*" As if the memories have a heart that beats only at night "

- Mahmoud Darwish*

*Future Dreams

Sometimes I wish that I'd stop thinking of you
To work on myself and on my future too.
But I want you to be a part of that future
So we can live and grow old together.
I don't want to ever be alone
Even if that may never be shown.
I really, really want 'us' to exist
And the reasons why make up a long list.*

How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

From Time To Time

There is plenty that needs to be done
But a break is permitted you know,
Which is why it's ok to have fun
From time to time.

StuDYINGBlack and white is all I see
Glaring from the page in front of me.
Questions are constantly being asked,
Expecting answers to be give and fast.
My brain is not fully functioning;
Nothing from the task is registering.
There are a lot of questions that await,
Exposing me like a piece of bait.
I really cannot take it anymore:
My head feels sore to the core.

Exam Season

The big moment is getting closer
And it will be one like no other.
I've got one shot to get it right
Otherwise I'd have to start a fight;
But I'll manage to do it somehow
To scrape a little together now
So that it can pay off later...
I hope.

Leisure

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

- W. H. Davis

Let's see what the politicians will say now. Their own civilians were only trying to provide humanitarian aid. To provide basic human rights to people who have been robbed of them. They were never part of the 'conflict' yet they became its victims.
