Musical Memories: I've been Tagged

Loz started this meme called 'Musical Memories' which was then passed onto me by Wonder. This meme is about listing between 5 and 10 songs which have made an impact on my life. However, I'll simply twist it a little bit, and list the songs which have left and emotional impact on me somehow. So I thought I'd spice up my blog a little with this meme, thanks to Wonder!

So here we go:

#1 I hope you dance by Lee Ann Womack. It's one of these inspirational songs that always lights this little flame of hope within me when I feel down. A beautiful song.

#2 Who wants to live forever? by Queen. This particular song always leaves me in an emotional wreck. It reminds me of very close and beloved friends of mine, who live in a hopeless atmosphere of war and conflicts. The very title of this song is the exact words one of them once said to me, when speaking of the war situation in their country: 'Who wants to live forever?'. When death becomes less painful than life itself, we should reconsider appreciating life than claiming wars, only to destroy what's left of hope.

#3 Because you loved me by Celine Dion. It remain me of my wonderful mother. 'I'm everything I am' because of her.

#4 I will survive by Gloria Gaynor. Uplifting, inspirational and wise song, that reminds me of a friend who got divorced. A rare, special friend at heart. And she will survive. Yes, she will survive.

#5 Remember Me by Josh Groban. Beyond my words..

OK. I'm not going to tag specific people for this meme, but rather everyone who reads this post and who is interested and wants to join. This way anyone interested can join, so feel free to let me know if you're writing a post with this meme (in the comment section) so my readers and I get to read your version ;)

Happy writing!

Terrorist Defined


Terror as medicine
To cure terror as disease

Crime against crime
Tooth by tooth
Eye by eye
Break a leg, rip the skin
Drill holes in the heads
Easy! Shoot all dead!

Delighted by pain -
But not yours, only others;

Because
YOU'RE a terrorist

Mother has a fever

Cloudy Sunset

~ Mother has a fever ~

Mother has a fever
Her temperature's rising
Radiant warmth spreads across her body
Glaciers keep on melting;
Big Bear flees his home
Rivers evaporate
The sky keeps on crying
Floods of emotions, unexplained, silent
But, oh so clear!
Signs from heaven,
Storm after storm
To human; a tropical pleasure
Tanned bodies, eternal summer
So ignorant, yes, so ignorant
Is the child who plays loudly
Yet knowing that
Mother has a fever

With Love

Dear readers, I'd like to dedicate this poem to all of you.
Happy reading :)

Teenage girl, summer emotions

~ With Love ~

Love's not a rose or a diamond dear
Love's not a necklace or a teddy bear
Love's not an item to purchase and sell
Love's not a word you could simply yell
Love's not the landscape of romantic red
Love's not the tears you fakely shed
Love's not the arrow across the heart
Love's not some numbers on a fortune chart
Love's not a princess and her missing shoe
Love's not a letter with 'I love you'
Love is a treasure, a way of life
Love's all the years you shared with your wife
Love is a river, emotions that flow
Love's all the moments in life as we go
Love is a song, shared only between two
Love's all the memories, old and new
Love is the hug, the kiss on the cheek
Love's what relaxes, what makes you go weak
Love's a condition to treasure and hold
Love's all the things that I have just told

With love,

Reema

Photos: My Mum's Garden

So I finally got to take a shortwalk round my mum's garden, took the camera with me and captured these pictures. I really liked the first one, the close-up of the flower. So summer time!






Above Photo: OK. I've no idea what this is, it really looked like a flower, with no petals. Anybody knows what plant this is?

Above Photo: Early grapes, or baby grapes as I call them. Just had to capture a grape moment here ;)

Above Photo: And of course, followed with a grape-leaf moment too.
