"I'll be the fire / So I can light up / An empty room / Just for you"
- Isak Danielson (Light up)
“He calls you his favorite song, but darling, hasn’t your mother told you that nobody listens to the same song forever.”

remember when you were a child and you thought the moon was following you in the car…gud times
“All I wanted was to live a life where I could be me, and be okay with that. I had no need for material possessions, money or even close friends with me on my journey. I never understood people very well anyway, and they never seemed to understand me very well either. All I wanted was my art and the chance to be the creator of my own world, my own reality. I wanted the open road and new beginnings every day.” ―Charlotte Eriksson,Empty Roads & Broken Bottles; in search for The Great Perhaps
“Nature is woman’s best friend,’ she often said. ‘If you’re having troubles, you just swim in the water, stretch out in a field, or look up at the stars. That’s how a woman cures her fears’.”
— Fatema Mernissi (via observando)
Fariha Róisín, How to Cure a Ghost
عد بوحدتك ، أين أنت تهرب؟ تعال ، أنا بلدك.
"Come back with your loneliness. Where are you running away?Come back , I am your country."
Long nights.Coffee stained books. Dark circles. Half full cups scattered around a dimly lit room. Heavy rain hitting off a window. Water filling the gutters. Tchaikovsky playing quietly on a record player. A neighboring houses window open wide enough to hear the soft violin chords. Shy smiles at books. Half closed eyes. Soft hums.

“Why do you always look up?” he asked.
She doesn’t want to share her secret. She doesn’t want to tell anyone what the real reason is. Yet for him, she found herself honestly speaking. “I don’t always look up. I just stare at the sky, whenever I feel the need to breathe. I look up every time I wanted to tell the world that I survived another day. That I love how the stars shine as if they were smiling at me.” She glanced at him and said, “It’s stunning, you know. The sky. No matter what mood it shows me. No matter how imperfect it is. It’s wonderful. And it always reminds me that there’s something beautiful beyond everything.”

harmony
i write poems to the moon
you sing to the stars
and it matters so much
especially when we're miles apart
i hold the starry night around my neck
you see it in real life
our harmony must make
such a wonderful sight
i hold my cousins close
you smile at every child you see
so let's watch our children grow
under our garden's tree
i think coffee is a waste
you say it's too bitter
let's drink our cocoa, my angel
and make life sweeter
i write poetry to piano keys
you dream to flute's gentle blows
the whole orchestra to ourselves
so let's meet in contrabass lows
angel, apart and close
are we an eternal dichotomy?
but maybe in another life we are
in perfect harmony
