Life...


"Yes, suddenly I saw it clearly: most people deceive themselves with a pair of faiths: they believe in eternal memory (of people, things, deeds, nations) and in redressibility (of deeds, mistakes, sins, wrongs). Both are false faiths. In reality the opposite is true: everything will be forgotten and nothing will be redressed. The task of obtaining redress (by vengeance or by forgiveness) will be taken over by forgetting. No one will redress the wrongs that have been done, but all wrongs will be forgotten." 

Milan Kundera (The Joke)




“Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names.
It was love lashed by its own self that spoke. It was pride half slain that fluttered in the dust. It was my hunger for your love that raged from the housetop, while my own love, kneeling in silence, prayed your forgiveness.” ― Khalil Gibran, The Forerunner: His Parables and Poems





“Yet each man kills the thing he loves

By each let this be heard

Some do it with a bitter look

Some with a flattering word
The coward does it with a kiss
The brave man with a sword” 
― Oscar Wilde, The Ballad Of Reading Gaol


"Love is a battle," said Marie-Claude, still smiling. "And I plan to go on fighting. To the end."
Love is a battle?" said Franz. "Well, I don't feel at all like fighting." And he left." Milan Kundera (The Unbearable Lightness of Being)

Waiting for Forgiveness ..

These seconds pass so slowly, days are long and nights are like dark clouds covering my shadow, I want to fly with you, fly through these everlasting hours. Unshaped and like a ghost I haunt you in your dreams, but you must know, I am … real. I will touch every part of you, remember your every breath, freeze the time , just don’t make me disappear. Draw all the pieces of me, shape me into someone you can’t live without, follow my words and the sound of my voice and I will wait, I promise I will wait, for you to forgive me, forgive me for not being next to you.

Forgotten and never remembered ...

People wanna be closer to the stars..always

but what am I darlin’ do you see me? is my breath reaching you? are my whispers coming to your soul, do you feel me touching you? when all the starlight blinds you, do you see beyond yourself darlin’? Always behind, I am your shoulder darlin’ but are you mine? I see those winds shaking our existence, we are so fragile, broken, wounded, tired.. but there is always someone behind that door waiting for us to let go, and then..it’s all over.   One pain replaced with another. Or is this a new story? Is hope actually our imagination, is freedom something we dream about, is happiness just a ghost? How can we believe in something we didn’t see, and ignore what is in front of us? What am I darlin’? I wish I existed only in dreams, maybe then I would be my true self, maybe then I would truly be loved, then I would be more real than I am now. We only leave behind what we should never loose. Haunted by happiness, freed...
