In Her Orbit

My latest pieces

“I have survived too much to go quietly.
Let a meteor take me.
Call the thunder for back up.
My death will be grand.
The land will crack,
the sun will eat itself…

-the day I leave.” – Rupi Kuar.

  • Forevermore

    I don’t know what the rest of my journey will be before I leave this earth. What I do know, is that at least it will be beautiful Whether in madness  In death.. Even the end will not unmake me— I will burn into the next world, still creating fire.

  • Burned by the sun

    Another chapter closedWithout a shadow of a doubtHere we go-Again with my head turning rounda few hundred-thousand degreesMy desaturated eyes rolled backAnother step closer to going crazyThe blinding rage blanked me like a shadow,squeezing my heart and turning my fingers black My chest pooled up with sorrow.It laughed at me, provoked meMocked the benevolence in…

  • In My Orbit

    Love has always been the constant moon that orbits my world,A gentle pull, never to depart.I’ve had so many chances to walk on solid groundbut I rather be the other kind of girlIn its gravitational embrace I spin and spin,A dance of souls where we may or may not win.Bound to the light, I drift…

  • Imaginary

    One of the most painful realizations in the worldwas coming to terms with how wrong I had beenabout what I truly meant to someone I deeply cared forRealizing that everything I thought I had with themwas actually never real—Just a fabric of illusion I somehow created in my heart,and the denial was the only thing…

  • Since You Came

    Utterly enamoredYou aremy diamond, my beauTogether we are much rarer, softerblissfully unashamedI’ve seen breathtaking worlds in many eyesBut there hasn’t been any thingquite like youI have never really known “safe”Neither have I been truly secure in one’s armsTo become one entity during the nightand when the sun comes out from the dawn,we reignI see you…

  • Good enough

    I realized that I became apart of the problem when I allowed myself to believe there was nothing wrong when I was really hurting underneath fromthe lack of effort by your actionsSomehow always left confused Waking up to thoughts of, “What if I’m not good enough for you..”How dare I- How did I ever let someone make me…

  • Your Home

    My body is my homeWhere my mind is free to run rampantDwelling vigorously,my eternal soulThere are sturdy limbs that carrydown to the halls of my fingertipsWindows in the shape of eyesIf you look inside,can you see the castle I have built?I had to learn how to love myself firstbefore I could continue to giveConstantly in…

  • If I wanted toI know how I can stop the whole worldSeparating myself out-of-bodyJust to become one with your every wordMy own bottomless ocean of feelings…feeling you entirelyWith such unfathomable intensityCaressing you without a single touchI can come to you vacantbut still very much wholeso I can offer you a place to get awayAnd gentle…

  • Monster

    You swore you knew exactly who I was,but it was only a version of methat you created in your mindTell me, was it out of fear?or disbelief in my character?Did the crease of my smile,or the resilience in my spine intimidate you?Perhaps I was nothing but a distractioninstead of facing your own demonsYou never showed…

  • Driven

    I’ve been working twice as hard all my lifeI was never given the luxury to have things handed to meI had to grow from my mistakes To take chances with low probability rates Tugging on life’s thin compassion Giving my own adviceand running to nobody but myself in the middle of the night Maybe in…

  • Apology Not Accepted

    You tell me you’re sorry?Explain this to me..How exactly was this supposed to go for you?What made you think this was something that I would need?I was another version of me back thenwho would believe in your take of redemptionYou cannot possibly think that I am the same person I just do not know how…

  • Get Used To It

    I wasn’t used to this Long warm embracesand deep wild eye staresThe kind that lets you know there is so much more in store for you It’s hard to have doubtTo be afraid When your arms are just wide enough To cover me, take me away It takes a lot to reverse the doubt I…

  • Water Me

    Seedsplanted Projected to be the strongest of treesI can finally take in all of the sunbeamsMy roots, now enchanted so I set fire to all the weeds Repelling any harm and unforeseen All of this because you see me even with eyes closed Branches crossed, heart on my leavesYou call me beautiful and push me to growI guess I’ve just been all…

  • Is that a Bird? A Plane? It might as well be..

    Dust and decay  Memories drifting off to space  Up, up, and away  Love was just a second to late  By my strong walk and now limitless smile  you would have thought that I wanted things this way.. Illustration by: Fatima SeeharCopyright 2019 Valerie Sanchez

  • Power

    I watch people abuse their power and how it unknowingly eats them alive It’s such a shame to think that they believe that “this is the way”Treating others like they themselves are any much better, Just entitledbut without it you’re just a regular person like everyone else who has aspirations, struggles and enormous dreams Working just as hard, day after day I mean humanely. underneath…
