If I Were...

If I were a month, I’d be August
If I were a day of the week, I’d be Friday
If I were a time of day, I’d be 6 pm
If I were a planet, I’d be Earth
If I were a sea animal, I’d be a Dolphine
If I were a direction, I’d be North
If I were a piece of furniture, I’d be a Book Shelf
If I were a liquid, I’d be Water
If I were a gemstone, I’d be a Diamond
If I were a tree, I’d be a Coconut Tree
If I were a flower, I’d be a Cala or a Lily or a Tulip
If I were a kind of weather, I’d be a cool breeze on a sunny day
If I were a musical instrument, I’d be a Flute
If I were a color, I’d be Purple
If I were an emotion, I’d be Passion
If I were a fruit, I’d be Strawberry
If I were a car, I’d be a minivan
If I were a food, I’d be Vine leaves
If I were a place, I’d be a Masjid
If I were a taste, I’d be Nutella taste
If I were a scent, I’d be vanilla
If I were a facial expression, I’d be a Smile
If I were a song, I’d be "She"
If I were a pair of shoes, I’d be a boot

خايف أصحى مالاقيش مصر

ساعات بقلق بالليل

يعني بالليل شوية كده قبل الفجر

حسب الظروف كده بعد العصر

خايف يوم أصحي..

وأفتح الشباك.. مالاقيش مصر

ألاقيها لمت هدومها ومشيت

لمت هدومها علي نيلها علي هرمها وطفشت

وحلفت ميت يمين ماهي قاعدلنا

ماهي زهقت.. تعبت.. إتخنقت

أصلنا زودناها..

أكننا استعمرناها..

ورثناها

مصر البنوتة الحلوة اللي زي القمر

بقت عجوزة وشايبة

وبان عليها الكبر

خايف يوم أصحي..

وأفتح الشباك..

مالاقيش مصر

على سلامة

Poem From "Fracture"

"Do you dare stay out?

Do you dare go in?

And IF you go in -

Should you turn left or right?

Or right and three-quarters?

Or maybe not quite.

You can get so confused that you’ll start in to race,

Down long wiggled roads at break-

necking pace

And grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,

Headed I fear, toward a most useless place.

The Waiting Place...

For people just waiting.

Waiting for a train to go

Or a bus to come, or a plane to go

Or the mail to come, or the rain to go

Or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow

Or waiting around for a Yes or No

Or waiting for their hair to grow.

Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite

Or waiting for wind to fly a kite

Or waiting around for Friday night

Or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake

Or a pot to boil, or a Better Break

Or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants

Or a wig with curls...

Or Another Chance."

Leading Lady

You are supposed to be the leading lady of your own life

Annabel Lee

This is one of my favorite poems of all times. I remember the first time i read it; it was in AUC library in my freshman year and i fell in love with it.



It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

By:Edgar Allan Poe

مع جريدة

أخرج من معطفه الجريده..

وعلبة الثقاب

ودون أن يلاحظ اضطرابي..

ودونما اهتمام

تناول السكر من أمامي..

ذوب في الفنجان قطعتين

ذوبني.. ذوب قطعتين

وبعد لحظتين

ودون أن يراني

ويعرف الشوق الذي اعتراني..

تناول المعطف من أمامي

وغاب في الزحام

مخلفاً وراءه.. الجريده

وحيدةً

مثلي أنا.. وحيده

متى الساعة؟؟!!!!

عن أنس بن مالك رضى الله عنه :

أن رجلا سأل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الساعة ، فقال : متى الساعة ؟ قال :( وماذا أعددت لها ) .

قال : لا شيء ، إلا أني أحب الله ورسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فقال :( أنت مع من أحببت ) .

قال أنس : فما فرحنا بشيء فرحنا بقول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( أنت مع من أحببت ) .

قال أنس : فأنا أحب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وأبا بكر وعمر ، وأرجو أن أكون معهم بحبي إياهم ، وإن لم أعمل بمثل أعمالهم .

Rainbow

A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines on to droplets of moisture in the earth's atmosphere. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outer part of the arc and violet on the inner section.

A rainbow spans a continuous spectrum of colours; the distinct bands are an artifact of human colour vision. The most commonly cited and remembered sequence, in English, is Newton's sevenfold red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Rainbows can be caused by other forms of water than rain, including mist, spray, and dew
