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.

  • XO

    A kissis not just a kissBut a constant subliminal wishJust another lengthy tripWhile our watches stop workingand the world is standing stillWhat is time to all those longingWhen things for us usually go downhillMy souls been out wanderingThe exhausted independent travelerSuch a long sleepless journeyMon chéri,I’ve been bettering meBeing freeand constantly- subconsciously searchingFor some peace…

  • The Misconception

    People often forget that alone and lonely are two entirely different things.Alone is coming home to myself — drinking tea, painting, and finding peace in the quiet.Alone is lying beneath the stars in Central Park, staring into the universe and wondering how I’m going to leave my mark on the world.Alone is sitting in my…

  • City Love

    Bright lights, busy streets Always out of time  Forever out of reach  Loving here seems almost pointless  Just too many hearts to choose Too much pain to want to have to through  There’s always something somewhere  that someone’s got to prove  Surrounded by pride and fear on every face You always keep the real you…

  • The Train to the Sky

    I envy you. Your smile is beautiful by day & even more so by night. Perfect, full of bliss and untouchable only by sight. However I am always full of hate, seen running from my problems & mistakes. And the people who touch me never give but take.. I let them walk all over me.…

  • What’s it Worth?

    Late night metrical composition flaws  Electrical brain waves bouncing off the walls  If it could ever be seen as being worth the long haul  Then perhaps a constant bliss that’s eternal once and for all   (November 14, 2016)

  • The Dance

    FlyingEverything else had fallen off meAll cares, fears and insecuritiesAs you reached out to danceA night time air show at lastStill hesitant to touch your handYou once were the manwho didn’t know how to be openBut your body spoke indifferent languagesSaying “Be free for the moment”Its one of those rare feelings I get–This out of…

  • The Truth About The Lack Of Commitment

    I cried oceans and rivers,lakes into streams. It didn’t hit me right awaywhen I had to watch you leave. The world kept stretching wider,pulling us down to our knees. I may have been weak,but you were never stronger than me. — The “faith” you had in us Illustration by: Fatima SeeharCopyright 2019 Valerie Sanchez

  • Come What May

    You’re not thinkingI’m not thinkingOnce strongnow a loosing fightThis happens all the timeWe just can’t seem to get it rightWhen it comes to temptationsWe stumbled upon forever in conversationAnd how much we don’t deserve one otherJust pure unwavering frustrationThe measure of our bond was consistentHow can you be so passive with all of this distanceBut…

  • What A Thought

    Difficulty sleeping A lot on the mind By now I can basically make out all of the imperfections of the ceiling Just wishing I could get some sort of sign Of when the inconveniences of life will come to an end Or maybe just some more time..

  • Change

    In’s and outs  Humid boardwalk beach winds  The universe said, out with the old Lets begin again Where your rivers flow my dear Because so much of the water has been so unclear…   Illustration by: Fatima SeeharCopyright 2019 Valerie Sanchez

  • To Whom It May Concern

    I’ve never stopped looking for you. Although everyone tells me that I shouldn’t. Time passes and I still search for you. Especially when I’m at my lowest for some reason. Even when I’m surrounded by people who I know are actually there for me. I look for you even though I don’t even need you…

  • Garden

    I decided you could enter my garden You could finally have a taste Turning on the springs to my restricted fountains The only visitor in a while of the place Because I believed that you were different Look at all the sunflowers you gave I thought how could I deserve your offerings Watering me with…

  • Once Upon A..

    Magnetic touch Comforting scents Such a beautiful mind Somewhere deep in the end The end of time The end of what was, and now is The end of what seemed to be the longest winter The end of emptiness That part that’s beginning to fill of I want you and you want me something I…

  • Fire Place

    38 degrees outside nor’Easter ice melts  Though the storm in your eyes I could never tell In sleep you’ll find I am kind And I’ll never forget  those nickels and dimes  Your paved road gave me this peace of mind  And every step I took, the snow melted You were reaching out for a fireplace …
