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.

I have long embraced that I feel things so very deeply. Love, as if my heart would burst. Sorrow, as many agonizing deaths. Joy, as though the moon were in my arms or the entire galaxy in my chest.  And so I know, that my immortal soul is far greater than my mortal body. And perhaps, when I have returned to my forgotten home, I'll look back at this world and say that was one helluva ride. ~Suhaib Rumi
