Owls

You are enough

[hajarnasr]

Hello, everyone!

Long time long no see. Yes, I am still alive, in case anyone was wondering. Probably forgotten, though. Anyway, I just wanted to know how you all are doing with this coronavirus going around. I hope you’re all doing well. Thinking of you all. Stay safe.

This late October day

Your warmth of being takes me

Away to crystalline lakes

With soothing breezes brushing

Past, nothing moving too fast

No breakneck pace, peacefulness

Surrounds, lush grasses offering

A soft place to sit down

Lapping waves of welcome

Rippling, rhythmic hello

Never wanting to go, so good

To know that there is such

A hospitable haven

Out there

In you

Happy birthday to my sweet and stunning friend @hajarnasr ! 💐🎂💝

[hajarnasr]

Oh, WOW!!! I love this so much. Thank you, Autumn.  💕💕 You’re the sweetest.  🌷🌻🌹

100 Lines!

I woke up this morning in a good spirit, Almost felt divine.

So I took the chance and decided to Sit down and list all the failures I have so far in my life.

Because who am I to keep feeling good For a whole two hours' time!!

Anyway, the list started with, "1- I failed to...," and then it ran wild.

One hundred lines of failures. One hundred lines of evaporated hopes.

Now, I feel meh, sorrow creeping deep inside. But the good news is, there's still hope in My heart & mind.

☀️  A Ray of Sunshine  ☀️

There's beauty in her eyes. In her chest, there's a galaxy Of fireflies.

She goes by Autumn but like Spring, when she smiles everything Around her blossoms.

She's a ray of sunshine, has no Fear of darkness. And when a friend Calls for help,

She's ready to walk for them Hundreds of miles.

Happy birthday, @autumnsunshine10. 🌷🌷🌷

[hajarnasr]

How I feel about you? I think you are simply wonderful and miss you when you go, always nice to see you active here 💙💜❤

Thank you so much for your kind words. ♥️

[hajarnasr]

The sky is clear. The wind is so gentle On your skin. Awake!

Awake from a long, deep Sleep, hearing the sound  Of a violin.

All your sins are now Forgiven. Show the world the beauty That's within. A tree! A tree with butterfly wings.

In A Dream

To the people who fear the light and come At night, while we are asleep. To the ghosts From the past who invade our dreams.

Our souls are too weary, our hearts Refuse to heal. Many years have passed. Too many faces we have seen.

But no one is ever as vivid as you are In our dreams.

Can't you forgive? Can't you forget And leave us in peace?

To the souls that are lost in the forests Of regret and grief. To the hearts that Have forgotten how to breathe.

Can't you forgive? Can't you forget And find a way to heal?

----

Dear Anon, May your heart always find a way to heal. May tomorrow come today and bring with it Joy instead of tears.

Today was a hard day for me. I woke up from a dream that a person I haven’t seen in years was my friend again, as if nothing had ever happened. This person is incredibly important to me, and it’s complicated, but I’m the one that messed things up. To see her again like this was monumental. I’ve been crying most of the day, but I could only have this moment because of the work I’ve done on myself. It may never be the way it was again, but what I have now, how far I’ve come, is everything.

I am so sorry you had such a hard day. Hope tomorrow is a better day for you. And may you never be so hard on yourself. (sending good thoughts your way)

Tell Me Something

Tell me : 

About your day

What you are looking forward to 

A secret

How you feel about me

About your crush / the person you love

Something you are worried about

Tell me anything :) I want to know. Anon or Open.

Dreams / Demons

I go to work, just to save some money. To pursue a dream that'll be Slaughtered By somebody,

Somebody I cannot tell their name. (hint: their blood runs in my veins)

For them, pursuing my dreams would Cause them only shame, just because I am a she/hers.

It wasn't my fault I was born a girl. It was my mother who used to braid my hair.

Maybe if she hadn't insisted on Keeping my hair long, on telling me, "A girl should wear a dress."

The world would've given me some slack. I would've run towards my dreams, instead of Turning them into demons & keeping them As a burden on my back.

[hajarnasr]

Why are you being so kind,  When the world to me is so cruel?

I can deal with cruelty. It’s something I’ve learned to ignore. You know, “let the dogs bark, let the wolves howl.“ (1)

But your kindness is a stranger in my world. It’s Neverland people like I don’t believe  They can explore.

So why are you being so kind? Why are you talking to me in languages I never heard before?

(1) The saying is, “Let the dogs bark and the caravans move on.” You probably have this or a similar saying in your culture. Which means in mine, don’t let cruel or unkind things that people might say about you affect your journey in life and just keep moving forward.

[hajarnasr]

A heart of a homeless resides in my chest. A mind of a stranger is in my head. A ghost I am to all my friends.

The lines I draw, The circles in which I spin, They never end.

I guess, It takes a lifetime for a soul to mend.

[hajarnasr]

I wore my ghosty gown, gave away My weary soul. Then I left the crowd, & silently went home. Behind the doors, for years I had lived. Had given up the thought of returning Back my soul.

Everything looked scary, even though I was the ghost.

-- from a ghost’s diary

Au cimetière des moments

we buried our days

and, on their grave

we were the only ones standing

with this loss

the clouds cried a million tears

while the wind howled its inner pain

we thought we’d never be here again

surrounded by this darkness knowing we’ll never be the same

all our happy days are now six feet under turning into dirt

and , we remember nothing but the hurt

— hajarnasr and h.harouche

It has been a long time since we last worked together and despite all the matters, I am very grateful to you my dear @hajarnasr  :)

this is not the poem you were looking for

[hajarnasr]

this is not the heart you once called home

[fakesurprise]

this is not the silence you heard speaking

[hajarnasr]

this is not the air you used in breathing.
