My weblog is all about me and my dreams, basically it is my visual dream diary
The Look by Maryam Yahiaoui-Doktor (31/7/1992)
He told her one night, he was leaving her.
He said his goodbye and picked up his lot.
As he stepped out of the door she looked at him.
She asked him for a kiss with the look in her eyes.
He looked back, but missed her look.
He walked on getting further from her.
She asked him to kiss her with the look in her eyes.
He still walked on further…
She asked him to kiss her with the look in her eyes.
She asked him to kiss her with the look in her eyes
The Brick Sentries by Maryam Yahiaoui-Doktor (3/4/1995)
The great waves came crashing in, on the castle walls.
With the years of wear and tear, water seeped through from the sea
The repaired and re-repaired foundations shook
She, who lived and ruled there alone, worried
Long ago she’d ordered the thick walls to be built, but now they were giving
They had shook before, but she had them rebuilt, to experience no more hurt.
She had trusted them, they had worked
This latest storm was sudden, though.
Was it because she had peered over the top of the wall and wondered about the days without them?
The risk of it hadn’t came to her mind then
Oh, what was she to do?
It was best to just live as usual and hope for the best.
The storm picked up over night.
The sea hurled water up far beyond the castle walls.
On its way down, the flood washed away the ruins.
In the morning she woke up to fond the walls gone, with the calmest looking sea around it.
Her mind pointed to the ripples, panicking about pain
But her heart sat coolly in its realm and smiled at her man who wanted walls around his domain.
“No need! She shouted through life’s noises.”
مدتها پیش با دوستی عزیز و شاعر مسلک قرار گذاشتیم که با همکاری هم مجموعه کاری از آثاریکدیگر کار کنیم و به چاپ برسانیم. کار را پیش بردیم اما هنوز فر صت اینکه برای نا شران سختگیر فرستاده شود یافت می نشده است!!!من همچنان امیدوارم و می دانم که روزی این اتفاق خواهد افتاد. اشعار مریم بسیار عاشقانه و احساساتی و زیبا هستند در عین حال از تصویرسازیهای خودم هم راضی هستم که تصمیم گرفتم قضاوت اصلی را ابتدا به شما بسپارم…لطفا با نظرات صادقانه خود ما را یاری کنید
برای خواندن اشعار و نوشته های مریم به وب سایتش سر بزنید: نوشتهای اوتحت نام مایا می باشد

A while ago my dream friend Maryam and I decided to form a collaboration with our *artistic* talents!! she is quite a sentimental poet and I am a humble illustrator. We have made a small book poetry on love and still haven’t had the chance to send it off to the infamously strict publishers around town. I know in my heart of hearts that this project will kick off some day (most probably when we tucked up enough courage to send it off).
To be honest I am quite happy with what we have came up with however it’s best if you could let us know what you think.
For more information on Maryam’s poetry and other writings please go to the link above and read her stuff under *Maya*.
In my next posts I will be up loading samples of our collaboration please watch this space.
مدتی است که مطلب جدیدی ننوشته ام…دوست دارم بنویسم اما گاهی از کلمات خالی هستم…افکار جوراجور دارم و دائم به یک گفتگو درونی مشغولم اما زمان نوشتن که می رسد ذهنم خشک می شود!!!به وبلاگهای مورد علاقه ام سر می زنم و آنها هم این روزها با تاخیر می نویسند و دوستی به جای هر کلامی یک شعر گذاشته و من هم به دنباله روی از او همین کار را خواهم کرد که گاهی شعر بهترین نوع بیان احساسات است. بخشی از شعری را می نویسم ازاحمد شاملو
قفس
قفس این قفس این قفس
پرنده
در خواب اش از یاد می برد
من اما در خواب می بینمش
که خود
به بیداری
نقشی به کمال ام
…از قفس
It’s been a while since I wrote here…I like to write and be read but some times finding a subject troubles me. There are no words for me to express how I feel.
Just had a quick look at the other blogs I check regularly and found out they are up dating on a slow pace as well.A dear friend of mine has chosen to print a poem instead of writing about her own feelings/thoughts. I decided to do the same however the peom is in Farsi and it is not possible for me to translate it but if you are interested you can check the poet’s official web site with some translations. Sadly the poem above is not to be found on the web site.I have chosen a poem by Mr Ahmad Shamlu one our most famous contemporary poets who passed away in year 2000.
طبق قراری که با دوست جون جونی ام گذاشتیم هر هفته سه طرح برای دل خودمون می زنیم تا به این تنبلی و بی هدفی مزمن که گریبانگیر ما شده در دیار غربت بایان بدهیم. قرارمون خوب بیش می ره و هر هفته با هم طرح رد و بدل می کنیم و اینبار تصمیم گرفتیم که هر ماه یک کار را برای نمایش در بلاگمون درنظر بگیریم تا دوستان هم نظر بدهند. طرحی که در بائین آمده کار انتخابی من است برای این ماه. در مورد خوابی است که چندی بیش دیدم…فکر می کنم موضوع خواب واضح باشد. شما چه فکر می کنید؟ آیا کسی تعبیر خواب بلده؟ به من کمک کنید!!! راستی برای دیدن کارهای دوستم به بلاگش سر بزنید

My best friend and I have decided to exchange 3 drawings per week and our new thing is to choose one drawing a month to appear on our weblogs. In the hope of our blog readers would participate and let us know what they think.
If you would like to see my friend’s drawings please follow the link below:
And here is my drawing of the month…its about a dream, I had a while ago…I guess the content of the dream is quite obvious. By the way does any one knows how to interpret dreams? I need help in this field.
این روزها بیشتر وقتی که در اینترنت صرف میکنم برای خواندن بلاگهای جذاب ایرانی است. برایم به شدت جذاب است…نوع نوشتنشان در واقع از جنس گپ زدنهای دوستانه است و من در این مدت کم حس می کنم با کلی آدم جدید دوست شده ام و گاهی با شوق براشون پیغام می گزارم و کمی بعدتر به خودم می آیم *که چی؟حالا حس برت داشته؟این حس آشنائی تو کاملا یک طرفه است* و مسیر ذهنم تغییر می کند و یاد عشقهای آتشین دوران نوجوانی می افتم که خیلی بسیار زیاد یک طرفه بودند!!! حس جالبی نبود و نیست انگار که آدم همیشه در انتظار یک معجزه است و ته قلبت می دانی که مضبوهانه است اما اصرار داری که به ندای ته قلبت فکر نکنی. عجیبه نه؟ حالا دوستیهای مجازی جای عشقهای خیالی را گرفته. با خواندن اعترافات دربلاگ آقای نیستانی بشدت تحت تاثیر قرار گرفتم به حدی که از تصویر معشوق تازه ایشان طرحی زدم که برایم یادآور روزهای گذشته است
These days I spend a lot of time on the net reading the quite interesting Iranian blogs. Most of them are written in a very simple style almost as intimate as the way we write or speak to our close friends. After a while I feel like I know these people and count them as my friends. Have to admit that sometimes I get carried away and leave them a heartfelt comment. They never get back to me because they don’t know me!!! And they are used to/fed up with nonsense comments from strangers.I just caught myself thinking about these people and the one way relationship we are forming! These thoughts reminded me of my early teenage crushes on much older guys…and my desperation for their attention/affection.No doubt that these virtual friendships are as bizarre as those teenage crushes. But still they mean something to me…I really enjoy reading them. They make my day in the most strange way!!!
Several days ago I read a confession about a new found love on Mr. Neyestani’s blog (www.sainttouka.blogfa.com). There was a picture of his new beloved and I couldn’t help myself, had to make a sketch…she is so beautiful.
امروز با حس خوبی از خواب بیدار شدم گر چه که خوابهای خوبی نمی دیدم اما دیدم به دنیا کمی خوشبینانه تر است. برای همین کاری را که به نمایش می گذارم سرشار ار انرژی مثبت است. زمانی که روی این بروژه کار میکردم خیلی احوالاتم دگرگون بود. روزهای آخر قبل از بروژه بود و من به شدت نگران بودم که آیا قبول خواهم شد یا نه….این بانوی آبی حضور بیدا کرد و من را نجات داد بس به این امید که او بتواند برای شما هم ارمغان خوبیها باشد
Today I am feeling good. I just had a good feeling since I woke up even though I didn’t have any pleasant dreams.
The image I have chosen for today belongs to almost five years ago when I was working hard for my final masters’ project and was not feeling very positive. I was anxious and worried sick and didn’t know if I would pass or not.
Suddenly this blue lady appeared and she became one the main attractions on my final show!
Just by looking at her I get an injection of positive energy and feeling good.Only hope she will bring the same to you.
