"If the Olive trees knew the hands that planted them, their Oil would become tears" - Mahmoud Darwish Credits for cover art: @hibah_musthafa on IG. https://www.instagram.com/hibah_musthafa/p/C2UyvRexYrH/?img_index=1

Under the warm whispers of an olive tree, twelve year old Riham sits quietly, watching a world that no longer feels like home. Hunger, bombings, and loneliness have become her everyday companions, but the echoes of life still stir within her a reminder that even in a land torn apart, the will to live and remember never truly dies. This is her story of loss, survival, and quiet hope under the shadow of destruction. A story of a child who still dares to smile, even as the world forgets.

"If the olive trees knew the hands that planted them, their oil would become tears." - Mahmoud Darwish.

A true heartfelt essence of loss and pain. The in depth resistance from a Palestinian to acquire freedom and remain resilient within the constant struggle of fighting for freedom and justice. A poem I wrote from my soul

In Homer's Odyssey, Odysseus prove that he's not a god that's trying to deceive Penelope by telling a secret that only the two of them knows. One of the legs of their bed is a living Olive Tree. From then on Olive Tree became one of the symbols of Fidelity.

A poem about me and my friend and how our pasts, our memories, and our pain can affect us in unimaginable ways (yeah I just made that up;)

Getting engaged to Odysseus, one of the most important and wise people in all of Ancient Greece was the best and worst mistake of Penelope's life. She met Odysseus while trying to get away from the many suitors trying to win hers and her sister Helen's hand in marriage. When friendship turns to love turns to marriage, Penelope thinks that life can't get any better. It was her and Odysseus and a little boy named Telemachus against the world. But when Odysseus leaves for Troy and is gone for 20 years, Penelope gets suspicious. The war had ended years ago, and she keeps hearing rumours about what Odysseus has done on his travels, and it makes Penelope wonder if he's really faithful to her. Even worse, Penelope has 104 suitors on her tail, trying to trap her and force her to marry them. Their leader, Antinous, is the most persistent, and since Odysseus may be out of the picture soon, Penelope had a hard time saying no because he threatens to hurt her, Telemachus, and everyone she cares about. Can she remain faithful to Odysseus and keep stalling the suitors and will he remain faithful too? Or will she fall into the evil clutches of the suitors and never see Odysseus again?
