Description
Today it rained like hell. You just had to peek outside a window to see London as it is imagined by many: facade statues crying rain, gray skies that reflect on the wet, black asphalt while hundreds of umbrellas entangle in each other as people furiously run for cover.I closed the window and sat back in my desk: the skies were colourful compared to the silent mood in the office. I wore my headphones and played the Pumpkins...an acoustic number called "Sparrow". Suddenly I felt embraced; suddenly I felt human again.

This is beautiful. The light use of colour on a different coloured paper is a really nice effect that you don't see enough of really. It means the small white highlights really add some tone and contrast to the image, and make everything have a beautiful shiny feel. I do adore the way you shaded this, it makes the moment captured in this piece look so soft.

سأعانقك، وإن كنت طيفاً مرّ على خيالك، سأعانقك عندما تكون وحيداً تحت زخات المطر
سأعانقك، عندما أرى عينيكَ تبكيان صمتاً
عندما تثور الحياة حولك صخباً
عندما تسد الضوضاء بطوق الموسيقى الغجري
أو بسمفونية قطرات الندى الصباحية
بين ضجيج الأرصفة، وهدوء السماء قبل المطر
مشاعر هذه اللوحة مفعمة بحب عميق انتهى بفقد ولوعة
تبدو ناقصة ولكنها بالتأكيد أوصلت أحاسيس خاصة وقوية
ألم غامض
وجو رمادي في زحام الحياة
هذا ما طرأ على بالي باختصار
وقد أعود

From what I could translate, this is a wonderful ,beautiful poem! I will give it a go at translating it word by word.
I cannot thank you enough for this, love it

I did that for you I simply translated those in a understandable way ! well let's hope for that !
here it is:
"I will Hug you, even if I was a shadow, a ghost !
I will hug you, when you are a lone under showers of rain
I will hug you, when you eyes are crying silence
when the life arises Hustle around you
when you plug your ears with the gypsy musical headset
or with the symphony of drops of dew
between the noise of sidewalks and the calm of the sky before the rain
the feelings of this drawing are Replete with a deep love
ended with Wastage and anguish
looks incomplete but certainly brought me special and strong feelings
Mysterious pain and gray atmosphere in the crowded life!"

oh my oh my !!!!!!!!
it looks unfinished yet it is a complete scene.. feels like some feelings were missing or something ,, this one I like a lot !
so expressive and I feel sadness and gloomy emotions with the feeling of the atmosphere you described.. dark sky and life going under that fast running ppl !
My language is weak to describe such feeling I received
I may write in Arabic later !
my regards !
