Quote

the sunset looked way too pigmented—as if the color palette of sorrow had been thrown on it. yes, if sorrow had colors, they would be lilac mixed with pinks and some sneaky whites like the clouds at twilight. i thought it was a masterpiece; a way for nature to share that at the end of the day, each sobbed whisper goes directly to the skies. but before that, it leaves its color on the canvas of earth one last time.

today — just an eclipse

Every single dream you’ve pushed into the ocean praying that it dies and leaves you alone the water carries them; breathing and alive you left them to wither but their pieces wither in you dreams live as long as the dreamers do.

yesterday i was the moon by noor unnahar | Book Review

This book is a poetry collection by author Noor Unnahar- who is a modern-day artist and writer born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan. The book has poems that explore her struggles, self-love, culture, peace, family, and art. It also contains digital drawings in black and white.

I cannot personally issue a strong analysis in a book that is so subjective like this so instead, I’m going to list and share with you my personal 10 favorite poems that resonated with me.

📚 Recommendation 2.5/5 🌟

*2.5 stands for being neutral.

As always my dear I encourage you to read this book if it sparks your interest. As a first-generation immigrant, I resonated a lot with the author's struggles with cultural identity, self-love, language barrier, etc. Poetry is such a beauty and like art, is all in the eyes of the beholder, thus why I cannot say it’s a must-read for all or guaranteed that you’d gain some knowledge out of it. This book is just art, meant to be appreciated and exist. I personally enjoyed reading it plus it’s a short reading great for everyone.

yesterday i was the moon by Noor Unnahar #Poetry #AmReading

I am reading Noor Unnahar’s book of poems, “yesterday i was the moon” published in 2018 by Clarkson Potter/Publishers. I am enjoying the poetry so far, but I am “taking them slow.” Most of the poetry are free verse without punctuation or capitalization. Similar to the way I write most of my poems. I haven’t read any of Ms. Unnahar’s work previously, and while I do read a few books of poetry…

some houses are haunted. but they aren’t always inhabited by ghosts. sometimes some memories dwell there so starkly, their nameless faceless sorrow starts taking over and the walls keeping that house together start to collapse. i have walked into such houses only to witness a melancholic past, a withering present and a silent future. those houses carry the dead dreams and maybe broken hearts too because god knows where else one could ever find this much sadness that would turn one firm building into an abandoned mess.
