turning fans

again...the pain of two dream
the one with unlimited light, dance and eyes
and the one where  the sound of a fan calms me and soothes me and respects me

i respect myself

again the pain of two fantasies
the one with fame
and the one with tame
the one with glitter
and the one where a small lamp for a baby's room flickers

it is warm
it is sudan and it is beautful
the faint whisper of a turning fan , a soothing air con
a flickering bathroom light
cotton night dresses and the paints of henna flowers sleeping
to look bright again for a new day
the scent of tradition
musk at dusk and coats a soft body
pillows with feathers and not factory

I love the sound of fans at night through the night
the rythmical wave of air making peace
with your body
cooling your fate
changing your time of seconds and hours of ...another night
but every night is special
if youl isten to the sound of a fan
beating , in the backround of love
and still water
in glasses
waiting to be used
until then their slim meniscus chills to the circles of sleep
snooze buttons wait too
and tv's watch amidst the led red of  off
wait
wait

I love the sound of a turning fan at night
it makes me feel calm and soothed with reality of rythym and quest to find that room of calmness within me
that only has a turning fan of calm

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' -
