EXCERPT POETRY_1

*Nizar Qabbani*

My lover asks me:

What is the difference between me and the sky?

The difference, my love, Is that when you laugh,

I forget about the sky.

*Mahmoud Darwish*

How do I say I miss you in a way that makes your heart ache 

as mine does?

*Japanese saying*

Every man has 3 hearts, one in his mouth for the world to know.

Another in his chest, just for his friends.

And a secret heart, buried deep where no one can find it.
