My heart
is another
miracle
you could
spot from
the quietest
parts of the
world.
Zahra 2d
What’s the
use of
knowing
life deeply
when it
  leaves before
dawn?
Zahra Jun 11
The sun
draws in the dead we bury,
burn them into light.
The moon,
though mounted in darkness,
holds this holy truth in silence.
Stars—
souvenirs of empathy—
scatter across the night,
in search of one more smile.
The sky
decides what to reveal,
what to keep veiled.

What we lose
becomes —what we see.
Zahra Jul 19
Perhaps
moon
had been
hiding
something.
she loved
once
it hollowed
her, she
poured
herself out
into the
dark
left her
body bare,
and we
call it light.
Zahra May 11
Her wounds were stitched
with threads of patience,
And from the hurt,
a moon emerged,
A glowing orb of light.
Zahra Jun 8
What if I pulled a rope
from the moon’s quiet rear,
hung a wooden seat—
and swung through the dark
like it was mine to hold?

as if the cosmos— had kept
a seat for me.
Zahra Jun 20
I stretched far enough
to hug the moon—
and it didn’t flinch.
It stayed—unbothered,
like it had been waiting.
Zahra Jun 13
You're perfect at every moment—
remember, even stars don’t shine with perfect edges.

And still—they light the sky.
Zahra Jun 21
Like wild trees,
people branch out
fiercely—unconscious.

Some limbs reach
for light,
while others curl
into shadow.

Each one is growing
in their own time.
It’s never about you.

Don’t be bothered
by the thorns they wear.
A tree must grow them—
it’s part of its nature,
like armor,
like a dress.
Zahra Jun 15
Empty my organs.
Excavate what's left—
fine flecks of gold,
forged by patience
and empathy.
Melt them slowly.
Hang what’s holy
around your neck,
for your living.

—donation.
Zahra Jun 9
Her inner tides rose
quietly—
and in the moonlit
water,
her face blurred, yet
shimmered like something sacred.
She laughed, even in—unrest.

The moon saw her—better than
she did.
Zahra Jul 17
Nature depicts
abscission as the
beauty of life,
so why do I
call it detachment?
Zahra May 24
The scars on her body seem
to leech the dopamine from
her veins― She felt that pain
is the residue of joy.
Zahra Jun 17
There’s something malignant
inside me—something that
hums in the dark,
fingers strumming a guitar
against my ribs at midnight.
By morning, a daisy unfurls
at my throat—
its tendrils trailing upwards,
like thoughts searching
for stillness at my mouth.
Zahra May 19
Breath finds its
way to the ribs.
How do we draw
love near?
proximity ♡
Zahra Jun 3
You placed that long,
humming conduit in me
and I jolted, a surge in the
dam, my limbs stuttering
like loose wires, no rhythm,
no balance —just current.

My body answered—  
before I did.
Zahra Jun 7
He stirred her moons—
left them pulsing like distant stars.
Zahra Jun 18
Your absence hit
like a stem,
fresh-cut—
sap still weeping,
leaves still turning
toward a blue,
fictioned sun.
Zahra Jun 4
We compress every feeling
into a smile—a rainbowed
universe painted across the
crescent of our mouths,
because the cosmos fits
between two lips and the

world unfurled— at the
curve of a divine mouth.
"smile"

Zahra May 31
Your soul keeps returning,
even in death—like sea
remnants brought back
by restless waves...

    Grief comes like the
   sea—never done,
never dry.
Zahra Jun 19
My mind shuts down
like a city at midnight—
lights off,
but echoes still
wandering the streets
Zahra May 23
An infantile urge to
stretch a bedsheet
and pull to reach a
toy just out of grasp
—a manifestation
of adult anxiety.
Zahra Jun 22
He said,
“Just fun and play.”
But I was already
half player,
half ache.
I don’t know how
to be light
when I carry
so much sky.
Zahra May 4
She's under
Cinderella's
spellbound night.
The reality will
seep in soon.
Zahra Jun 26
In a world where love is an endangered creature, don’t wander in search of it.
Instead, accept the speed, shape, and limits nature has given you.
You are like a swan, gliding gracefully across the water, while your webbed feet paddle beneath the surface with resilience.
Though you may be seen as a symbol of fidelity, you won’t always smell sweet, and that may be a reason for being disliked.
But that’s not a flaw—just a boundary. We all have our own.
Not everything beautiful takes the same path to become a flower.

Zahra May 27
Pearls are born in turmoil
within oysters—so is love.
Zahra Jun 24
I feel myself
being consumed
by the universe—
a little more each day.

The sky draws light
from my wounds,
and pulls colour
from my blood—
into rainbows.

I melt,
drown,
vanish—
like ice in wine,
quietly disappearing.

My edges
start to blur,
my shape
less defined.

Though I vanished,
I made the act
of giving fuller—
Like melting ice
lifting water,
An ascent
born gently
from my dissolving.
Zahra May 22
You don't know
where the kite goes.
You just have to
let it ride.
Zahra Jun 13
The curse wasn’t the mirror—
but how many Grimhildes
were given one.
—equity.
Zahra Jul 16
Though the
moonlight
doesn’t run
out,
and the sun
doesn’t choose
who it warms.
Still I keep
resisting
something
as if I’m
working
against the
earth. .
Zahra May 24
The sky convulses,
a star plummets, plunges
into the earth, and is gobbled
up by the soil— leaving
no signs of vitality
or decay.

Zahra May 30
Sometimes love sits stagnant—
like excess water in a wide
flower ***.
Other days, it’s just enough
for tender roots on a balcony,
absorbed and quietly drunk.

It swells and thins like a tide
beneath the surface—
shaping what grows above.

I yearn for a lotus leaf
drifting and merging
with waters that gently
flow into a sacred grove,
where paths route
to heaven.
Zahra May 10
She wedded a vibrant patch
of land that cradled her radiant
spirit, wrapping her in
sunshine and wildflowers.
Zahra Jun 10
My mother once said:
No one is born turtle-shelled.
It’s the world that distills us into
resilience—pressure folding us
inward, like soft fruit behind
a spiked rind.

Inside, we are tender—
even the durian has
sweetness.
Zahra Jun 23
I glanced at the veins
of daisies drifting
from the sky—
roses and tulips, too,
tangled in the clouds,
as though the heavens
were blooming in reverse.

The moon and sun
had come to earth
for rest—
to feel the grass,
to touch something green,
to turn off their lights,
and finally, just breathe.

Because even light
gets tired
of being needed.
Zahra Jun 6
Just because I wear the
name 'woman', doesn't mean
I'll bare myself to you—
like the moon offering
herself to the night.
I'd rather remain—an
unopened bottle of wine.

I am not a pour—
I'm a preservation.

Zahra Jun 12
Loving you was
like sowing a seed
  in sea sand—
soft, vast, and never
meant to grow.

Could the sea swallow
what the heart offers?
♥️
Zahra May 16
Sometimes, it feels like
words have become
extinct dinosaurs,
Like the earth has
already sunk them
deep.

A duo of
parrots
has been
fluttering
they’ve
made my
  room a stage.
Their wings
flap like
applause.
Everyone
calls it
sweet
I call it
performance.
I reject how
loud,
visible,
and simplistic
their love seems.
I don't like love
that performs in
daylight,
I want a love
that’s curtained
and cryptic.
Zahra Jun 25
We need only
four things to
be whole—
love,
support,
a friend,
and— God.
Zahra May 9
Their lips brushed
against each other
like the sun leans over
to kiss the ocean.
Zahra Jun 13
He drew her clothes away
like waves touching the
shore, stealing sea-silk
and slipping back quietly.
Rain slid down the
windows, and moonlight
pulled the shadows of
heaven into her eyes.
Zahra May 25
Love reveals our
bare selves—like
the full moon, clear
and veritable.
Zahra Jun 16
Patience is the drug.
The more I taste it,
the more it lingers—
a stillness I now seek.

I swim through its
endless depths, sculling
like a deep-sea fish,
where light is scarce,
but slits of beauty
glow along the fins.

It brings peace—
dilating the heart
like honey, slowly poured
into the vessels,
sweetness thickening
the body—richer than doubt,
denser than love.

God’s gift—passed to me,
without a question.
Zahra May 16
The feasts on her
chest nurture the
soft palates.

Zahra May 28
We can't know the sea's
depth without the swim,
Nor gauge tomorrow's
progress until it's lived.

Everything reveals
itself—in motion.
Zahra Jun 1
Love and hatred descend
in a hierarchy, unraveling
from above—where sun
and moon once kissed,
and love began.

  The sky wrote love—
before we could name it
kiss of the cosmos
Zahra May 26
Though you’re but a
single drop of rain,
Your presence ripples
through the world—
You rise with the mist,
form clouds above
darkness and carve
rivers below hope,
stir oceans and tides,
sculpt glaciers and
awaken springs,
nourish lakes and
swell the seas.

You are part
   of something vast—
  alone, yet whole.
you are not small
Zahra May 14
A mother's womb,
Like a ripe field,
yields fruit.

- a newborn.
