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.

  • Your concern

    Men have it all wrong.It is not the woman you should fear.It is the manwho arrives after you—the one who teaches herthat love was never supposedto feel like begging.The one who speaks gentlywhere you were careless,who reachesfor the piecesyou convinced herwere too much.Because one dayshe will stop mourningthe love you never gave,and start grieving the…

  • To be, her

    No one tells you from young that being a woman is learning to carry things you were never meant to hold alone.The invisible weight of becoming,of softening without disappearing,of giving pieces of yourself, and hoping there is still enough left to call your own.You learn early that the world will study you—your body, your choices, your…

  • The child I have always loved

    I keep counting birthdaysas if they are answers.But time has never promised anyone another spring—only thatit will keep blooming with or without us.All my life,I have been waiting with intention—choosing carefully,loving slowly,hoping that when I decideand my darling arrives,they will know safetyI spent my whole childhood searching for.There is a child I have loved for…

  • A rose is still a rose

    You do not need to bloom on command to prove that the soil was worth the waiting. You are the light that finds its own way through, the steady hearth, the sacred,  unhurried breath. Not a gift to be given, not an object to be owned, not a prize to be won— just a rose,…

  • Borrowed time

    Do not tell me that there is only certain way I can live my life. I have spent enough years mistaking cages for homes,silence was peace, and survival for living.I refuse to inherit a life that is measured by someone else’s fear. There is too much of this world waiting to be touched—too many skies…

  • 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…
