“I'm an alien in my own world, a writer without words, a musician without a piano, a magician without a wand. I am fooled by infinite words that rush in my blood, yet imprisoned by the very thoughts of silence. I'm a gray green fallow leaf on trees and abandoned on the streets, a never-ending spring season and an eternal autumn. I'm the golden of the sun and the silver of the moon, the fog of dawn and the amber of dusk. I'm the white and the red flag , the obedient and the rebel. I am the coward in the brave, and the child in the man. I am, but a writer.”
Nema Al-Araby, Remnants and Ashes
“And the cobwebs of time
would surrender,
dormant, so that the rainbows
of new eras can emerge

Despite the hollowness
of you.”
Nema Al-Araby, Remnants and Ashes
“Ever, could I or could I not count the shadows of your being?”
Nema Al-Araby, Remnants and Ashes
“Silence always used to guide
A truth that could never be denied”

“Please don't question the insane glares
Just give me today,
And tomorrow,
Tomorrow
we will matter.”
Nema Al-Araby, Remnants and Ashes
“It's ridiculous to think that taking out words will heal hearts,
because a palm-sized box is just not enough for the anger of this world.”
Nema Al-Araby, Remnants and Ashes
“Hear the heartbeats of a nation
silenced together on the impatient
winds of change,
And deafen your ears to the words of
one. Melodized by emancipation..

Then open your eyes,
open your eyes for me:
Darling, freedom to you is
a freedom to none.”
Nema Al-Araby, Remnants and Ashes
