a night visitor


غرفتها_nezar qabany


في الحُجْرَة الزَرْقَاءِ .. أحيا أنا
بَعْدَكِ ، يا أُخْتُ ، أَصَليّ الرياشْ
وفيه بَرْعَمْنَا الحريرَ افتراشْ
ليلاتِ ذَرْذَرْنا تشاويقَنا
وثَدْيُكِ الفُلِّيُّ .. كَوْمَ سَنَا
يُغْمَى على البياض منهُ القماشْ
شقراءُ .. لا أَعْدَمُهَا لَثْغةً
يعيا بها ثغرُكِ عند النقاشْ
ومَنْ على الألوانِ والظلِّ عاشْ؟
ففيه من طيبكِ بعضُ الرشاشْ
وهاهُنا رسالةٌ .. نثرُك الغالي بها
أَعَزُّ ما خلّفتِ لي خُصْلةٌ
حبيبةٌ ، تهتزُّ فوقَ الفِراشْ
تهفو إلى منبتها في ارتعاشْ
شقراءُ .. يا فَرْحةَ عشرِيننا
شقراءُ .. يا يوماً على المنحنى
طاش به ثغري .. وثغرُكِ طاشْ
وفوقنا للياسمينِ اعتراشْ
ونشربُ الليلَ ، صدى مَيْجَنا
قُولي .. ألا يُغريكِ لونُ الدُنَا
بالعَوْد .. فالطيرُ أتتْ للعِشَاشْ
شقراءُ .. يا فَرْحةَ عشرِيننا
ونَكْهَةَ الزِقّ .. وهَزْجَ الفَراشْ
شقراءُ .. يا يوماً على المنحنى
طاش به ثغري .. وثغرُكِ طاشْ
نمشي فيندي العُشْبُ من تحتِنا
وفوقنا للياسمينِ اعتراشْ
ونشربُ الليلَ ، صدى مَيْجَنا
وصوتَ أجراسٍ .. وعَوْدَ مَوَاشْ
قُولي .. ألا يُغريكِ لونُ الدُنَا
بالعَوْد .. فالطيرُ أتتْ للعِشَاشْ

ثورة الصمت ( من كلماتي)

" حين يغدو الصمت لغة الحوار, لا جدوي من البقاء "

تباعدنا..
وصمت نداء الشوق في دمنا
تباعدنا..
ومات الحب في قلبينا واعيننا
غاب شئ كان دوما بداخلنا
ضاع صوت في الاصداء كان يجمعنا
ينادينا ..يناشدنا
بأن نرجع..
مات فينا..
اضعناه بأيدينا
هلا نمضي..
فقد وأدنا الصوت في فمنا
تباعدنا
فدعنا نمضي في تنائينا
***
دعنا نحطم قيد التشبث وأنانية البقاء
فنحاول أن نفترق _ بتحضر_ كأصدقاء
ما جدوي استمرارنا؟
احساسي أجوف وعيونك خرساء
لما نبقي وقلبي فاقد ذاكرته معك
وحجرية نظرتك للأشياء
لنفترق..
فليس يجمعنا سوي الصمت,
و أربعة جدران صماء.

عشق الطاووس (من كلماتي)


لن أبقى في قبضة أهوائك تتنازعني أقدار الرحيل أو البقاء.مثل ريشة في مهب ريح هوجاء.. تحملها أعلى قمم الأمل, ثم تهوي بها إلي سفوح الخيبة واليأس.القلب الهاجع في صدري يسبح في نهر الوهم, قد هب من غفلة أحلامه ليواجه إعصار غرورك يسحق داخله زهرة أمانيه . يوما ما ..كان غاية أملي أن أوقد عمري شموعا في طريقك, أن أنسى العالم على أبوابك, ويترهبن قلبي في محراب هواك فأجد في عينيك جنتي.

لكني أدركت انك لا تحتاج لحبي ولا تحتاج أحد. فأنت لا تحب إلا نفسك لا تعشق سوى إرضائها ولا ترى في الكون سواها.

طاووس يختال بجماله .. هذا هو أنت عاشق لذاتك, وفيما عداها أنت تمتلك لا تحب. وأنا لن أدرج قلبي في قائمة أملاكك, وليس من آمالي أن تسبي مشاعري جوار يمتعن نرجسيتك.

أنت لا تعرف كيف تحب لأنك لا تعرف ما هو الحب.

الحب أن تعطي, أن تمنح من عواطفك وقلبك, وحتى من نفسك.. أن تتلاشى فيمن تحب, تتوحد معه وتصبح جزءا منه, ذائبا في كيانه.. أن يغدو كل منكما هو الآخر لا يملكه ولكن يحتويه ويحتضن روحه ويلتحم بها.تحبه هو.. ثم تحب ذاتك لأنها تحبه , وتحب الكون من خلاله..أما ما تفعله أنت تحت راية الحب فهو احتكار للنفس وللإحساس, احتلال للروح والجسد.أنت تهيمن.. تطغى .. تعربد بسلطان حبي علي ..
ما تدعوه أنت حب اسميه أنا استعباد, أصنفه جريمة.
فيا أيها الطاووسي المشاعر..
في لعبتك المجنونة أنت تخسر ,فمن راهنت على بقائها في نير هواك نزعت عن عمرها ربقة حبك, أطلقت أحلامها من سجن إرضائك.انه أقسى مما احتمل أن يتحول أجمل إحساس عايشته إلي تحفة في خزانة مقتنياتك,و يؤول غرامي لزهرة تنبت من رماد غرورك أنت لا تستحق أن يحبك أحد.. يكفيك حبك لذاتك, لا تحتاج لعرش قلب تعتليه .. لديك عرش نفسك..فهم بوجهك في مرآتك أيها النرجسي.

محاولة أخيرة (من كلماتي)


سأحاول.. لمرة واحدة, أخيرة..
أن أحيا دونك.
أن أجرب كيف ستمضي أيامي إذا انفرطت من بين يديك, وماذا سيحدث لي لو سرت يوما تحت المطر دون أن يغطيني معطفك, أو أضجعت ليلة بغير أن أتوسد ذراعك وتغفو أحلامي علي صدرك.

وهل ـ إذا ما تركت كفك ـ تراني سأجد طريق داري , أو أستطيع عبور الدرب وحدي ؟
أريد أن اعرف كيف يكون إحساسي لو انحلت الخيوط التي تربط قلبي بقلبك , وحياتي بحياتك, ووجودي بوجودك.
لمرة واحدة , أخيرة…. أحاول.
بعدما باءت صراعاتي السابقة بالهزيمة .. وعدت يسوقني الحنين إليك, و يجرجرني الاشتياق ليلقي بي في أحضانك ,لتتسلم مجددا زمام أمري.فاعترف بيني وبين نفسي أني اضعف من تنفيذ قرار البعد , وأنني لا أقوى على احتمال ألم الانفصال عنك وقد أصبحت بين الروح والدم.
هذا العشق ألغى الخطوط الفاصلة بيني وبينك, فأصبحت امتداد لك, يأتمر بأمرك, يصدع لإرادتك .. كيدك .. كأصابعك. كيف يمكن في حالة كهذه أن أنقذ نفسي من ديكتاتورية وجودك؟
وبأي طريقة أستطيع مقاومة طغيان أفكارك؟
جربت مرارا التمرد عليك, والعناد مع رغباتك. حرضت قلبي على رفض الإذعان لولهه المجنون بك.. أزكيت بداخلي نيران الثورة على خنوعي لك ,
حاولت .. حاولت كثيرا أن أمارس ولو قدرا ضئيلا من الاحتجاج والتحدي لإرادتك. لكني كنت دائما افشل.
الآن أنا مضطرة لخوض هذه المعركة .. معركة ليست معك, وإنما مع نفسي, علني اقدر على كسر الحلقة المغلقة حولي, فاخرج من نطاق جاذبيتك.. وأجد ذاتي التي تصل لحد انعدام الوزن أمام حضورك الطاغي.
أنا لست رافضة حبي لك, أنا أرفض أن أحبك لحد الضياع فيك, والاستحالة لظلال خافتة تتبعك..
أريد أن احبك وأنا حرة قوية ...أملك ذاتي..لا مجرد كوكب يدور في فلكك
كل ما أتمناه لهذا العشق ان يبقي اختياري الحر .. وأن تظل العودة اليك قرار وليس فعل لا ارادي
من أجل هذا ..أنا في حاجة لمحاولة ابتعاد اخيرة
فقط لازداد من نفسي اقترابا.

كالأمواج (من كلماتي)



كالأمواج تأتين ..
بارتواء الشوق, بانطفاء اضطرام اللهفة , ببراء حرقة الروح و جوى التياعها.. تهلين كميلاد بدر في ليلة ظلمة, كنغم السواقي في الحقول الظمأى, وخرير الجداول وموسيقى الينابيع فوق جبال تجلدها سياط الشمس..

مثل شلال ضوء معطر تذوبين أوجاع النوى بلمسة باردة على الرمال المتقدة .بنسمة ندية تمس جمر لافح و جراح مثخنة.
على شطآني ترسين لجة من لجين وأريج والق لآلئ .. تلملمين شعرك اللامحدود المسافر مع امتداد البحر حتى الآفاق .. تسحبين ذراعين من الزبد الفضي, ويلمع كتفان كنصفي قمر يشقان صفحة الماء المتراقصة. تتركين لليم بعضا من عمق عينيك , ويترك على جسدك الوضاء ادمعه تتساقط ماسا ولؤلؤا وبراعم زهر.

تحت قدميك يندهش الشط .. كيف لانهمار النجوم أن يخمد احتدام النار؟
وكيف لظلك المياس أن يتخذ في كل لحظة شكلا جديدا مبهرا.. فهو غصن مثقلا بوروده , يتأود منتشيا برونقه وبهاء سحره, وهو غزال يتهادى مفتونا برشاقته ورهافة قده, وهو طاووس يسير بخيلاء ملكا في موكب تتويجه.
تميلين بوجهك نحو السماء وكأنك تستقبلين إلهامك.ترفعين ذراعين كأعناق البجع, وتندس أصابعك شموع صغيرة بيضاء بين غدائر الشعر الممشوق الظلال.. شعر غيور يحتضن جسدك باشتهاء وتملك.. يخفيه وكأنه يحميه حتى من عيونك.
فيغدو خيالك فوق رمالي رسوما بالفحم لطير في لحظة إقلاع , لزهرة توشك أن تنفلت من أكمامها وتحرر فراشة, ومهر مختال يرفع للعنان رأسه ويصهل.
بعبير البحر.. بوله المسافات, بوجد الرحيل وحنين السفر..تنسابين إلى,تقتربين..تنطلق في إثرك السحائب, تتبعك النوارس, وتسترق شذاك النسائم تحملها كهمس الحوريات , تمور الصخور تحت وقع خطاك وتتسابق الرمال الشبقة
محمومة لاحتواء قدميك وتسلق ساقين هما جدولان من بريق قمري.
تمضين فتصرع الرمال الولهى وتتناثر في دربك قتلى بغير دية بغير قصاص.. تأتين فتصرعين غضبي عليك بسلام أسكره الدلال أنا المنتظر الدائم على صخر الموعد ,والشاطئ الذي يحيي برجاء إيابك , تقبلين جبيني فتتفتت ثورتي كقصور رمل يمسها الموج فتخر ذائبة ..تحتوينني وكأنني أنا المسافر وأنت الوطن

دلال


السعادة

عندما تغلق السعادة باباً ينفتح باب آخر .. ولكننا ننظر طويلاً إلى الباب المغلق وننسى أن باباً آخر قد إنفتح ..

Drawn, being stretched by his ankles and wrists and then having his insides shown to him before he died. Then Quartered, he was beheaded and his head was put on the London Bridge his body was torn into for pieces one sent to each corner of Britain as a warning to the citizens. After Wallace's death we see Robert the Bruce led the battle of Bannockburn the last battle for Scotland's freedom. [Editors note] Original writing by poster stated that Wallace went against "The British". This is factually incorrect as the term "British" refers to the people of the Island Britain. Scotland is the northern half of Britain with England and Wales sharing the lower half. I have changed this accordingly to reflect that Wallace and Scotland were at war with England or more factually correct, the English crown.
