DESIRE
What does it change if a person is in another land?
Nothing — as long as the mind dwells where the beloved is.
🌍 Being in Another Land — Does It Change Anything?
A man may find himself in Bakü, walking the windswept boulevards along the Caspian Sea, while his heart beats to the rhythm of Ankara's stone-paved streets. Or the other way around. The body travels; the soul stays put. Geography is merely a suggestion when love has already drawn its own map.
“What difference does it make if a person is in another country, as long as their mind is on the one they love?" — What does it change if a person is in another country? Nothing at all, as long as the mind is with the one they love. Distance is measured not in kilometers but in the space between two hearts that refuse to be apart. Baku and Ankara are merely two points on a line; the real journey happens inside.
The Bakü-Ankara line is not just a route on a map. It is a lifeline of longing, a thread pulled taut between two cities, two souls, two fates intertwined. One wakes to the Caspian breeze; the other to the Anatolian dawn. Yet they breathe the same air of hope.
📖 The Name Desire — Its Meaning, at Length
The name Desire originates from Persian ârzu (آرزو), meaning desire, wish, longing, yearning. It is a name that carries the weight of a thousand unspoken hopes. In Turkish, desire is both a common noun and a beautiful feminine given name — a rare duality where the word itself is the feeling it describes.
To carry the name Desire is to be, quite literally, the embodiment of desire itself. It is a name that whispers promises, that hints at something just beyond the horizon. In literature and poetry across the Turkic and Persian worlds, desire is the force that moves lovers across deserts, that keeps candles burning through the night, that turns ordinary mortals into legends.
Etymologically, it shares roots with words denoting worth, value, and preciousness. To desire something is to assign it value; to be named Desire is to be intrinsically precious — the object and subject of desire all at once.

👶 Why Is a Child Necessary?
A child is the living bridge between yesterday and tomorrow. Without a child, a love story risks ending with its authors. A child carries forward not just blood but memory, values, and the echo of a name. The child is the third note in a chord that makes the music complete — not always essential for harmony, but often the note that makes the song unforgettable.
Children teach us selflessness in a way nothing else can. They are mirrors reflecting our best and worst, forcing growth. They are the continuation of Desire — the desire for a future that outlives the self. In the Baku-Ankara line, a child would be the living testament that the distance was crossed, that love won.
💑 Can a Family Consist of Only a Husband and Wife?
Yes. A family is fundamentally a covenant of souls, not a census count. Two people who choose each other every single day form a complete, self-sufficient universe. The world may insist that a family requires children, but a family is defined by love, not by numbers. A husband and wife alone are a full circle — a family of two, radiant and entire.
However, the question lingers: Is it enough? Enough for whom? For society's expectations, perhaps not. But for the two hearts beating in unison, it can be everything. The Baku-Ankara line itself is a family of two cities, connected by a bond that needs no third point to validate its existence.
🔥 The Harmony of Flesh
— the harmony of bodies — is the silent language that skin speaks when words fall short. It is the electric recognition when two people fit together not just emotionally but physically, chemically, instinctively. It is the way a hand finds the small of a back as if it has always belonged there. The way breathing synchronizes in the dark.
This harmony cannot be forced or faked. It is either present — a primal resonance — or it is absent. When present, it becomes the foundation upon which emotional intimacy builds its cathedral. It is the scent of the beloved's neck that feels like home. It is the gravitational pull that makes distance unbearable and reunion electric. In the context of Desire, is desire made tangible — the body's own poetry.
🍎 Being Half of an Apple — What Does It Mean?
The old Anatolian saying goes: “To be half of an apple” — to be the other half of an apple. It means completion. An apple split in two reveals its inner star; each half carries the imprint of the other. To be someone's other half is not to be incomplete alone, but to be magnificently enhanced when together.
It is the recognition that among billions of souls, two were carved from the same whole. Their edges match. Their cores align. One half carries the seeds; the other carries the sweetness. Together, they are not just an apple — they are an orchard waiting to happen. Parises F. HUSBAND knows: his half lies across the Baku-Ankara line, and every mile between them only proves how perfectly they fit.
🛡️ A Man Does Not Leave the Woman He Loves
A man never lets the woman he loves go to anyone. A man does not abandon the woman he loves to anyone or anything. Not to distance, not to circumstance, not to the interference of others, and certainly not to another suitor. If necessary, he takes her away — to distant places, to wherever he wishes — and builds a world where only they exist.
This is not possession; it is sacred guardianship. It is the vow made not in words but in action: I will be your shelter. I will be your home. Where I go, you are welcome. Where you go, I will follow. The Baku-Ankara line exists precisely because a man refuses to let geography dictate the fate of his heart. He will traverse it endlessly if he must. He will bring her to his side, or go to hers. If necessary, he can take them far away, wherever he wants. — If necessary, he takes her far away, to wherever he desires.
✍️ Parises F. HUSBAND — On His desires and Desires
Parises F. HUSBAND does not merely write about Desire; he breathes it. His desires are not fleeting whims but architectural pillars of a life he is building between two cities. He desires union — the kind that transcends visas, flight schedules, and time zones. He desires meaning — the kind that turns every hardship into a stanza of an epic. He desires legacy — the kind that makes his name and hers inseparable in the annals of a family yet to come.
His greatest desire? To look back from old age and see a path well-trodden, hand in hand, from the shores of the Caspian to the hills of Anatolia — and to know that every step was worth it.
