Even harder.”

PoetryI caught your eyes,
And for the briefest of moments,
I caught a glimpse of the light and wonder
That the stars and the universe conspire to hide
Behind the brown of your hair and the dark of the night.
– Anisah Hamid
Original WritingThe aim of my poetry is for people to feel heartbroken without ever having fallen in love.
My Burning Muse
Original PoetryMy burning muse haunts me
long after I spread love’s ashes
into the ocean in which it drowned.
The Colour Black
Original PoetryHave you noticed how poetic the colour black is?
It’s the colour of the night sky
as a blanket of stars smothers daylight.
It’s the colour of ash
as a finger of fire traces the scars of the earth.
It’s the only colour you can see
through the darkness as it suffocates you.
It’s the colour of the ink
used to write this very poem.
