Few poems by Mahmoud Darwish💕

Image
To mark my 300th post, I'm sharing a collection of poems by Mahmoud Darwish. His powerful words offer deep insights into love and separation. Enjoy! I love you despite the nose of my tribe, my city and the chains of customs. But I'm afraid if I sell everyone, you will sell me and I'll return with disappointments. 'I felt like my homeland was occupied again.' Out of my ignorance I called you a homeland, and I forgot that homelands are taken away. Drink your coffee, embrace the silence, do not take people seriously, do not take life upon yourself, do not exaggerate your emotions, and do not please anyone against your will. Don't befriend me for a day, and leave me a month. Don't get close to me if you're going to leave. Don't say what you don't do. Be close or get away. A University degree, four books and hundreds of articles and I still make mistakes when reading. You wrote me 'good morning' and I read it as 'I love you'. Poetry an...

Do you know what I love? How closely nature is...

Do you know what I love? How closely nature is linked with mentality. A walk in the woods can calm anxiety, sitting and dropping stones into a lake can ease anger, even taking time to pot some plants and look after them can keep my mind occupied from dissociation. It's like the earth is the oldest psychiatrist of all, and it is always there to talk to, giving me a constant free prescription. Isn't that beautiful.

It sucks that we miss people...

It sucks that we miss people like that. You think you've accepted that someone is out of your life, that you've grieved and it's over, and then bam. One little thing, and you feel like you've lost that person all over again. -Rachel Hawkins, Demongla

Life is not all the happy moments...

Life is not all the happy moments, and life isn't only the heartaches either. Everyone goes through good or bad things they don't talk about and no one else knows about. ~Sadia Hakim

You cannot make everyone think and feel as deeply as you do. This is your tragedy because you understand them, and they do not understand you.

Within me are a hundred joys, a thousand sorrows, innumerable hopes and heartbreaks, and a small empty corner in which I hide from them all. ~Antonio Porchia

You are most powerful when you are silent. People never expect...

Image
You are most powerful when you are most silent. People never expect silence. They expect words, motion, defense, offense, back and forth. They expect to leap into the fray. They are ready, fists up, words hanging leaping from their mouths. Silence? No.  ~Alison McGhee, All Rivers Flow To The Sea.

You don't ask people with knives in their stomachs what would make them happy; happiness is no longer the point. It's all about survival; it's all about whether you pull the knife out and bleed to death or keep it in. -Nick Hornby

There's both beauty and strength in your softness, in your kindness, despite the world having given reasons for you not to be. ~Suhaib Rumi

Image
You don't know how easy it is to make someone believe that they're bad and you don't know how hard it is to heal what you've broken inside them and how long it can take for them to believe again ..that NO, they don't destroy everything they touch and that THEY ARE actually good people.

Image
It's so difficult to describe depression to someone who's never been there, because it's not sadness. I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it's that cold absence of feeling that really hollowed-out feeling. -J.K. Rowling

You're neither far, so I can wait for...

You're neither far, so I can wait for you, Nor close, so I can meet you. You're neither mine, so my heart can rest, Nor forbidden for me, so I can forget you." ~Mahmoud Darwish

And maybe someday in life when you will...

And maybe someday in life when you will find yourself drowning out of grief, May your kind deeds become the buoyant force to lift you up. ~Tahseen Anam

There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds. The worst wounds, the deadliest of them, aren't the ones people see on the outside. They're the ones that make us bleed internally. ~Laurell K. Hamilton, Mistral's Kiss

I never wanted to be a hard-hearted person, I wanted to be someone as soft as a feather. -imann poetry

I am someone who thinks and feel more....

"I am someone who thinks and feels much-more than is reasonable. And that is all.”

Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting...

"Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water.  Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes.  Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still  fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day.  And you can make it one more. You're doing just fine." - Charlotte Eriksson

Any moment might be our last. Everything is more  beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be  lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again. ~Homer, The Iliad
