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...

Sadness is caused by intelligence..

Sadness is caused by Intelligence. The more you understand certain things, the more you wish you didn't understand them. ~Charles Bukowski

Perhaps it isn't love when I say you are what I love

Perhaps it isn't love when I say you are what I love the- most you are the knife I turn inside myself, this is love. This, my dear, is love." ~Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

I have a big heart, and sometimes I hate it,

Image
I have a big heart, anything and sometimes I hate it, I overthink, apologize too much, forgive too easily, worry too much about people who don't care about me, I feel guilty for things I have no control over, and I feel lonely because I'm afraid I won't find anyone who loves me as deeply as I love.

If you don't understand why somebody is grieving f or so long over something, consider yourself  fortunate that you do not understand.

What a marvelous feeling it would be, if we could say exactly how we felt. What a monumental victory. What a terrifying thought. - Akif Kichloo

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self centered. Love them anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. ~Kent M. Keith

My family's love, a distant song...

Image
In the silent halls where echoes fade,   I wander lost, in shadows shade,   My family's love, a distant song,   Unheard, unnoticed, all along.   Their eyes like stars, cold and distant,   No warmth, no comfort, so persistent,   In their embrace, an empty space,   A void where love should find its place.   Yet still, I yearn for their tender touch,   A fleeting hope, I cling to much,   But in this realm of darkened hue,   My family's love, alas, rings untrue. ~Ambivertsyed

Maybe what I'm hoping for isn't even possible to happen, but it's hope I'm living on. And I prefer to live and die hoping, than living and hoping to die. -sadia/@silllydiaries

I actually pay attention to the weirdest things in terms of nice gestures for example filling someone's cup when you fill yours, walking alongside of them or pausing every now and then for them to catch up with you, showing them what you know now if it's something they'll need to know tomorrow, being gentle because you know they need it, CONSIDERING THE INCOMING DESIRES OF THE ONE YOU LOVE, you don't need telepathy you literally just need to notice.

Things get broken, and sometimes they get repaired...

Things get broken, and sometimes they get repaired, and in most cases, you realize that no matter what gets damaged, life rearranges itself to compensate for your loss, sometimes wonderfully. - Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

I love people with a friendly, down to earth, chill vibe. People without pretence or pride, who don't make you feel like you have to act a certain way to impress them, or that they're silently judging you. you're comfortable around them and you can just be yourself. their whole aura is so welcoming and warm.

Thodi himmat rakh, apni baat rakh, Koi na sune toh unchi apni awaaz rakh, Yeh khudgarzo ki duniya hai, sabko apni padi hai, Teri koi nahi rakhega, tu khud apna khayal rakh .

You know what's scary about this age...?

Image
You know what's scary about this age? You can't even enjoy your down time. You're socially convinced that every moment you're spending not doing anything is wasted time. That you always should be working towards something. We forget that it's okay to have a breather and simply take time to yourself.

Everything is beautiful and I am so sad. This is how the heart makes a duet of wonder and grief. ~Mark Nepo

"I want to leave, to go somewhere where I should be really in my place, where I would fit in.. but my place is nowhere; I am unwanted."  ~Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

"Some people don't know what they have until it's gone." "But what about the ones who do know? The ones who never took a damn thing for granted? Who tried their hardest to hold on, yet could only look on helplessly while they lost the thing they loved the most. Isn't it so much worse for them?"

Image
I actually feed on intelligence, I admire people who know alot and think deeply, even a little conversation with them will take you into a new dimension, they not only know about their religion, culture or nation they belong to but their knowledge is so diverse that it gives you whole different perspective to see the world. And they don't keep their mind to themselves but also try to bring the difference in people's live, I admire such people, they are my inspiration. -Mohammad Usama
