The_Siren Posted June 24, 2009 LOL-I'm about 4 years too late with my reply it seems but I must say that having read all the replies I agree with master Che-son. Love-lust? pretty difficult to separate like Scorpion said. However, I believe there to be many forms of love-and Climi was probably hit with the one that most fickle men are suseptible to ie the "love at first sight" phenomenon. Others may disagree as to its credibility but I actually think its valid and if it isn't? Then why does such a sentiment exist? In all forms of universal poetry even? Coincidence? I think not.

Abdirahman Hassan Nur Posted June 25, 2009 Dear Faheem, Thanks a lot for your interesting question about Elmi Bodheri -if he really loved Hodan or just wanted her for lust! In response to your question, I would suggest you read the whole story about Elmi not just stick on one point. Perhaps, he did not interact with Hodan much because of some reasons but let me tell you that he tried much to meet her and indeed he met her several times but the problem was that such matter (his love poems for that girl) was very new to Somali culture that resulted to be considered shameful and aggression. On the basis of that Elmi failed to get his love and ultimately he died. In addition, if the person is eager for lust (craving of sexual intercourse); it is unlogical to recite such poems so this seems he was a victim of love with its highest level until he was dead. Thaks so much, again. Abdirahman H. Nur Islamabad, pakistan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted June 25, 2009 ^^ It's like one of those replies you get when you write a complaint letter. But the best part was this: it is unlogical to recite such poems so this seems he was a victim of love with its highest level until he was dead. Words evoke images and those words above called to mind an image of a dying fish. Ever seen a dying fish wriggle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abdirahman Hassan Nur Posted June 28, 2009 Dear Faheema, Thanks very much. I think you need not to apologize me because we were just discussing about and interchanging our ideas regarding Elmi's love story. I did not mean to show you that I got disappointed of your question but merely to share my impression with you on Elmi's story. You have a right to raise any question which is running through your mind. Thank you so much again. Best Wishes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
