Yesterday I Was the Moon

you remind me of my favorite metropolis sparkling, loud yet hauntingly sad when the light goes outyour confidence; a popular skyscraper your sadness; an old orphanage your anger; a call of riotyour tears; an uninvited stormi cannot thank you enoughfor reminding me that cities too breathe and humans too carry a heart of concrete{my favorite metropolis}

I didn't think I would like this because the style isn't my cup of tea, but I found this collection lovely and I liked the illustrations too.

“the most beautiful thing in this world isn't made
up of particles. it's the strength of a person who
has seen the collapse of their world, everything
they held dear crashing down in a million pieces.
yet every morning, they wake up and build their
life, all over again. mourning their loss in a
tranquil silence. i haven't yet seen
anything more astonishingly beautiful.”

Noor Unnahar you truly are the only brightest light in the darkest night. thank you

This was a lovely read. Noor is a poetess with the heart and ability to shake your foundation. Her book is filled with beautiful imagery found in both her words and her sketches. I had a wonderful bit of moments reading through this one and would be delighted to read her again.
