I'm so delighted to have my word and image poem "Deliverance" published with @inksweatandtears.co.uk today! 🩷 Do check it out below. Poem reads:

It's valuable vulnerable work
telling the truth
in all its beautiful horror.

#InkSweatandTears #NationalPoetryDay #deliverance

We purify the universe
with a dusk of understanding
and the certainty
of fated possibilities.

"On Some Realm" - pen on paper, © N Nazir (previously published in Anti-Heroin Chic Mag, Winter issue, 2024)

I renounce all regret
and conquer shame
for I am a spark
of fire in this
vivid blink
called life.
The cosmos
dreamed me here
and my work
is not yet done.

I walk away from
what I know will only be
a stormy romance.

I've waited
nine months for this -
autumnal bliss,
alone on the park bench
with my coffee,
the crooning wind
all around me.
Yes, fine, you may
sit here but please
don't ruin it
by talking to me.

In the end
intuition propels me
to make more art.
I don't know how
to be anything else
but this: host
for the dream
that chooses me
to give it flesh.

Evening's long shadows
cast silhouettes on the street.
Wind hurries me on.

Daybreak,
wind crooning,
reluctant sun,
morning tea,
elixir of life.

Time to get the broom
out. Sweep away yesterdays,
welcome autumn rain.
