Safiyyah Manjra Poems

The pain of the heart.
After trying something which once kept you together.
Is now tearing you apart.
...

Those warm showers at night,
Which comfort us before sleep.

The kiss,
...

To me Mathematics is an Art.
See things differently,
Every new implication is another discovery.
...

Torn between worlds,
Shattered between decisions,
To find a life longing profession.
...

What would be a nice gift for myself?

I thought of maybe a new bracelet,
Or a shoe with a comfortable fit.
...

I always have this urge to feed someone,
Be someone they can rely on,
Take care of them and feel as one.
...

I am interested in publishing a book,
If anyone can help,
Please give my poetry a look.
...

Kiss me,
Beneath the stars in the cold night,
That I may stand strong and not fright.
Brush your fingers through my hair,
...

I want you to really say those words this time,
The ones which make my mind intertwine.

It has been too long with this tension.
...

Today I got accepted into my local medical school.
As a back-up in case funding for the PhD doesn't take the rule.

I grew up with a sister being partially blind.
