I see faces,
they come and go.
I hear sentences, words and letters,
they are without sense and contents.
I see pictures,
they disintegrate to dust.
I recognize hands, many hands,
but I can’t catch them.
I feel coldness,
and find no warmth.
I experience grief, sorrow and pain,
and, nevertheless, can give no consolation.
I look into a deep abyss,
however, the abyss looks into me.
But, I see a bright light in the dark tunnel,
Faces, sentences, pictures, hands, warmth and consolation around it;

all friends, please share parts of my picture in this trip.
With a great pleasure I am attempting to write about one of the most mervellous books I've ever read.
A love story and what a love story it is! It engenders paradoxes; Love VS Pride.
This story is taken from the great Novel written by one of the most popular English writers Jean Austen.
In my opinion, it is not only a typical story of the English society of that time but also it reflects what is our hiden reality of societies nowadays...

we shall meet in winter
at the rail station....in baghdad
to strange sparrows
wanted shivering
under the train
migrated for the farthest
at the corner of the gulf
nestless we've lost our home
we've lost the addresses
of our friends
there remained alone
known to no one but the rain
تحت المطر
سنلتقي في الشتاء
عند المحطة في بغداد
نبتل تحت المطر
فنرتعش....
عصفوران غريبان
هاجرا من اقاصى الجنوب
عند زاوية الخليج
مالنا عش
وليس لنا مستقر
اضعنا كل عناوين الاصدقاء
وبقينا وحيدين
ما يعرفنا غير المطر
