Voyage's End: Good Bye



My dear readers

Instead of prolonging this & wasting time on trying to write an epic farewell post, it occurred to me today, finally, that I should make this simple, hence;

This is indeed my final post!
It has been an honor knowing and meeting you and equal honor writing in this corner I called mine for years.

Mirroring my first post I declare that weather I’m stuck in a giant robot mid battle or running through the savanna to the sunset, I wish to meet you again somewhere else in this virtual space.

With all the love

Goodbye!


Your Loyal Captain Haneen Ibrahim.

The Last Voyage: Phantom #AtoZChallenge



State Of Day. Just finished watching the Greatest Showman, dazzling film. Hold your breath and wait for Jenny Lind’s heart stealing performance of “Never Enough.” Playing her role the stunning Rebecca Ferguson.

The Last Voyage: Mephistophelian, No man’s land & Ocean #AtoZChallenge


State Of Day. I’m Back from seeing my nephew, he’s well and cute and everything a new born is.

On another note, Big Hit did it again, they fooled us! BTS’s next album will not be Love Yourself: Wonder but Love Yourself: Tear…I had a feeling something funny's going on. Anyway, as an ARMY I’m aware of such tricks by now.

The Last Voyage: Lament #AtoZChallenge



Hello!!!

Another day in the A to Z challenge and another letter and today we deal with ‘L’ and lament our horrid luck.
Just kidding :p



The sound of whizzing that resembled a dying scream was what she heard as her sword dug into the shadowy monster that she dueled with a moment ago.
But that was only a puppet and she knew it. Who’s the master?

The black pitched world began to blur, she was on her ship again in a foggy morning, except she was alone. The ship was abandoned and no sign for her crew.
Her frustration rose to her throat.
“I’m still stuck in this spell?!”

Did she do anything wrong? Is this an act of revenge? Who did she pissed off so much to spin this elaborate sick joke. A rather dangerous sick joke.
Nothing was happening so…how about she burns the whole charade down?
She walked determined heading for the kitchen. The Sea Captain couldn't be sure, yet she was positive her men were in a desperate situation, so far the master of this magic cage has proven to be both powerful and a trickster.

And that he chose her in particular to play his game.

 
s

Lament
The choices
Of careful design
Engraving hate on your
 Heart


See you soon :)

Cinquain is a non-rhyming 5-lined poem pioneered by Adelaide Crapsey (1878 - 1914). There are many ways to write it, weather relaying on the number of words or syllables in each line, which makes it always end up in a diamond-like shape. I will be following the two and sometimes a mix of both types.

The Last Voyage: Jack- O-Lantern & Kamikaze #AtoZChallenge



Greetings to you all!

Well, um, yes. You can see I missed the letter ‘J’ yesterday, but I got really busy preparing for a trip, as I told you before. This auntie is heading to another city to meet her first ever official nephew Ramiz :)
I have no idea if I will be able to keep up with the challenge in the upcoming couple of days, let’s just hope no more delays happen.

The Last Voyage: Illuminate #AtoZChallenge



State Of Day. Thank you for all those who congratulated me for becoming a brand new auntie ^-^ although I still haven’t seen my nephew who is in another city, but I will soon, two or three from now hopefully! 
I still don’t know what are my duties as an aunt but I’m positive I’ll do well :) wish me luck.

The Last Voyage: Hope #AtoZChallenge


State Of Day. Today I officially became an aunt. My older brother RoboBro, in the wee hours of this day, has transformed into a father. It makes such cosmic sense that the first child of this man in particular is born in a World Cup year.
RoboBro, you see, is a football fanatic :P
In fact, it is because of him that I was introduced to the fabulous FC Barcelona.

What? Why yes, of course I’m happy :) there’s a new baby in town!

The Last Voyage: Free and BTS’s Euphoria #AtoZChallenge #BTS #Euphoria



Greetings to you all!

Yesterday BIG HIT Entertainment streamed a long awaited trailer for K-Pop boy band BTS. And we believe the upcoming album will be called LOVE YOURSELF: WONDER.
As an ARMY myself I was at awe! Euphoria the song played in the trailer, with Jungkook’s silky voice, was worth the waiting. It’s on ply back all day, if not on my laptop then inside my head.
Of course something like that has to seep into my writing for the challenge, and so I happily present you with today’s F poem :)

The Last Voyage: E = Enlighten #AtoZChallenge



And the A to Z challenge continues everyone. How are you doing so far?

So I’m trying to visit more/new blogs each day and I came across some really interesting themes and posts :)
But so far, the one I’m enjoying the most is Akshata Ram at askwrites she’s an Indian writer posting about social and personal issues in the life of a women  in Urban India. Quite relatable, smart and sharp.
If you haven’t yet, I suggest you check it out. She answers each comment :)

The Last Voyage: Captain is Deadly? #AtoZChallenge



Hello there!

Already missing a day you ask me?

Yea well, for the first time in my life I celebrated my Birthday.
Yes I am aware my birthday was on Monday but the cute small party was on Tuesday.

My friends, who I haven’t seen for ages, and I went out and had a really good time, and when I came back I was tired and not at all in the mood for writing.
No fear though, I got two poems for today.

The Last Voyage: My Birthday and Where I Will Always Belong #AtoZChallenge

source


Hello everyone!

It is B-Day in the A to Z challenge and for the Sea Captain ^-^

Over the years I celebrated my birthday on the 2nd of April on this sweet avenue “I Will Never Give you Up” that I’m saying goodbye to through the A to Z event.
It became kind of a ritual, and this year isn’t different, except it will be my last celebration here. Okay, here we Go!

The Last Voyage: Astrolabe #AtoZChallenge




Hello!

Today my friends I have an important announcement...dun, dun daaan:
I am in the process of closing this blog.
Yes...I said it.

After 5 years I am about to say goodbye to my beloved ‘I Will Never Give you Up.’
I honestly believe it has run its course and life span, and the Sea Captain who started this blog in 2014 is different from the one writing to you now.

But it is obvious, is it not?
