I can hear you whispering in my ear, every night before I go to sleep:

"You will always be fond of me.
I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit."

And to that lullaby, my eyes rest.

When love and hate merge.

The quote is from Oscar Wilde.

I see pictures of us

At a party
At a friend's marriage
At a concert
On the sand
On a cruise
In a tent
On my bed
On your bed
Under a tree
Under a waterfall
On a high rock
In cold water
On my balcony
In your car
In my dad's car
At an old ruin

Eating Balila
Running on pebbles
My lips on your cheek
My lips on your lips
Our eyes closed
Holding flowers
Drinking wine in a bottle of water
Naked
Dancing in the sea
Riding your back
Wearing your sunglasses
Looking at me sleeping
Looking at you looking at me
Splashing me with water
Running after you
Wearing your jacket

That is all I have
Pictures of us
Where you always reside
Where I can always be with you.

Love, always and never.

If the person you love
Is truly
Holding you up
Then there's no way
You could fall
For someone else
I want to pick you up on a weeknight and take you down to Beirut, to alleys and streets you have never been to.
I'll take you to my favourite place for a happy hour drink, and after 9 p.m. we'll share one of the best bread loaves you will ever taste from the bakery I love the most.
Then you'll see me dancing while driving, for the first time, to one of those upbeat radio tunes.
And we'll end up in Jbeil, at the beach, running into the water for a late night dip; splashing each other and screaming like little kids and kissing each other every once in a while like the lovers we are in this very moment.
Then we'll sit by the shore and play games till we dry up.
And the clock will remind us that I should take you back home, wishing I could stay with you for a couple more days. And I'll try to make you stay in the car and you will hug me very tightly and then you'll forcefully leave because it is almost 3 a.m. and I still have a long way back home.

Annihilation.

11/8/2016
with torches burning from behind
there's none like me to stand beside
it was a shock to wake up to find
I can't find nowhere to hide

with pieces of mankind's designs
there's a monster living deep inside
I hate who made this life of mine
I just couldn't get by if I tried

made with parts of different kinds
brought to life by lightning applied
there's no peace left in my mind
I can't find nowhere to hide
.قاعدين. كاسة شاي بين إيدينا و عيونا ما عم بفارقو بعض
.عم بتِطَّلَّع فيّي, بدّك تغطس بكَياني و تصارع أمواجي و تسبح بتَيّاراتي
.و أنا بوبو عيني واسع و مش شايف غيرك و عم بِصَرِّخ
.بدّو تتركو بسلام
بدّو تحرّرو منّك
بدّو يديق ليرجع يوسع لغيرك
و ما بلاقي غير إيدك صارت ع فخذي
و أمواجي بتجرّب تعلى لطُّمَّك
و تيّاراتي بتجرّب تقوى لتسحبك
.و كَياني بصير مِلِك هورمونات بتخَدّر دماغي للحظة و بآمن بوجودي معك
.بآمن فينا أنا و إنت سوى
.و الإيمان بدّو صلاة ليستمر
.فبشرب كاسنا و كاس إيماننا و بِكْرَع فنجاني الشاي لآخر شَفِّة


We're sitting together, drinking tea and looking at each other.
You're looking into my eyes, diving into my entity, conquering my waves and swimming in my stream.
And my pupil is wide open, seeing no one but you and yelling.
It wants you to leave it be,
It wants you to set it free
It wants to tighten so it can widen again for anyone but you.
Only then, your hand finds its way to my thigh
And my tide grows high, trying to drown you
And my stream grows stronger trying to pull you to its bottom
And my entity becomes the slave of hormones that shut down my brain for a moment
For it to believe in my presence with you.
For it to believe in you and I as one.
And since every belief requires a prayer,
I drink to us and to our belief and I chug my cup of tea till its last drop.

.من كَسّر لنرجع نعَمّر
We destroy to build anew.

An irrational fixation, an aberration of sense and reason, a heart committed to treason, betraying the self and the pursuit of peace
I'm a sad person
With a messed up mind
I am in a happy place
But I'm so far behind
Away from society
And what they say is 'right'
I do my best to stay away,
on my own path- the future is bright
