I caught you coughing on constellations again / caught you swallowing starlight / like you’d never sipped celestial seas before.
I caught you calling the clouds again / caught you singing to the savage saints / like you’d never babbled to Babylon before.
I caught you stalking the skulls again / caught you masked in the marrow / like you’d never owed an ossuary to the orbit before.
Listen, child; unfurl your fists, unclench your claws. When the jaws of the jailer judder, and shudder, and shake, unhinge like a snake - eons ease into the earthquake.
Listen, child; rest your ribcage from its rattling, bless your bones from their battling, pray your palms to pause their prattling.
Time takes no trade, ‘before’ takes no blade, future takes no fade.

announcement :)
This might be a good time to mention that my poetry book is on sale!
Tumblr media
House of the Dead is available right now and you can get it here!
It's a great little read (<40 pages) for anyone that enjoys reimaginings of Greek mythology. If you're a glutton for tragic fates, sorrowful ghosts, Hades & Persephone, and curious for a glimpse at what awaits you after death, then this is the book for you!
Typically $10, it's on sale this week for $8. There's also a digital version available for just $3.50
If you'd like to support me, this is the absolute best way to do so! Even giving this post a reblog helps me out :)

Perhaps to love is simply to be grateful and graceful. To love is to wait and to be patient; to love is to hope; to love is to risk it all; to love is to go all in; to love is to bet everything on it; to love is to make efforts and be consistent; to love is to let them be free; to love is to be cautious, to love is to promise; to love is to be kind, caring and considerate; to love is to be vulnerable; to hold on and to let go at the right times; to love is to feel the warmth of the sun in winters and also to get burned by the same sun in summers. Love makes you soft but it also makes you harsh. And the only way through it is by being graceful and grateful among all those phases. that is the epitome of love. - sanawar fatima saeed

At every table i stare at your empty seat,
with ghosts of what went wrong, right next to me.
Your voice is the only sound i want to hear in the bustling crowds
Reminiscence of our past still echoes across these halls

Every Cell Of My Body Has Now Shed You
You tremor
In the felix of everything
Your helix: the definition
Of a deep breath
Light, vibrating off of you, ripples the water
I don’t know why I took so long
To swim abreast
But my feet flutter-kick
As good as the best, now
See how I undress and mount the wave crests?
In your sacral atmosphere I learned
The meaning between life and death
And just how far I thrive
Beneath the surface

My debut chapbook is released and available for purchase! There is a PDF available if you prefer to read from the screen rather than a paperback. Anyone who wants a copy can follow the link I provided. This project is based around the theme of neurodivergence. Some poems are metaphorical and others are quite direct. I had a lot of fun exploring through these words. It is a life long dream to have a collection of written work out for the world to see.

Life is only the name of taking risks. To put your heart at risk by loving people, by believing in them and trusting them, by setting them free and hoping that you won’t be left alone, that they’ll see and care for your emotions, that they’ll reciprocate the energy. You often get your heart broken but there is no other side to this story. The only way you can live through is by risking it all and by hoping that it will work. - Sanawar Fatima Saeed
