prose poem c:

Raindrops It’s a win for all of us who’ve been hurt. The raindrops outside my window. Are they streaks of water, or are they angels’ tears? Angels crying for us? It can only benefit us. Even if it washes onto street corners and into gutters, the supernatural things still cried for us. And sometimes rainbows…

essay. :3

A thousand rebirths. I transformed a thousand times. I moved back to northern Virginia from Doha, Qatar in Dec., 2021. Dec. 2021 was also the same month that I wrapped up undergrad, I finally graduated from college.

prose poem

I am happy As my friend, I have to say that me, the night sky, and the constellations are all fixated on you. And yet we’re all the same, we’re together in this. There’s no erasing the future, there’s no building the past, except in our imagination. May your hopes be high, and your prayers…

poem :3

protection in your form; a shield  Love liberated me. The best thing you can be is liberated from the evils of the world. Let me sit in the shade of your shadow. I want to take refuge in your silhouette. The sun overhead always has a lot to give; heat, warmth, light, intense energy. It…

prose poem :3

A cabinet, a bookshelf, an alter My wooden bookshelf in my bedroom was once a cabinet of sorts in the kitchen; it’s where my mom used to store onions and potatoes. I removed it from the kitchen, cleaned it off, and now it’s in my bedroom where I use it to store books, notebooks, and…
