Insta poems by Rupi Kaur to fill up your soul

A writer, illustrator, Insta-poet and a performer, Rupi Kaur don many hats. Rupi rose to fame instantly with her debut self-published book Milk and Honey in 2014 which had hit the New York Times Bestseller list in 2017 after selling millions of copies. This fresh star in the world of poets has made her point and here are few Insta-poetry posts made by the shining social star!

yesterday
the rain tried to imitate my hands
by running down your body
i ripped the sky apart for allowing it

i could not contain myself any longer
i ran to the ocean
in the middle of the night
and confessed my love for you to the water
as i finished telling her
the salt in her body became sugar

it took a long time to become
such a sweet rebellion
back then i refused to water my roots
till i realized
if i am the only one
who can be the wilderness
then let me be the wilderness

while we sat awakened for the first time
we hadn't touched yet
but we managed to travel in and out
of each other with our words
our limbs dizzying with enough electricity
to form half a sun

what is it with you and sunflowers he asks

i point to the field of yellow outside
sunflowers worship the sun i tell him
only when it arrives do they rise
when the sun leaves
they bow their heads in mourning
that is what the sun does to those flowers
it's what you do to me

how is it so easy for you
to be kind to people he asked

milk and honey dripped
from my lips as i answered

cause people have not
been kind to me

when you start loving someone new
you laugh at the indecisiveness of love
remember when you were sure
the last one was the one
and now here you are
redefining the one all over again

on the last day of love
my heart cracked inside my body
