I deserve someone who cuts their hands picking stars for me

Melt my bones and fat and then call me whole.
Mahdiya Patel May 2020
today after many moons , I rose with the sun. The birds pulled me by my hair to come feel the crisp air. The breeze wrapped me up in a frozen blanket. And that’s when you said you’ll be surrounding me. Strange how your embrace is cold, when I can’t hear the warmth of an “I love you”

Strange of how “home” is only warm when I’m under your wrath begging for air. You are air. That which flows through my trachea into my vessel .
Air head - filled with none but you.

Inside me, filling me to the brim with your colorful splatters. Just a litre more, *** on daddy. Almost there... pooooof, sudden release. Watch the birds are flying. The heavy winds have quitened down. A calm after the storm.
Pleasure in all forms, surround me, in you.
A breeze on the cold morning fueled by the cotton candy sky.
Mahdiya Patel Feb 2016
A connection that began when we were just atoms floating in the heavens.
Mahdiya Patel May 2020
Who knew a 2 ply Egyptian cotton duvet could feel so heavy on my tiny body.
Who knew that a mattress could **** me into it , tangling it’s fibers to my veins.
Who knew that a pillow would make me sink a billion parallel universes away from the love of my life.
Who knew that getting out of bed would be so difficult?
Who knew that the very bed would keep me from your light.
Who knew that, that bed would take you away from me.

You do not comprehend how extraordinary you are.

I don't think you ever will because your being cannot be fathomed or concealed or packaged it is beyond understanding.

You are abstract even though you are so real.
Mahdiya Patel May 2016
Okay so you know in life we are given people right ?
And sometimes they are just accessories, they serve no actual purpose they are just present for decoration

And other times people are placed in our paths to mould us
Very few people have moulded me
But you are one of the most extreme impacts

Emotionally first , like you make me weak even though I have built myself to become so rigid
You have contributed to my personality in a thousand different ways ( you may not notice it )

And I am still baffled because it is not human-like for a being to impact another so greatly

So thank you , for being a part of my process

If it is the plan of the universe to continue having you on my path

OR
if it is tragic

I want you to remember something
I WILL ALWAYS FIND PIECES OF YOU IN MYSELF,
IN MY SURROUNDINGS
I will find your smile in the glow of the sun
Or your chaos in thunder
I will think of you when I see dust particles in faint sun rays
Or when night falls
I will always crave you when a wave hits the shore
I will feel your touch glide above my bones
Or remember how you burnt your love along the flesh of my lips and at the tip of my tongue

I WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU IN EVERYTHING, BECAUSE YOU HAVE
ENGRAVED MY MIND
Mahdiya Patel Jul 2015
I have begun to scare myself//

because I do not crave the pressure I must apply to pierce my skin//

I no longer crave the relief bleeding out causes//

All I want now is my ichor to run//

I want it to gush and flow//

I want it to collide with the worlds oceans//

I crave when I heal not because I am healing//

but because I am obsessed with the little stains I find on the surface of my very skin//

The small little chaotic drawings all over my body//

And I am scared because I do not know if I crave the attention or the scars//
Mahdiya Patel Sep 2016
I've always reaked of instability
From the time I was little
I didn't have a home

So when I got older I made homes of people who were never made to stay .
Mahdiya Patel Jun 2018
Thank you for wrapping your souls tears in a box for me , thank you for the pretty ribbon , thank you for remembering I like pink and how words rhyme.

Art
I am honored to have been merged with such a well crafted human being
Art
Mahdiya Patel May 2016
Art
It is so typical of me to call you art
But you MUST understand why I classify you as such
Like you have become a contextualisd portrait that is exhibited in the gallery of my mind
You are this abstract piece
With blur edges and overlapping hues

-And when the colours mix it is like a whole new creation
That is how days are with you
It's exciting
And different
And new
It's like discovering a new hue every single day
Mahdiya Patel Apr 2016
Everything screamed your name

The drops of water and the breathing leaves

And in that moment I had realized that the universe favors some souls , by placing the earth inside of them

You keep me ~grounded~
Mahdiya Patel May 2020
Sickness surrounds me
I can feel the germs penetrating inside me and exploding
Leaving evidence ...
drip dripping out of me I was as the disease leaves my body and I am cleansed I am new
I am invigorated by what I see in that sick infused room
I am left with a softness as I watch a father holding his new baby in one hand and how you watched with such awe maybe one day I will mother your children you will look at me with more starry filled eyes than now
I heard a teenage girl argue with her mom about a name for her new sibling
This poem is really bad but I’m sick and there’s so much health within me
Mahdiya Patel May 2016
You **** with the balance of chemicals in my brain

You control the pace of which my blood flows in my arteries

You possess my body without being physically present
Mahdiya Patel Apr 2016

Shhh
Watch the door ****
Is it turning ?
Is it a monster ?
...
Why are you quiet?
Are you scared little girl?
You’re so weak sitting there wrapped in your little blanket?
Do i make you nervous ? Haha I’m just asking if you’re okay

“Mommy I need you , come save me “ I need to be held away from the man of the house
He’s not ordinary right now
He’s a toxic mix of all ***** drugs and I don’t know when his gonna blow

Baba come hold me I know you cry too but you are stronger and not scared andyiu know how to survive in a mad house
Thank you for looking after the little baby
She likes you and how your entire hand fits on her face
You’re not gonna save her
She’s a little lost right now maybe a little to scared or nervous she feels alone even though she can feel your hand on her head, caressing it slowly till she fades
I see faces with cross eyes in my head
Why? I want to stab your eyes they serve no purpose
Mahdiya Patel May 2020
I’m not the type of beautiful that aggressors with your senses all at once, nor am I the type to make the stars stare. But I am the type of beauty that dictates spaces ,I **** up air with my soft energy, and I lure you’re in bit by bit , making you uncover the depths of my beautiful
I then start ******* your fears and painting them with rose water, I feel the textures of how you think and submerge myself into the folds of your brain ,I begin to creep around in your thoughts and I implant the real me ,and this is when my beauty will overpower your feelings
Never harshly my love , by softly , like the drip of a tap, and this implantation is worse than being injected with venom that kills you slowly.
You will bow down to my beautiful , because it’s the type that takes your life slowly , the type that you don’t realize is there.
Mahdiya Patel Sep 2015
"What is your perception of art? " he asked

I replied " when my name will be carved on your lips in a soft cursive "
Mahdiya Patel Jul 2015
Someone was once able to create a chemical excitement within me//

Like when I looked at him I could see the power radiating from inside his skin//

And when he looked at me I could feel his stare in the deepest part of my gut//

Or when he touched me the power fled from his skin to mine //

Or when our lips met I could feel the electricity burning my flesh in the most beautiful way//

And when he said my name
The words rushed out of his mouth to create artworks in the air above us

Consisting of the most vibrant colors

causing a rush of energy flowing through my blood stream//

Someone was once able to create a synthetic exhilaration within me//
Mahdiya Patel Jan 2016
We manipulated each other emotionally and called it love.
Mahdiya Patel Sep 2015
When i wrote about you , I always used metaphors regarding the worldly elements.

This was because my mind could not comprehend your beauty,
It always used to associate it with something close-by ...

Like  your passion and how it soared harder than the wind , or the tone of your voice in the late hours of the night, it was course and hard like grains of sand.
Or how when we held hands , our skin glided above our bones like slow rivers flowing downhill.

I still cannot comprehend your beauty ...or the fact that something as astonishing as the brightest star could be as destrustrive as the most frustrated fire .
Mahdiya Patel Sep 2015
The entire universe flows from inside your soul to my core when we kiss
Mahdiya Patel Jul 2015
I was once introduced to a beautiful violence. I craved the way his mouth would leave bruises on my skin, these bruises reminded me of infinities , dark and twisted.

I wanted to engrave my name into his flesh forever.

I liked how he touched me, his hands didn't gently brush over my skin , he embraced my whole body harshly.

I wanted to pierce my nails into his skin forever.

I desired his aggressive approach and how he often called me **** instead of beautiful.

I enjoyed feeling desired.
And I wanted to feel it forever.
Mahdiya Patel Apr 2016
Just like god created his own world

I miss writing
But just like breathing and eating
It’s a chore to accomplish and if I don’t
It’s a failure

I’m lying
I’m no longer obsesssive over sadness but when the neurons in my mind spark the wrong way I electrocuted into a nothing
A vegetable in a stunning garden with the rays of my person permeating onto my corpuscles and the violent silence
The lack of my mothers warmth is making me freeze
A block of purée a orange blob

Why do I continue to prescribe by being to nothing when the rays aim to elevate my status to heaven
Why do I self deprecate
I used to write so well and this poem is everywhere and no where and I’m being honest and I’m scrambling my mind is going to burst ahhhh
A label quick find it....
Anxious, scared ... defeat, nothing , fail , oblivioun
AHUT UP I’m tired
I want to sleep
I want to hold the rays hand his warm mum come here , don’t leave me
I’ve left me too
Find me
I’m here
Screaming for help
What am I suffering from
CAN ANY BODY HEAR MEE
Mahdiya Patel Feb 2016
If you look hard enough
You can find beauty in everything

Even destruction.
Mahdiya Patel Jul 2016
The universe has favored me .
I have pride in such a gift
Like the earths milky ways and thousands of colliding stars have fought against each other creating such a disturbance
You are a disguising piece of such a beautiful collision
And you have taught me how to love

Maybe it was god who punished me
In giving me pride in such a gift
Like you are the most ruined creation
But I have found pride in the spaces of your fingertips
He had gifted you to me as a sin
A sin that would flow from my lips
And settle as lust in my eyes
A sin that draws in attention without trying
A wreck that was made to never give

But I have disregarded all the burning buildings and I have chosen to see you for your mess
In your collision of colour and insecurity I have found what was made to fit me

Me ?
A born , disturbance
Just like you.
Full of insecurity and an unflattering mixture of hues.
Mahdiya Patel May 2020
you might think I’m lying, but today I layed in a field of violet flowers.
each petal of each and every flower whispered me a billion questions , when I find tuned their little giggles I heard what they were all asking childishly...
they wondered why they couldn’t smell you on my skin, they wondered why they couldn’t hear your voice making me smile.

I started to cry , because I told them you ran away from this field , that you were out in the city , in fast cars with loud sounds and I know your head gets messy when you think too much.
I cried a little bit more because my tears would soften all the pain for you. My holy water would drip from your cheeks from all the billion kisses I placed in your pores, do you think a field of love would grow there within you?
Or would the pain and the noise and the smoke from the fast cars pollute the purity of newness of kindness of life giving violet flowers.

After my mind slowed down I had realized that the millions of petals had fell to the ground to wrap me in their warmth just so my skin could smell of something.

Do you think I’m lying?
Mahdiya Patel Oct 2015
Trickle down my wrist
Down to the dark abyss
             There you will meet
With the sorrow of defeat
I have lost myself trying to find you
Mahdiya Patel Nov 2017
I will crack pages open to reveal the worlds I have created
Where whirling passion meets a depressed turmoil to dictate a further storm into an alternate being

“Astral travel “
Let my wisdom flood through the gates of your cerebrum to enter and penetrate your thought cavity
Visualize and I promise you will be transported

Imagine ...
Yourself , silk flowing just above your resting space
Now focus , focus on the motion of your blood , the pace - your corpuscles will become more vivid
Feed your body energy
From your powerful realm
Begin to pulse, I want you to breathe at the pace of the electricity
Can you see it
You are glowing , neon
Like under the signs of an old diner in the American movies
A glow, brighter than the stars
A glow so toxic, one that a simple mind cannot fathom
A glow both evil and pure
This glow creates and destroys

Destruction formulated by simplicity
Simplicity forming art
Dangerous art circulating ‘round the idea of breakage
Every now and again, an oasis needed
Not being able to reach far enough
The art destroyed the painter
The glow bursting out her veins
Death by her own beauty

Have you ever pondered on why the sunset and sunrise are prettier than the sun sitting in perfect equilibrium ?

I think it's because there is more beauty in creation and the way things fade away.
Mahdiya Patel Jul 2015
Fall for a poet because-
She will place her soft, tense lips upon your flesh and it will cause a burning sensation like no other
( due to the most beautiful poetry being engraved upon you. Quite like a tattoo )

//

Fall for a poet because-
Her words will possess such power.
The power to erupt volcanoes within you
( also she will know how to cause earthquakes that cause violent storms  which result in storms blazing hard in your very eyes )

//

Fall for a poet because-
I gurentee you that you will never find a raw-er form a love. A love that is so kind and so pure
( a love that has the potential to wreck beautiful art or create breathing trees )

//

Do yourself a favour darling,
Fall for a poet because-
Pieces of you will now be found in all that she creates.
We all want to be someone's muse.
Mahdiya Patel Oct 2015
because instead of her lips, her words will send you to dream land

the infliction of her voice will cause your heart to ramble

her tone will send chills down the middle of your magenta scars

~
Fall for a poet because //
Her word choice will make you feel as if you are art

As if you have been sewn
As if your skin tone was created by the experiment of combining multiple browns and beiges

That , that scar on your forehead is simply a watermark scribbled by the great architect

~
Fall for a poet because//
when she does touch you , you will be swallowed by her embrace and washed away to a forever .
I love you
Mahdiya Patel Jul 2015
I WILL BE THE MATCH TO YOUR FIRE//

I SHALL BE THE HEAT THAT EMITS

ABOVE AND ALL AROUND YOUR FLAME//

I SHALL MOVE AND SWAY

UNCONTROLLABLY LIKE A MUSE

THAT OBEYS THEIR MASTER//

I SHALL SWEAR MY HEAT TO PROTECT YOU

TO KEEP YOUR ICHOR FROM FREEZING

TO KEEP YOUR SOUL SNUG, ALWAYSS//

I SHALL BE INDESTRUCTIBLE

and i only ask of you

to not ponder on why...

i am so threatening

I WILL BE THE MATCH TO YOUR FIRE//

and i only ask of you ..

to not ever be the reason

my flame extinguishes.
Mahdiya Patel Jun 2018
Baby I think I have the power
Let us heal
Let us be whole
Let us talk our selves into existence by being great
By becoming undestroyed by what has been the greatest creation
You are magic and I will not alter my perception of you by making you less because of your choices
You are greater than what you do to other people
You are you and your vibrations are mighty
They are not on my wavelength and that is why they scar me
But the battle is not defeated it has been signed in a peaceful treaty where we split the treasure
The treasure being us completely
We can now reclaim ourselves by leaving this comfortable war
The safeness must end and we must face what we fear most
The raw us .
We must discover the cravesses of our flaws and embrace them how we embraced eachother
We are not monsters we are light
And I’m going to write about what you have unlocked within my brain
The system of my mind has been broken by your manifestos of who I am
I must take your mighty text and write my own manifestos of who I am and through this I will heal
By myself

I love you eternally
It started with beautiful words with the rebirth
Let it Rest In Peace with beautiful words too , because above all this safe haven was contentment

Goodbye my forever spirit
My always energy
I swear to always hover around you with light and to guide you on your journey with the love I have gifted you
Mahdiya Patel Apr 2016

I could say I love you a billion times, I could engrave it on the sun or scream it into space until my lungs lost all air - making it known to all life forms.
This would still not convey the intensity of emotion I feel towards you.
My love for you is incomprehensible, it is not tangible . It surrounds you like light.
Mahdiya Patel May 2016
Smoking's bad for me , so is your love
Mahdiya Patel Sep 2015
He reminded me of the
night but his very eyes lit

Mahdiya Patel May 2020
Little brown girls are taught safe love,
Which isn’t safe at all.
Love that is easy, love that is accepted.
Love that you don’t have to pick at like a scab,
Love that they see fit. Love that makes sense.
Love with a man and a woman who have tea together in the morning while the birds sing them well wishes for the day.

I have always found myself rebelling against my cocoa soil.
I have dug deeper into the dirt to find mischievous love, which always felt warm to me ; just like tea.
Maybe the warmth came from the rush of blood, the paranoia of being exiled, the heat came from another woman or another man or both a man and a woman simultaneously- quite heated is it not?

Little brown girls are taught safe love, but I am not brown nor little anymore. Watch me emerge from the dirt , budding the most ******* release. A simple rose ( or two ).
Him
Mahdiya Patel Oct 2015
Him
When I first observed the rare glass like shimmer in your eyes, I was unaware that in a few months I would look into those very eyes and fantasize on how they'd look in the morning when the only thing you'd view was my messy hair.

When I first observed the rare pink your lips carried, I was unaware that in a few months I'd kiss them and I'd taste the deviness of the creator , unaware that I would like that flavor to fuel my everyday for the rest of my life

When I first observed the rare combination of lines on your palms, I was unaware that in a few months I would envision paint in the incisions , paint from our new apartment.

When I first observed you
I was unaware that in a few months
I would begin to see the rest of my breathing days
For Gianni

You remind me of swirls of delicate perfection combined with the most elaborate of mindsets ~
I scream, you scream ,we all scream for ice-cream.
Mahdiya Patel Jun 2018
I will not make your drug habit comfortable like everyone else , I will not make eye contact with you because you do not deserve to see me
I will not tolerate the inhumanity that makes you make me crumble I will not tolerate you and how you disregard my being by falling into substance

I always idealized my mum
Maybe because she was the closest thing I could hold onto , my first home our cells both absorbed nutrients from the same blood stream
But I am getting older and. Am breaking to the thought of how she is not my home because she is his home and he hold a key yet I have her inside my blood
And I’m really sad because I know now that he doesn’t even have to enter her as she waits for him at the door with her fingers grazing the **** yet when I’m screaming for her to let me in all she does is “acknowledges” my pain
~ she will always choose him
Mahdiya Patel Feb 2016
The time I have spent with you is not enough , I NEED MORE OF YOU.

more instances to be embedded inside my mind alongside the most precious being .
Mahdiya Patel Jul 2016
Its not easy loving someone who does not have one ounce of love for themselves
or someone who finds it hard to love you because they were never taught how to
someone that is more comfortable playing violins in perfect symphony with their demon companions
rather than engulfing the sound of sweet melodic pianos by your side

it is not easy but i would wreck myself a thousand times just for the hope of you falling in love with all the purity that i have discovered beneath your skin.
Mahdiya Patel May 2016
Don't you notice how when I hug you I hesitate to let go , this is because in that exact moment everything f

away and I am attached to you , like our emotional connection becomes visible and I do not let go because I do not want that integration to deform.
Mahdiya Patel May 2016
You seem to leave scars on the inside of my flesh , they cut from the inside out , not the other way around .
Mahdiya Patel May 2016
It's like being stuck in a forest with all you need
We are in isolation
And the say isolation is the worst kind of punishment
