Flashes of images.
Lost and reconstructed.
Arbitrary memories.
Words, people, places, actions and feelings stored for rememberance or oblivion.

Flashes of images.
Deformed by desires.
Revoked to feel.
A dream wide awake.
A passageway into the past to escape the present.

Flashes of images.
Shelter of secrets.
Short, re-acted and unclear.
Abstract yet vivid.
Unreachable but so very near.
A black hole that ***** you into another dimension then spits you out.

Memories never function the way we expect them to.

It's all a preparation for a blow you are intending on.
I've been sailing on high tides and land is near. Will you break the waves in halves or will you raise them to double their size?
Grow or destroy. That is the game. And you are unpredictable, like a sudden storm in the midst of March.
Unpredictable but Harmless.
Harmless.
Therefore, blow in my face spring's breeze. Let me close my eyes and feel your breath on my eyelashes.
I've forever told you you are beautiful, and you forever will be.

****. No. Let Live.
Hate. No. Love.
Repress. No. Express.
Forget. No. Remember.

Nostalgia.
I knew the word but I never thought of using it before someone actually knew that that's what I was feeling.
This urge to run away from everything only to attend what I love to do the most.
I said,
"It's as if, in my past life, I was a dancer who has danced on stages around the world. I give myself to my body. It's more than love, more than adoration, more than passion."
"It's nostalgia." she said.
I was struck.
Yes. It feels as if I never stopped dancing. It feels as if it's the only thing I know how to do ever so naturally.
I sleep knowing tomorrow I'll dance.
I dream about the dancer I have yet to become.
I wake up thinking how to dance throughout the day.
It's not about The Nutcracker and the Sugar Plum Fairy, nor the last dance of the Dying Swan in the Swan Lake, nor about Giselle and its romanticism.
It's about Clara's courage that saves The Nutcracker, and how the Dying Swan feels pain in her broken wings and how true love saves the man Giselle loved from death.

I've always told myself that at the end of the day you only have yourself, but now I've came to realize that I've forever slept with an immense love in my heart - the dance world, a world that has found me decades ago and left in me a nostalgia, a longing, an approach to how amorously  I can embrace myself.

Dance on and on and on.
Obsession saine.

Secrets - When you're alone in your bed, they are harmless, in fact they might induce a sense of pleasure.
But when you are around the people you're keeping your secrets from, they nibble slowly on your heart until the pain of every nonexistent bite numbs you.
But dear, being numb is losing all senses, it is losing all feelings, therefore being numb is losing yourself.
Be careful what you wish for at heart.

Notre vin est rouge et nos levés de soleil sont rosés. Enivrons-nous.

Our wine is red and our dawns are rose. Let's get drunk.

رَقَصنا حتّى مَلَّ الليل و سابَ مكنّه للفَجرِ
و مَكَثَ القمر مُختَبئاً في سماء النّهار يتأمَّلنا
فالحبُّ لا يضجر



We danced until the night got weary and left it's place to the dawn
And the moon hid in the daytime sky to watch us
For love never gets onerous

Once more it was you
This itchy thought in-between my legs
This greed, this insufficiency
This urge to run away, the force of habit of coming back
Once more to you, with you, beside you, on you, in you, under you, on top of you, next to you, close to you, to you, you, you, you, you.
Never satiated. Never will I be.
