Meditation

I am sitting alone.
The men in my life belong to my past.
Reinout belongs to yesterday.
Mohammad belongs to last month.
Tashi belongs to last year.
Rony belongs to last decade.
Four men
four cultures
four relations
four memories in my body
four imprints in my soul
And in my present only me exist.

The men in my life belong to my past
perhaps to my future
but in my present they are absent.

I am sitting alone.
Observing my present.
Letting them slip out of my thoughts
out of my touch.
Clearing my mind
clearing my body.
They belong to my past,
perhaps to my future,
but in my present exist only ME.

Sit and watch the mountains

Sit and watch the mountains.

The strongest power on earth.

My constant motivators,

my inspiration.

Weathered on the outside,

fresh on the inside.

In our lifetime they are constant.

Always there,

defying all forces.

Bearing marks and scars,

dykes, folds, faults, landslides...

yet they are undefeatable.

Lasting on their inner strength.

Like me.

What are you afraid of?

What are you afraid of?

I'm afraid of scorpions...

I'm afraid of regretting my life...

I'm afraid of not living to my own expectations...

I'm afraid of never feeling again the way I feel when I'm with you...


You make me feel things I haven't felt before

You make me see things I haven't seen before

You make me understand things I haven't understood before

You make me want things I don't want with most guys... 

Souvenirs

I didn't go to the market to buy a papyrus or a galabiya the souvenirs I got from there are imprinted in me: my aching heart my confused...
