Pieces of me 19- a hopeful twist

The 5 year title 2026 – A hopeful twist 

A lovely person, with a great attitude. Having a great job, truly fulfilled but also being a dedicated mother and wife. A writer. A cook. A traveller. A collector of beautiful things. A supporter not a leader for my family. A person they can count on and that they can love. I want to find health and wealth first in my mind and then in heart followed by money. I wish no drama. I wish actually the mundane, the normal. A life of no drama with simplicity is lovely. The mundanity of excellence. Yes. I wish lots of books. Lots of magazines. Lots of podcasts and hot coffee. And of course mint tea. Going with my family to ramadans in Egypt and then the madina and then hajj. Musalsals. Being a tv fan, a shahid fan, a now fan, a Netflix fan. Having good eyes only. Ramadan in Khartoum with my lovely family. Maybe a new house, maybe not. But wherever I am I want to be never complacent. Never in turmoil and never out of love. Most importantly I want my husband. Who I love very very much and desire to have forever. I find lust and trust in him. I find honesty and calm. I find love and happiness. I find a deep connection. I find friendship and joy. I find connections that meet like jigsaws. I find understanding. He is like a book of breath to me. One that I need and strive to have. Because of him, I try. Because of my family, I live. Because of me, I wake up.

Pieces of me 16- very close forever

I wish we can be very close forever
Not losing pace 
 Not losing fight
Not losing plight of our aims and mission
Not losing effort
Doing things like you feel true about it

Pieces of me 11- the red cup

Of tea sits from the morning
If I hadn’t saved the fruit salad it would be in the same fate
So if we’re in a new life with new ways 
Why keep old ways

New ways are here
So cups should not sit and fruit salads will never be made again 


Pieces of me 10- the mistake

To cry over the wrong things
To say the wrong things
To feel the wrong things
To want the wrong things

To pray I could take them back
Nothing can be taken back 
Nothing can move back 
Only forwards
It was mistake when I never believed
All good things do come to an end
It was a mistake
To forget my life and how it works
To forget that finding happiness is  in my hand
It was a mistake
To have high expectations
Yes
That was the biggest mistake
To have high expectations
It was a mistake to stop asking
What if I never found out?




Pieces of me 9- the decision

Is to write write
Write and write
It’s the only way to heal
Paper can’t shout 
Paper can’t misunderstand
paper can’t shut
Paper is white
Paper is truth 

Beliefs must stay core
Good things must stay core

Good things I have control over 
Like listening to podcasts music series and radio
Like writing about love
Like being at peace with my beautiful children
Like finding allah for I have lost him 
Like finding myself
Like being nice to myself
Like believing in myself 
Like never confusing strength with anything else

I will no longer turn to disappointment
No longer turn to fear
No longer turn to threats
And no longer turn to expectation

I will not lie
I am very hurt
I am very angry
I am very disappointed
I am very discouraged
I am scared

But like a cancer diagnosis or like an ill heart
Or like any other disease
It must be faced full on and the treatment found
And even in the bad cases
When treatment fails 
People still try 
Before it’s all over
They still try

Pieces of me 8 - I came here

To be happy 
I came here to be loved
I came here to be attached 
I came here to be light
I came here with dreams
I came here with hopes 
I came here with a vision 
I came here with excitement 
I came here with defiance
I came here for completion 
I came here with things
I came here with nice things
I came here to find myself
And my family to reconnect
I came here for connection
I came here for love
I came here so I wouldn’t be alone

A lot of these things happened
But for a small amount of time
A very small amount of time
And then none of these happened
And life became sour
Became 
Quiet
Khartoum heartbreak at its best
01.01 am here in the desert with stings if all kind
For the balcony cools the mosquitos and invites them to bite my open heart 
That admits defeat
That admits sorrow 
That admits shock
And the biggest sadness
Loss
The stings are numerous
But I give my body to the malarial insight of a broken relationship 
For imagine!
Distance had hidden us into lies!
And the power of similar numbers but with one different at the end 
Tore us apart
I feel like I’m at the farthest location on earth 
The tents of the deepest Persian mountains 
Or maybe the smallest town on earth 
Or maybe the most silent

I ask myself
What is mOre important to me 
My health and happiness my smartness my goodness or something else? 


Pieces of me 7- the secret mirror

Innocent means that you did not commit the crime. Not Guilty means that there was not sufficient evidence to determine that you did commit the crime. 

In my life 
There is a secret mirror
Where secrets come out
Like a flinging snake coming out of fire
Burning and stinging in the storm
I am innocent
But the secret mirror showed bluntness 
Twirling tables and twisted thoughts 
Maybe for both of us 
I don’t know 
But I do know I am innocent
Does the secret mirror know? 
Itsreflection is not of the things u see
Or the things you know
It’s secret is in its secret
It’s unknown words
And it’s unknown goal
It’s unknown action
What’s it doing? 
Is it a good mirror or is it a bad mirror?

I don’t know 
But I do think it’s honest
Whatever comes out might not be it’s fault 

But Then I understood it’s meant to protect me 
Or is it just meant to protect the truth
For the first time in my life I understand what I feel like for a person being given told the verdict they’re guilty when they’re innocent 
How it must feel 
The pain 
The pain
Of being jailed when you should be free
When you have to suffer because you were so pure


Pieces of me 6- the woman with renal failure

Before she died one day said to me 
Once upon a time I had the best life in the world
I was the happiest woman in the world
But then terrible things happened to her 
Things that are too painful to write
For me
Too terrible to think of 
Too terrible to imagine how she must have felt
Except her kidneys failing 
Except her life never as she imagined
Except how she had to accept the screams and the illnesses not just to her but to her whole family
Who are now in different corners of infinity
Held only by memory and history
That one day 
Far away 
There was a family that was actually really really happy but they no longer exist

Dear blog
My heart aches for how my life is going
And I am so scared
I know that I have to be strong and powerful and show my muscles
But my muscles are only weak and frail 
And my despair is suffocating
My gashes are now large
And my fears are now rampant
Eating me alive 

Until maybe the kidneys or the heart or other organs will be gone 

Pieces of me 5- doing everything u said u wudnt do

It’s interesting
You said you had a belief that you cannot make someone want or love u 
What happened to that 
Dont you know anything about love
Dont you have any characteristics to show for how much you love love? 

Pieces of me 4... the lost picture

Let me take you through a journey
From all the away across the seas in front of a camera in the middle of a faraway land
I stood and smiled 
Alone at the time but maybe not quite
For little miracles where happening and the picture stood still
Of my face
Little did I know what that picture would mean 
The meaning of the end of something that has happened and no more is it happening now
And then the picture flew back with me and went to others moving into them and their hearts
And their phones too
Meaning a lot and being there for Avery long time
Until one day
The picture got lost and was erased
By the future 
For no picture can stand such turmoil
No happy smile can stand such sorrow
No shiny but simple necklace can be beautiful purchased from Khartoum worn in San Antonio  taken around in the pockets everywhere and finally thrown to the rubbish of bitterness

It deletes itself 
Shadows away like those pictures they put of dead people and they right the years of living and dying
That is what that picture stands for
When I took it
Living and dying

It’s just so sad

That we would have to go through this
All because of a phd and some extra weight
The cost of being a good person
It’s just so sad that we would have to go through this
Dark words and all
Unspoken drama or the uncensored flurry of meanness evilness 
It’s just so sad that we would have to go through this 
I thought my life was zuzu and rainbows
And a bit of hot fries in subsaharan Africa
And maybe cold 7up to quench the excitement that has now turned to pain
It’s just so sad
We are filled with remorse and anger hate towards each other and so much trepidation 
So much uncertainty 
What’s the probability that it’s all right or it’s All wrong? 
Well at the moment it’s. a significant vLue that it’s all just a fundamental flaw
One letting me not want to repeat the excitement for it just brings the same null results
It’s just so sad that we have to go through this
All because of a phd and some extra weight

Pieces of me 3... Eman and Ahmed

Strangely , I am content
For I know my ground and my ambiance
Yes
I am heartbroken destructed at how a second moment lingers the destruction of a beautiful day
Like a summer breeze
Bombed with the shelling of war
But I have Eman and Ahmed
My beautiful 
I could never love someone more
He follows me he trusts me fully he needs me 
He wants me as just me with no judgement
Isn’t that beautiful? 
And his sweet little hand fits my tears 
And his silent breath holds mine accountable
And his beautiful lips shine my journey
As for Eman
She is really a wonder
A difficult divine prosperous creature asking for everything at the same time
Her heart soft but her words tough
Just like me
Boy is she like me
Like a thunder in the darkness she is my light
And like the rock in the storm I cling onto her
Her eyes needing me in all her might
She is just a little little thing
Even though her voice is wow! 
And her mind is ... mysterious
She is mine and I want her just like she is 
She is the princess of strength the princess of questions 
The princess of my heart and soul
I ask she forgives me one day for all my madness 
All my inequalities 
I ask they both never stop loving me 
I hope they love me with purity
With true true true true love
The kind that you can trust blindly
I wish they hold me tight and warm me
I ask they get smart and clear and confident and most importantly
I beg they love each other more than anything and that they support one another
Because they have each other 
2 amazing souls


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' -
