The boggy ground I walk on is yours

The steps I climb on are yours

The leafy bushes in the yard are yours to hide in

The fairy lights twinkling at night are for your eyes

The evening breeze is for you to laze around in

Every corner behind the couches are your lairs

The birds tweeting are yours to prey on

The door I open at home misses your face welcoming me home

The house echoes of your expressive meows

Your rich furcoat of three colours has vanished and made the world so black and white

Every time I pat a cat I get a heavy gush of wind in my chest reminding me of you

That safe feeling in your purr I would run to after all the worlds stress

I miss you so much Pingoo and will continue too.

Road trip

What a change from the busy skyline in Dubai into the pink sands of Al Ain. Driving through the calm roads with not a single traffic reminding me of how Dubai used to be 15 years ago. When there was only one radio station, dubai 92.0 and no traffic updates to help you. Not really needed at that time anyway. Going to school with two ponytails, waiting to finish and have that ice cream from baskin Robbins that seemed the most exciting thing other than watching the Sesame Street on tv. The empty streets with scattered little shops look pretty much like spotting Feras sweets in the neighborhood back then in Dubai, where I’d walk along holding daddy’s hand. Skipping and jumping looking at all the cars driving passed us. When weekends would be more of going to the park for a family picnic than the confused issues of deciding what heels and where to go today. Capri sonnes and Oman chips were the most tastiest snacks not to forget going to sindbad which was our IMG at that time. Al Ain is an amazing trip to bring back old Dubai memories!
