Inferno

Distant Memory

Shards of our Souls

Try not to lose yourself,

hold on to what you love.

Twilight

Fall and get back up,

like the sun

– remembering

to rise,

one more time.

~Saadia

My Mountains

For Kashmir, my land, the broken place holding broken hearts,the place that lost a million sons, the disputed place with a striking, ironical beauty. Here is to the Paradise on earth, the place I gladly call home. 

Rain

For when it rains, I let it rain harder

Unseen Corner

                                                                 Fight till you see the sun.

For darkness is never meant to last.

Hues

Color your soul.

Like a River

Don’t wait for the day to start,

rise like a wave

and conquer. 

~Saadia

Skin

Don’t hold me vulnerable,

for the light seems to pierce,

the cocoon I am in,

Don’t let the light get there,

It will show my bruised skin.

~Saadia
