An Israeli doctor claims 'Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks.'
 
A German doctor claims 'That is nothing, we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks.

My hated love...

Flower hates the bee for hurting its feelings time and again, year after year... But flower cannot live without the bee... When the bee is around it's in pain, it cries... When the bee flies away, it dies...

Alone...

Flower can live in the rain forest and not flourish... It can lose its beauty when it finds out where you were that night... Whose arms picked you from the stem and took you away... It died when it saw you going away on your own... Alone... 

Rose turned yellow... Sunflower without its Sun... me without mine... you without yours...

Pain...

My pen doesn't write... My mind doesn't work... My pillow is wet... My phone has been broken... Memories have been shattered... 

Rain...

The end of an era where we never thought... where we never imagined... The work of one destined both... Diamonds fell... Crystals broken... Visions wet... The end in second version... The end seems to never end...

When I was a kid, I looked at my dad's car and I saw my own face reflecting from the shiny part on the metal. I thought to myself that there is an audience that I can talk to and tell my life story. I was only seven. Now that audience has seen all of my life, so far... 

I have started a tradition for myself. Every now and then I looked into a mirror: 

"This has been my life so far, watch the rest of it live"

My dad has long been gone from this world... My eyes have drained from crying for him... I miss him dearly and I miss the childhood years of irresponsibility and carelessness... Today I am all alone... In every sense of the way...

Drained...

My life has not been fair, so far... People that I cared for and loved returned it with the sharpness of their knives... I knowingly turned my other cheek for them to do as they wish... Sometimes what you wish for is not what it is and what you know is the real truth yet you put your head in sand and think the world around you might turn the way you want and by the time you reveal yourself you painfully realize that what has been left of you has turned into dust...

Lust...

I want to be sorry for all that I have done but I don't know who to say sorry to... I don't know why and where my deeds have gone wrong that deserving is my punishment.

"This has been my life so far, watch the rest of it live"

People are the most awesome creatures in the world. The are capable of tearing your heart without touching it, killing your soul without seeing it, believing in God without knowing her, love without feeling it, love without meaning it, care without wanting it, lie without honesty, cry with emptiness, fake with every breath and run when easiest.

There are those who are worth your every breath, your every moment, your every feelings. Correction. To think as if there are more than one would be a mistake, a lie! To think that more than one person can be a true friend is "beyond the scope of this course" as they always say. There is always that one odd person who will lend you an ear, hit you in the head, and tell you the truth as they see it. 

Mine is one. One that I can always count on. One that time and again showed me the true color of people. Clear, Transparent blue...

What you are made of!

Garbage smells better, fat is more rigid, darkness is brighter, dust is more loyal, ash is higher, ice is hotter and fire is cooler...

Trust

When you walk at night, darkness covers all of what you don't see. These are the same streets, the same trees line the same sides. Everything looks like nothing. We trust darkness with every step, every breath and ever so bravely...

The Ocean is dark and scary at night. This is the same Ocean that blanketed beautiful girls and confidant men during the day. Reflected the Sun and raised waves. It is quiet and speechless. We trust darkness with every dive, every breath we hold and ever so bravely...

Darkness is the boiling point of any cycle. Once reached it is the end of one... Once passed it is the beginning of the rest... 

Day will come and another beginning struggles to beg for your trust. The trust that you so bravely gave into nothing, darkness, walking its nights and swimming its waters... We struggle to trust what we see, feel and touch yet give it to all that we don't know...

The corner

We hate school but we miss it when we graduate. We hate our jobs but we miss it when we quit. We hate to hate but we miss it when we love. We hate to fall but we love it when in love. We hate our views but we miss it when we lose our vision. We hate our vision but we miss it when we change it. 

We miss a page when we turn it. We miss the past when we turn a corner.

 The other side, unknown. But it is the unknown that solves problems. Sometimes I wish to be unknown. The cloud is raining, the street is turning, the light and I are sleeping. 

Am I turning the corner or is the corner turning?

Grandma Saba...

Ever since I moved in here a complete stranger who is the my landlord's mother comes to my window and says hi and asks me how I'm doing. She always bakes different goodies and offers some to me. The sense of caring in a stranger made me revise my belief on people. Maybe the true sense of caring emerges from the people we least expect. I call her grandma Saba...

I was born an Ocean away and lived miles away yet my heart can connect to an old woman living on an Island that no one has heard of! Makes you wonder why then people who live in the same country and share so much culture have the least of respect for one another! Makes you wonder how we can offer bombs and violence rather than freshly baked cookies from grandma Saba...
