Hi, thank you for reading my micro poems about desire, risks, and the attempts at being unforgettable.


 

I might
send a photo
I’ll regret tomorrow.

you asked
what I’m wearing —
I can’t describe
the nothing on.

 


 

I’m here
inventing our futures
— all of them reckless.

the thrill
was never between the sheets.
it was
the wait.

 


 

do only the breathtaking ones
get fantasized about?

what about
the rest of us?

do we get
even a glance?

can I say something —
anything —
that stays in your head?

 


 

even record players
break down

not you on a loop —
my necklace
caught in your head

to drive
you
crazy —

how I walked
the road
of my shoulder blade
with my slow fingers.

About The Article Author:

Hi, I’m Rachana. Its been my dream for years to do something to consciously create a better future where every one of us is excited about our own potential. My challenge to everyone is that they aspire for their personal best and leave a legacy of their work through their contributions to mankind.

One more thing. In December of 2044, I hope to win the Nobel.

Will you join me on this journey of growth and transformation?
Namasté.

That Will Leave a Mark – A Poem by Rachana

That Will Leave a Mark – A Poem by Rachana

In a locked hotel room, two people are orbiting each other in loaded silence. There is desire, there is restraint, and there is the tyranny of civility. They choose not to act, and that becomes the bruise that lingers the longest. Thank you for reading.     ...

ఎన్నో భయాల్లో ఇది ఒకటి – A Poem by Rachana

ఎన్నో భయాల్లో ఇది ఒకటి – A Poem by Rachana

నాలోని భావాల లోతు వినిపించాలంటే,తెలుగు తప్ప నాకు మరో భాష తెలియదు.నిజంగా చెప్పాలంటే, తెలుగులోనే చెప్పాలంటే —ఈ పదాలు, ఈ వరుసలోనే రాయాలి. నీ కోసం శ్వాసల సముద్రం నింపుకుంటా,కానీ నీ తలపు తీరాన్ని తాకగానేనా ఊపిరి ఆవిరైపోతుంది —మిగిలేది నీ జ్ఞాపకాల తడి మాత్రమే. కోపం వస్తోంది...
