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.

  • 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…

  • You Never Belonged Here

    As if the entire world wasn’t at your feet, as you casually turned and walked away from me. You may think that I am not meant for you,  but it turns out you were just never meant for me. Illustration by: Fatima SeeharCopyright 2019 Valerie Sanchez

  • Beautiful You

    Eyes candle lit Chocolate covered kiss  Your hands on my hips There’s nothing else like it Early morning embrace  A thousand pecks to the face Coffee with homemade pancakes  It’s been too peaceful in this place  Illustration by: Fatima SeeharCopyright 2019 Valerie Sanchez

  • You Deserve Each Other

    You need someone Someone other than me Someone who would snap at you when you act different or disappear and don’t return messages  Someone who would ignore you when you cancel plans last minute  or who would fight with you about the way you move Every time you make one excuse after another Someone else can…

  • Uninvited

    Be carefulwhenever you decide to welcome yourselfinto another woman’s worldYou weren’t there beforewhere things were just fineShe could ache for real love, and the deepest affectionsbut she was, or is undoubtedly free.Free from the uncertaintyand worries about another manFrom her ever having to wonder if you willchange your mind about how you feel about herFree…

  • What You Didn’t Know

    I sway.. almost hijacked inevitably overflowing with expression. You stand there in complete awe by the way I move. It was never a secret. You know that I live by the sun and love by the moon… Illustration by: Fatima SeeharCopyright 2019 Valerie Sanchez

  • Madness

    Sometimes I feel like I’m going mad Straight losing my mind If it’s not all the voices in my head Its the anxious uncertainty of timeVoices honestly wanting me to just pack up everything and leaveThe everyday battle of if I can be the woman I’ve been building myself to bePressures and insecurities Pouring out…

  • My feelings

    “It’s nonsense” you say.The way I see things“I don’t (want to) understand” you say.With the way I see things. You only ever listenand become concerned with the way I see things when I am no longer concerned with trying to get you see them. Illustration by: Fatima SeeharCopyright 2019 Valerie Sanchez

  • Diary of Hard Worker

    I didn’t know what I was doing  I thought I was crazy  for ever thinking that I could find my way in a world like yours Little did I know, it was where I belonged just the same The world was ours. Illustration by: Fatima SeeharCopyright 2019 Valerie Sanchez

  • Nothing like the movies

    SurrealSimilar to what a translight backdrop could doso you could never tell what was realor made up of a dreamJust like the shows and movies you see on T.VYou once had me deeply moved.. I even flaunted about how I belonged to youYour typical Hollywood dollbut I always felt like it was something too good to…

  • Eve’s Adam

    Why do men do what they do,see what they see,or live like they live?In my most honest opinion,I think they’re all beautifulI guess it is why never really had a “type”There is something extraordinaryunder all that masculinity, and seriousnessBeneath all that is made up of the “perfectionist”The “prideful”The “rugged” and “refined”or a diamond in the…
