5000letters:I love that you are fingers firstplum-soaked...

5000letters:

I love that you are fingers first
plum-soaked and
sodden with it.

Your want
and mine,
a choke-chain around that
delirious hum

That pull and heave,
whisky-dipped tied twice
around your fist

Tied once over
and over and over, full of
the throat
the untwined spine, the mouth 

On mouth and teeth
and tongue, unloosen the
back,
undo the shoulders and press
down

Hand-first, landlocked
fish the breath out of the
stomach,
swallow it whole, take it

Bellyful, mouth full,
unlearn the ache, cup the
bruise
kiss downwards against those
plains

Sigh – honestly,
breathless, and begin the
careful
unravelling, unstitch the
skin again

And again, I love
how you tighten your fingers
around it, bring it closer
and

let it fill you, brimming.

Azra.T “Sugar Plum”

Omg Azra did you listen to better love by hozier oh. my. god

Yes, he’s the love of my life. We’re getting married.

"I imagine the sex. The rattle of it, the sharpness, their tongues, His & Hers, matching..."

“I imagine the sex.

The rattle of it,

the sharpness,

their tongues,

His & Hers,

matching towels,

coffee mugs,

hipbones aligned

into planetary

miracles. Mouth

seams full of light,

joints aching,

heavy with it,

curving their bodies

like swans necks,

his fingers, before,

the same fingers,

before,

on a different body,

not mine,

less bulbous

and hesitant,

not mine,

open as a subway

station, eating

skin on skin on skin,

not mine,

like handprints

on foggy windows,

pressing her

into every shadow,

the same fingers, before,

pulling her throat strings,

before,

swallowing her

into litanies of

greedy prayers, before,

not mine, before,

the grime of them,

furious with it,

before.”

- Azra.T “Fuck You” 

Azra. I really like you. A lot. I'm not really a poetic person or an emotions person but you make me want to read because I can feel your words. I can taste them, smell them. How do you do that? I don't do feelings, but i can feel love in your words. Thank

You beautiful thing. Thank you.

beqarari:

I think my resentment towards marriage comes from the way us brown girls are told to perceive it. Its not seen as something beautiful, two souls uniting. Rather a contract. You’re a responsibility of your family, carrying their honour and one day you will be handed to another man and his family and then you will be his responsibility and carry his honour. Its like you’re chained to men all your life and that’s all you’re worth. This culture suffocates women with its crazy ideals and I don’t want to be a part of it.

Do you think people have the capacity to be unlovable?

No.

Do you have a personal blog?

This is it I think

I ordered your book well over a year ago and never received it but i didn't even realise until it was too late to really bring it up. It's a shame cause i love your work :(

Hey! Come off anon and give me your address and I’ll get Amanda to find out what went wrong okay? If you bought it then you deserve to have it.

i love that you only gave anon two words :P

It’s so intense getting messages like that on anon! I wasn’t being sarcastic, just a bit nonplussed

I don't want 5000 letters from you. I only want three words

Um, okay…
