I've lost my sister to cancer 6 years ago. This is something I will never get over for the rest of my life. I think that the idea of getting over loss is wrong. This is something you live with, day in day out.

Stay with me, the night is silent, my ribs are cold, and solitude is a lover who doesn't play right. Stay with me, the tea is steaming, the poem is warm, and love is a flower that grows in your light.

@ShahedAlrawi القراءة تعطي كثافة للحياة. القراءة تكثف تجاربنا وتعمقها. القراءة جزء من الواقع، من اختبارنا للحياة وليست رديفا لها وعوضا عنها. أجد في نفسي قدرة أكبر للاستمتاع بالحياة وتجاربها لأنني أقرأ وأكتب. أجد في نفسي قدرة أكبر كي أُحِبّ وأُحَبّ. لقد كانت يوما القراءة فعل هروب. لم تعد كذلك.

As a poet you cannot wait for your intellect to allow your surrender into your poetic flow and its intuition — the intellect will never allow it, for it is its very nature to remain skeptic; a leap must be made, and the intellect, humbled.
