to the rivers
Of blood
You will find me
Inside of you
Melted
Mixed with it
Flowing
So you can stay alive
I was here :)
this is my coffee talking to me

2AM thoughts
maryem May 2020
Late at night
After midnight
I am here
With my cup of coffee
With all the sounds in my head
With all the fantasy
The mystery
I sat there under the moon
Under those three lined stars  that I like
Under that cold  breeze
I am here
With a gale of thoughts
I wish they are just like that breeze
Come and go before you know it
And between all the thoughts
Between all the words
“  Y o u  “   came
With all the memories
That were here
In a dark room
In the back of my head
Waiting for the nice cold wind
To stimulate the memory
With sadness
With the  hope of having it back
To have me back
The old  unbroken me
I was here :)

confusion
maryem May 2020
I am awake and asleep
Awake or asleep
Nothing in between
Conscious , unconscious
I don't know anymore
I over feel
or , I don't feel at all
Bad and good
Lost
I was here :)

Belonging
maryem May 2020
I always tried to have that feeling

That feeling of belonging

I feel rejected

By them all

By the city, the neighborhood

By the air , the ground

By the whole

Sure , that's how it was

And how it is

And how it will be

I don't belong

I will never be
we feel this way sometimes

Stranger Inside
maryem May 2020
I am a stranger
Stranger to my own body
Feeling weird
Like it doesn't belong to me no more
Stranger in my mind and to my mind
Between all the dark thoughts inside

Sometimes , I feel like I'm out of my body
Watching
Watching it getting bad
Day by day
But I can't do anything
Because I'm out of it

Something inside tells me
"just keep watching "
Something is holding me
Keeping me down

And I'm just waiting
For something to happen
To save me , from me
What is it
I don't know too

I will keep watching
As I was told...
just something that was inside ...

my cup of coffee
maryem May 2020
Cold cup of coffee
Like my hands in a snowy day
Like the cold silence
After the last hurtful words
Said by the one you love
Like the cold conversations
Before a breakup
Like the cold you feel in your chest
After a warm goodbye hug
Cold cup of coffee
When you are drown in thoughts
Drink it while it is warm...
May 2020 · 108
the cup
maryem May 2020
My coffee is black
Like the night sky's color
The sugar
Is like the bright stars in it
The smell
Is like the fresh air
The warm touch of the cup
Is like a hug
In short, it's a hug in a mug
Tasting like love

silent voice
maryem May 2020
In the depth of the dark
I heard a voice inside of me
Saying
Why do you have to hurt me
Why do you care about others more than me
You give me pain
And you expect me to heal
I sat there, wondering
Whose voice is this
After a while, I realized
It is my little heart
I am sorry little creature
I always ignored you

— The End —
