Letting fancies steal my thoughts, a thousand shades of a waning moon speak
Searching for clarity, all I see is a cold ocean. Fear builds up in steps within my chest, like a foreign hand, softly touching my lungs, yet, making them shiver. Memories of a child sweep me away from these grounds and let me stand as a witness on the bathroom floor when a scared girl dared herself to step under the shower of icy water. Soon I discover that these memories are forged; I've never been a child before. On the threshold of my jump, I'm drowning. I hold my breath and then the ground disappears.
When the ground appears again, I'm half dosed away.
I wish my words had a tone. I wish my words were lyrics.
I tried a thousand times before to write a story, but when my fingers touched the pencil, they started writing on their own. When I read them, I see patternless emotions. I wanted to sew them together with a plot, but they were too powerful for boundaries. They are scenes without a movie. They are a river that rebelled on civilization to become an ocean.
I wish I knew how to tango.

From the first beautiful line, I was immediately drawn into the amazing world you had created, revelling in the images and the emotions you had suffused into your magical words. Each of your posts are a delight, but also a profound journey of the mind. I shall never tire of reading your work.
I love the scenes with no meaning the best-they seem to scream what is inside the most. Somehow, someway, they must run together, no?
I loved "searching for clarity". Beautiful Maha.
what fascinating work, maha..."I've never been a child before...I wish my words were lyrics." my friend, THEY ARE! God only know what you are striving for but every time i visit your page i find intricate twists and turns that never break but wind themselves into solid masses that i can touch, then melting before my very eyes. your work is exquisite!
in a way fragments are better than full thing. also the last line is brilliant
Beautiful! "I wanted to sew them together with a plot, but they were too powerful for boundaries." Emotions, like you describe them, are at their most beautiful without boundaries. Well done! :)
This was amazing, Maha. Your posts are always a treat to read. This one was filled with emotions and images.
Have a great day!:)

Thoughts and stories without boundaries are sometimes the ones most felt. You capture emotion in a truly unique way.
