Delusional Circumferential Parallelism
Have you forgotten to live
while chasing a life that is not yours?
Though knowing the illusion is deceptive,
you habitually search the horizon,
while the radiance of celestial bodies blinds.
Have you forgotten Nature’s laws?
It appears to be a meeting, but
the sky and land will never shake hands.
What are you, then, searching for?
The horizon charms deluded eyes,
tempting their gaze into submission,
as your lifespan decreases by the day.
Do you recognize this deceitful caress?
Perfect harmony.
Permanent separation.

ur trying to be so deep that no one will understand and will say, oh wow she’s so deep
LOL
but its actually pretty good, yaar, im impressed
maybe the illusion of the handshake between the sky and the land is enough to charm the viewer into spending an eternity looking at it, rather then living the life that he’s been given..? sometimes illusions are enough and when they are, who’s to say its an illusion..? one can make an illusion one’s own reality. it’s all relative, y’see?
‘deceitful caress’ indeed. but, it’s SO hard not to chase when some things *seem* so real. but yes, it’s all an illusion.
you’re an artist on the inside
(do u remember that from medinah?! heeh)

sigh..i miss madina, zanubi..i wish i could go again.. hehe, i don’t know why i don’t look like i studied science.. how does one “look” like an artist? i still don’t get why they all laughed when i said i studied science. does that mean i don’t look smart???? grrr. you know, farzana from the UK wrote me a little while ago and said that she still can’t believe i’m not an artist..umm..maybe because i need some income??
abdu (if you still read this), your graduation date seems like an illusion to me..when will it be, exactly? anyways, i’m back now. well, kind of. sort of.
