Dreams of suffering
By Doctor Abdeljabbar Choukri
Psychologist sociologist
Poet and novolist ( Morocco)
There is no way out of complaining
Except seeing existence smiling
There is no solution of crying
Except wiping the tears
There is no outlet of sadness
Except to fill the soul with joy
There is no collapse of despair
Except you cling to hope
There is no way to get rid of depression
Except by indulging in laughter
There is no pleasure in life
Except the giving of love
There is no no and no
And there is except,
Except and except
But in a moment of the time
I go to embrace the night
I complain to it my worries
I Bring back my memories
From the past since my childhood
I find nothing only fluctuations in feelings
I find nothing only fluctuations in behavior
I find nothing only fluctuations in promises
I Remember when l was a child
My mother tells me Arab stories
One Thousand and One Nights
About Shahrayar and Scheherazade
About the enchanted palace
About Beauty of princess and the Beast
I find myself navigating
In my mother’s stories in Arab tales
She talks to me and talks to me
until I fall asleep in deep sleep
