Muslim

In my country, I learned how to protect myself. Protection from sun, wind, and men. Heavy clothing covers the skin, and scarves cover the face. It is dishonorable to appear without them and disrespectful of traditions. I dare not renounce or illegitimate them. Because of my graceful sway, men’s eyes fall on my hips.

Secret

You want to know my secret. I didn’t forget you. I couldn’t. I waste my evenings wondering, were you really there or just, in my imagination, tricks of my own making?

Sea

I look at the sea and remember you. I met you at the sea, a summer so innocent and young that I still can’t forget.

Nightmares

NIGHTMARE NIGHT ONE We are not alone. Surrounded by people unknown in familiar groups whom I don’t remember. Faces blurred in the rush of time. You were sitting next to me.

The Glass

I Regret. I had to keep my cool. But when I drink a few more glasses, it’s impossible. I freak out. They say your true self comes out when you’re drunk.

Feel

Do you feel? The love that didn’t go away. The kisses, the caresses, the sweet talks that stayed, even if we are not together anymore. Do you feel? The spark that has not been extinguished cannot be destroyed, a flame that resists the wind. Do you feel? I still feel like you do, and IΣυνέχεια ανάγνωσης «Feel»

The Tie

I am suffocated by this tie, as this woman suffocates me. She tightens my neck tightly, sitting in a knot. I’m patient, and I fix her. She tightens again as if she’s doing it on purpose. Every time I want to untie her, I don’t. I really like this particular tie, as I like thisΣυνέχεια ανάγνωσης «The Tie»

Lost Valentine

This letter is dedicated to the one who departed. His breath was lost in the abyss, in the unknown, but not far away. He, who became one with the stars, I search him among them every night. A letter to the one who left so many memories but remained nothing but a memory. He taughtΣυνέχεια ανάγνωσης «Lost Valentine»
