Hello there! I'm Natasha, an official member of this planet since 1990.
My love affair with poetry and literature began the moment I became literate. I'm from Lebanon, a middle eastern country bordering Syria and Palestine, holding Beirut as its capital, the Mediterranean for its sea and Arabic as its native language.
I have a weakness for interesting or beautiful ideas and their portrayals, whether they are manifested in literature, music, visually, or verbally. I am as curious as the cat who died, and I seek knowledge on a daily basis. When I am not submerged by human perceptions, I am fascinated by and looking up the facts of this world, of its nature, of its creatures, and of the universe holding it.
In silence you, in silence me
laying in distance, opposing infinities
In silence true, in silence free
staying in resistance to such frailty
...
I pined to become weightless
Closed my eyes and thought I'd take this
I wanted to be nameless
I began to rise and thought I could wake this
...
Moon after moon is reborn and waning,
and I am here anticipating.
The tide is rising and waves are crashing
where my footprints once signed the shore
...
What encompasses me is this
I am entangled and estranged
A moment in a dimension of bliss
Is now so strangled and so changed.
