For me, it is the most taboo subject. I abhor the idea of child marriages and it is one of the worst types of abuse. But last night, in my dreams I was a man. Perhaps in my twenties. I dreamt I was a man, betrothed to a very young girl, promising not t…

Absurd In dreams that you walk in And lift your dishdasha And wiggle your erect penis In jest Not noting the other people in the room – Then I see my profile in red and As I turned my eyes to look at myself The whites remind me Of a frightened ho…

After last night’s amorous tussle, it was hard waking up this morning to shop for lunch. I had recurrent dreams of having done the shopping and saw myself in the kitchen preparing the food. My goodness all those knives! And the maid was making ha…

Five years of blogging and I haven’t earned a fils, a penny, or anything remotely resembling monetary compensation. Should only smart bloggers who have lucrative blogs reign over us non-committed, non-partisan, non-anythings? I stand alone on a l…

I float around my home and it is full of the spirits of different people; some are strangers, some are known; some are family.
There is a camera crew and they are filming. It looks like one of those Zain advertisements.
I am fuming.
Everyone is tresspassing. It’s my home.
“What are you doing here?”  I keep [...]

My heart flutters. My heart flutters like it’s got its own pair of Nutmeg Moth’s marbled wings – stuck in a rib-cage and it’s ready for takeoff. That’s how you make me feel. That’s how every single one of your BBM’s renders me; excited…

The second star to the right
Shines in the night for you
To tell you that the dreams you plan
Really can come true
The second star to the right
Shines with a light that’s rare
And if it’s Never Land you need
Its light will lead you there It kil…

Note: It’s done! I’m done! No more writing, yay! *stretches achy fingers* haha no I kid. I might come up with another new idea. Who knows? Anyway, enjoy! :* I was sitting on a rickety wooden bridge over a glistening river, betwee…

Note/Warning: Coming to an end. I couldn’t stand to look at my reflection in the mirror. I could see her, anytime I managed to doze off, which was becoming exceedingly more difficult with every passing day. I dreamt of taking her hand …

We arrive at the hotel and enter the lobby. Faisal goes to the front desk and does all the procedures that are needed to be done for us to get our room. That short Italian was taking our luggage out of the trunk of the car and the bellboy was haul…

I’ve always wanted to go to Milan, but I think I packed too much for just a trip to Milan. I blame Faisal because he told me to pack a lot without telling me where. At least I won’t have a shortage of clothing! We’ve spent the morning saying…

“So what’s the surprise?” I ask, just in case I might get an answer. It doesn’t hurt to try. “I’m still not going to tell you yal f’6ooleya” he says with a hint of a smile playing on his lips. “Fine, don’t.” Without saying a w…

We were walking to our room with my entourage following. He smiles that little secret smile of his and my heart starts to beat faster. They’re all talking about how fantastic the night was, and how mashalla it went perfectly. I can hear the excit…
