Quote by Mosab Abu Toha

“A poem is not just words placed on a line. It's a cloth. Mahmoud Darwish wanted to build his home, his exile, from all the words in the world. I weave my poems with my veins. I want to build a poem like a solid home, but hopefully not with my bones.”

“Sanjala je da živi u Parizu, bujna kosa, aristokratska lepota, porcelanska put, rumeni obrazi, svileno rublje, kožne sandale, spolja Diznilend, iznutra Luvr, ljubavi su joj revolucije, raskidi su joj bitke kod Vaterloa. Sanjala je da živi u Parizu, ne slutivši da Pariz, već živi u njoj.”

“What is the call, so profound in your heart, that it pulls you out of your home, making you dance like a madman, tearing apart your robe? What is the song that comes to your heart when dawn surrenders to sunset? What is the poem that makes you awake, in the scent of autumn rain? What stillness lies in these, that unveils another world?”

“I can almost understand why people leap from bridges, Why they stand there, hearts heavy with fissures. In a world that screams and shouts, Yet never hears the whispers of despair that drown out. The weight of silence is a killer, A noose that tightens, makes the soul a thriller. On the edge, they see it all: The shattered dreams, the pain that stands so tall. What’s it like to feel so hollow, To search for hope in darkness, but only find sorrow? They look down at the water, reflecting a void, Each ripple a reminder of joy that’s been destroyed. In that split second, freedom feels so close, But the leap isn’t freedom, it’s an escape from the ghosts. A flight from the struggle, the hurt that won’t cease, A heart breaking open, longing for release. But oh, the stories left unsaid, The cries that echo in a mind full of dread. So many standing on that edge, feeling alone, Wishing for a bridge to carry them home.”
