5000letters:

the evening sits and sips plum wine from the collarbone of the sky. 

I’m totally stealing this line lol

That’s not remotely funny m8.

the evening sits and sips plum wine from the collarbone of the sky.

the evening sits and sips plum wine from the collarbone of the sky. 

How would you describe a gentle love

He kisses you before he goes to work, so softly that you don’t wake up, with a hand curled around your face. Once on the temple, once on the cheek and once ever so carefully on the mouth.

Logic 101

Me: *texts* I'm screaming

Azra: no you aren't i am literally on the phone with you

You were in my dream and I woke up thinking you would be beside me.

oh.

do you think its possible for someone to be born with more love to give than they'll ever get returned?

Yes and I think what you can only ever do is just find people worthy of love like that and give it to them.

writingwillows:

okay so here is the ~*news*~

later this year, I will be publishing two different things. 
(the first cover isn’t final bc a rad artist is still helping me with it)

The first is:

Letters from Medea - this is a poetry book that contains some old and some new poetry over the last two years of my writing, but most of it is from the past few months.
A lil description:


“A collection of poems that reincarnates one of the most wicked women in classical literature. It is a collection that celebrates girlhood and explores loss, anger, love and identity. These are Medea’s letters to the modern girl.”

The second is:

Saving Midori - this is a novella kinda thing, it’s probably about 200 pages. So, a short punchy story.

“A young girl in futuristic London meets a boy from the past via a film that lets them see and talk to each other through it, live. But what seems to be pure coincidence slowly reveals itself to be part of a bigger picture. In their own times, the both of them suffer a tragedy that rocks their lives, and they become part of a build-up of events that finally forces them to meet in the present day, where they are no longer the same ages, and are changed forever.”

To start off with, both of them will be published as e-books and they’ll be v.affordable and then we’ll just go from there. I don’t have high hopes, but I’ve always wanted to put ~something out there and this way I can control it. 

thank u for reading xoxo

Azra. You're beautiful and I love you :(

Thank you, peanut. Don’t be sad. Love is a great thing. 

"A poet told me she wouldn’t be able to translate one of the lines from my poem: “I love you in this..."

“A poet told me she wouldn’t be able to translate one of the lines from my poem: “I love you in this city”, and make it sound right. She said it wouldn’t sound sincere. I didn’t tell her, the person I wrote it for didn’t think so either. I would have tried to make it sound like a joke. She wasn’t getting my jokes. Instead she wrote one of my other lines on the wall: What else would it mean to be human if not a lost thing. I could have fell for her but I didn’t. Maybe when we say love, we mean a safe place to fall apart.”

I saw this poem live for the first time last night and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. So incredible.  (via 7-weeks)
