Waiting for that salty breeze
to carry my feather like weight
Away
further
and one morning I will hug the shore
and kiss the bits of that sand as they call
You are home
Here
Broken, paper thin memories
Rusty laughter rings again
We waited
you came
My eyes full of cotton clouds
and I lay there, my heart at peace
and I dream
You
Thunder blasts, under your palms
You hit and break with the weight of the night
You came at once, with a chilling hint
and I opened my door, I let you in my arms
You said you are too rough
You said you may crush my bones
You may freeze my blood
I said your touch is light as puff
Come to my bed, leave your storms on the rug
Let me count those snowflakes on your face
and wipe the mud off your weary shoulders
Let me warm your hills, with one touch, one hug
But then, you will always leave me
To freeze a lake and rain down a forest
and make every warm leaf shiver
and I sit here and watch you rock the sea
It was late when Khadija finished her chores, and threw herself in bed for some rest,listening to her father Haj Bashir and his friends, talking in the other room.
Haj Bashir was 70 year old or that is what he said when asked, nobody knew exactly how old he was. His thick white hair and beard, his deep confident voice and his unmistakable wisdom made him a natural leader and everybody listened to him.
Haj Bashir: " Tomorrow,go up the mountain and take all you can, what your brothers need. Go through the forest,take different paths and be careful. we will be victorious Inshaallah"
Khadija repeats after her father "Inshaallah"

On the edge of my window
grows a small green bud
A white candle stands in the wind
One pale frail flame
flickers with every frozen breath
and the subtle echo lives in my shells
and I know, I can hope again
Tonight,
The wind is howling
My chest is panting
and the dogs are restless
and I stare, mosquito stains on the wall
I'm just floating in this bed
Drained and full of wrinkles
and needles in the palms
Tonight,
I want to grab myself, take it off,
Hang it from the shoulders
Put it somewhere dry and clean
Tell me to rest for the night
Let the wrinkles loose
let the sweat of the day dry
and this heart have a shut-eye
It has been a year since I last saw you mom. And there is something about a year, because it's not two months, four or six months, it's one year. The back of my mind is yelling ow my god it has been one year. I managed not to cry from missing my family all this time, I made it, I put this thing whatever it is on my heart and I didn't let it hurt or feel pain from missing them. I have no idea how I did it, but I did not cry from longing all this year.
So my mind is trying to convince me that it's fine now, it keeps saying you can let go, feel what you need to feel, you did great, let it go, cry, feel sad. Because it has been one long year. I
A sudden slip into the void, emptiness blooms
letting the quicksand pull you down a hole
your stomach drops as you fall in the dark room
where you sit face to face with hurt
He will not back off with his punches
and you can't run
You sit there, and all the world's clocks stop
in that moment, in that time you wait
and so is the lump in your throat
and every thought is a puzzle
and you think:
How beautiful to be able to cry

Literature
late night conversation
It was already late when we started this conversation in the living room, talking about if we should buy a house or just move and rent a better house somewhere nice, til we save enough money to actually buy one. He was so sleepy and wanted to go to bed. Still, I couldn't stop talking about the subject.
The bedroom window let in a dim light from the street lamp, it landed on him and I could see his face. I came closer to him, I put my head on his shoulder and resumed talking about the house.
Houses are expensive, we have been looking for sometime now but the prices are almost shocking and to me depressing , while I was on the internet looki
