“The difference between you and daylight:
the sun disappears at nightfall.
When the sky wears twilight,
your luminous smile illuminates all.”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“I love you more than words can say. I love you more than what you can imagine. I love you more than what your senses can perceive. I love you more than all the mortals’ feelings, emotions, love, and passion combined. You became part of my blood cells’ contents. You became my white blood cells that protect me from getting sick. You became my blood plasma that I will die without. You became my red blood cells that I can’t breathe without. You became my heart, that through it, I can survive. You became my lungs, that without them, I would die. You became my brain that is the only hope for life if my heart stops functioning. You became my eyes that see you and were created only to see you. You became my limbs that I can’t do anything without. You became my nose that smells your musk, even if you are amid millions of mortals. You became my lips that touch your flesh and paint their signature on every inch of your body. I am your love who cannot live without you.”

“هدية عيد ميلادي

حبيبي، اليوم عيد ميلادي .
هل يمكنك تقديم نفسك لي
كأثمن هدية حقيقية
في عيد ميلادي؟

لا تأخذني إلى فرنسا
أو إلى أي أرض أخرى،
لا أريد كنوز من الذهب
أو الألماس.

أحب إرتداء يديك وذراعيك
حول جسدي
والتحديق في النجوم المتساقطة
من سماء عينيك”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“ستبقى قصة حبي التي أحياها
ويقتلني الشوق إليها و لا ألقاها”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“At night, I rest on my couch and look to the sky. If the sky knew how much I adore you, it would give up its moon and keep you as love’s beacon in the heart of the sky.

If the earth understood my love for you, it would stop spinning around itself and around the sun, and it would
start to spin around you and rotate around my heart. But I am sure God knew how I would love you; that is why He created you.”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“أتوق لرؤيتك حتى ولو بأحلامي
أشتاق لرؤيتك حتى من بعيد
حتى لو كنت في أعمق المحيطات
سألقي بنفسي في أحضان المياه
مستسلمة لقدري”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“My words plead with your kisses
to melt my frozen sorrows;
I have hardened.
كلماتي تتوسل إلى قبلاتك
لتذيب جليد أحزاني،
فقد تصلبت”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“أهم حقيقة هي أنك سلطة إغراء،
تسيطر على جميع قوانين العالم.”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“إن جيوشنا العربية أكاذيب تختبئ خلف الستارة٠٠٠
ان نضالنا كذب و إسلامنا كفر و عفافنا عهر وتقوانا قذاره
نحن شعوب لا نفرق بين الدين والسياسة والدعاره

The Arab armies are hid behind the curtain of lies.
Their struggles are lies, their Islam is false,
their morals are immoral, and their piety is dirty.
They are people who do not differentiate between
religion, politics, and prostitution.”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“Multiple lives would still be insufficient to show you, how much I love you.
How would you be duplicated to replace all men on earth?
Our breaths embraced.
The tears flowed admonished longings between our ribs.”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“Here I am offering my obedience between your hands, as I do every morning.
Here I am united with hell, here I am entering the stage of unconsciousness and delirium.
Here I am crucified on your chest, a thousand times, like Christ, I bled.”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“Involuntarily, I love him. I have a lust to
grind his ribs between my arms and devour him.
قسرأ أحبك،
تعتصرني شهوة لطحن ضلوعك بين ذراعي
وإلتهامك”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“أشتاق
عناقك لضلوعي بين ذراعيك
لمس جسدك، وإحتلال قدرك
لكن حبيبي
أخشى في تلك اللحظة أن تلتهمني
وأبقى ضائعة في أرض...
أفتقر فيها لكل شيء
وإليك٠”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“جمود المحبين يتكرر في يومي
يتفقون في الغايات...تفرقهم اللهجات
أمسيت مستودع ذكريات
فلننسط هنيهة حداداً على أرواح
الكرامة والأنوثة والأمنيات”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“تفاصيلك تبدو لك سخيفة

امورك الصغيرة٠٠٠ تمر بها يوميا ..
اجدها عظيمة٠٠٠اعظم من امنياتي
وكل تفاصيل حياتي

امورك تبدوا مكررة ٠٠مملة ٠٠وساعات مريرة
اعمل منها عروش٠٠واشيد عليها مملكة حبي
واحيا عليها طوال يومي

فحين تكتب على صفحتك يبتسم ثغري
وارجع طفلة صغيرة
وكلي امل ان تراني وترى زهوي
ألاحقك فرحة كصبية معجبة
خيوط كتاباتك
تنشرها في كل مكان
الا مكاني
وتقيم مملكتك في كل مكان
الا مكاني
وما تلبث ان تطير
كطير طليق اسير
وانا اتابع تفاصيلك
اتجمد في صقيع وحدتي
وانفرادي
وانت وتفاصيلك السخيفة
كل حياتي”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“لوالسماء تعلم كم أعشقك،
لتخلت عن قمرها واستبدلتك به كمنارة حب في قلب السماء

لو لأرض تفهم حبي لك، لتوقفت عن الدوران حول نفسها وحول الشمس،
ولشرعت بلدوران حولك وحول قلبي”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“God has created you just to be loved”
Amany Al-Hallaq, Between Your Ribs: Love Poems
“إن الحقيقة تتضح عندما يتعلم الإنسان الشك ويبدأ بطرح الأسئلة -- وخصوصاً الشك فى معتقداته الدينية والبديهيات والأمور التي يؤمن بها ويُقدسها٠ لا وجود للفضيلة والإيمان الحق مالم يتجه العقل إلى فحص نفسه٠”
