She...Phalestine


She turned the corner running, her pain mobilising her feet and making her forget her lost energy from destruction. Barely touching the rivers and puddles of the drowning city floors, she ran to escape the pooling floods, the drastic wetness and cold inside her that threatened to drown her any second. Her mind trying to escape the electric attitude of the rain, heart drops instead of tears, the thunder of measuring loss tore through her soul. A force field to absorb the delicate smashing attack of the storm as a part of her own thoughts, where every piece of increasing mistake soaked into the wavelength of a nightmare noise that kept possessing her extremities, her past, present and trembling future as they all fell to be engulfed by the old rattling drains that connected the ground with the underground and what was decomposing in between. She felt weak. Her legs continued to drag under the broken umbrellas of sheltering bodies. She had no cover, the lonely one in the crowd, the only one in the screaming silence, attacked by the clouds, dark and heavy with letting go. Falling, it seemed like everything was falling on her, like everything was falling for her, to run away from. Things had risen way above their threshold. She was intimidated by herself and her mind. Everything was too powerful to contain. Everything was beyond controlling now, like the way no one could control the battle against the city, no one could control the rain, no one could control the saturation of disaster.

What it is...

I see Life like a rose in the ice... beautiful but with cold settings - There are so many incredible things out there - but we always need to fight and perservere against the hardships too... otherwise the cold will win ... and we will wither away.

My imagination has led me to believe in something called 'Sudan Fairytale' -
The fantasy that My country will one day be independant and proud, never selfsish to provide its people with its needs, give freedom and success to all, be forever committed to achieve a prosperous inhabitance to every Sudanese in their own country-

My eyes fail me and I see the truth which I call - 'Khartoum Heartbreak' - This is a theme running through the blog under the 'Khartoum Heartbreak' Poems and whatever else about Sudan conveying broken down love, poor streets and cut off electricity along with a lot of other decays and problems in Khartoum city Life.

But I love my country and so I have no choice but to merge the Pain and the Love as one.

Faith is my heart and I could never do without it hoping in my prayers that I can be someone better always and that God forgives me as I fall in Mistakes through that frozen path of Life...

Sometimes I feel under control with all the too many emotions that run to colour my days and nights - Books, movies, music, dreams, friends, family, strangers, travel, - reality - the 10 O' Clock news -Most of the time I'm very Lost in trying to understand - whatever happens becomes tangled into writing this confusing memoir -

It's a really odd combination of air - not sure whether it is refreshing or suffocating - stabilising or maddening - But I breathe and
so it is
'Memoirs of a Sudanese breath' as I am 'Lost but under control' -
