جدران روحي

أرقع جدران روحي
بإبتسامة كاذبة
باهتة
لأخفي محيطات أحزاني
التي تدفق بعضها من عيناي
وقلبي ووجداني
ابتسم
لكي أحول ما تبقى لي من طاقة
من عيناي إلى فمي
أصرخ بكل صمتي
أمشي مع بقايا روحي
وأمضي
على هذا الأسى
عله يصبح ذاكرة
تلك الأنفاس الهامسة
تشير إلى عدم موتي
سامحني ايتها الحياة
ولكن لم أعد أطيقك
هذا إن طقتك يوماً
فانتي لم تعطيني ولو فرصة وحدة لكي أفعل

Stamp Collection

Yesterday I ran into this stamp album that I started as I was 10 and forgot it through the years . Here I am sharing it and now every time I will travel I will collect at least one stamp from the country visited.

Who am I ?

I stand speechless, trying to answer this question, and when words come to me, I find myself swept away by endless answers.



I am the one who makes people laugh to tears
and the same one who drown in her own tears at night

I am the one who might seem careless
and at instances becomes the fighter of them all

I am the one who was dead and
i am the one who was reborn more than a million times

I am the one who kneels and pray for god
and I am the atheist speaking blasphemous language

I am the one who is there for help
I am the person that needs help the most

I am the one who remains quiet
And also the one that has infinite inner conversations

Given this strange controversy,
I will be the same one who will correct the sins I have committed

Citizen Kane

  Movie Poster


In my opinion Citizen Kane is one of the best movies ever made. It won the academy award for the best writing and was nominated for nine others. Orson Wells succeeded in producing, co-writing , directing and acting a the same time. Citizen Kane is considered a "film a clef" since it camouflages the biography of wealthy William Randolph Hearst under the fictive character of Charles Foster Kane. 

  Movie Trailer


The two hours movie revolves around one single puzzling word muttered by Kane before his death: Rosebud. The enigma of the movie is concentrated in this puzzling word. Rosebud is considered by itself a quote and ranked as the 17th most memorable movie quote of all time by AFI (American Film  Institute).

The filming techniques are original given the era it was shot and the common techniques used back then. The scenery in the background, the use of flashback and flashforward, low angle shots, deep focus (every plane is in focus) amazingly constructed frames, shadows, use of unusual angles.... 

This scene is shot from the reflection of a broken glass


The movie influenced the culture in my aspects.Rosebud  was used in popular culture as an impact of this classical movie.
