Originalpoetry Stories

A song of winds, I'll sing for you On wings of zephyr from skies of blue, Lines of heartfelt emotion Or silly ideas in a poem. Each of these will be a part Straight to you, from my heart. If you like one part and not others, If you leave a star on it, I'll know your druthers.

If you find a piece of yourself in these words, I hope it brings you comfort, or at least reminds you that you're not alone.

Filled with sad, heart felt poetry, and weeks worth of work. Hope u enjoy it :)

**Before I Could Begin** What happens when everyone decides who you're supposed to become before you even discover who you are? A poem about expectations, comparison, academic pressure, freedom, identity, and the quiet feeling of being trapped inside a life that was never entirely yours. Maybe growing up is just learning which parts of yourself were truly yours to begin with.

Get ready to meet her in my words , your imagination. You'll realise there's someone in your life, Whom you can call 'Cupcake ".

I, Lavanya Y. Rao, have just started writing, and this poem is something very close to me. It is inspired by what I have seen from my own window-the workers I watched every morning, their quiet lives, and the thoughts that stayed with me as I watched them work. Sometimes we see people every day without ever knowing their stories. This poem is my small attempt to turn that experience into words. I hope you will read it, and if you like it, please vote and leave a comment. Your support would mean a lot to me as I begin my journey as a writer. ❤️

The Planes Above Hauz Khas is a nostalgic poem about a young girl who once believed that every airplane flying over her home carried her wishes into the sky. As she grows older, she learns the truth about where planes are going, but she never completely loses the magic of her childhood belief. It is a gentle reflection on dreams, hope, and the little things we carry with us as we grow. About the Author I, Lavanya Y. Rao, am a new and aspiring writer. I find inspiration in the simple moments and little experiences of everyday life. I wrote The Planes Above Hauz Khas after watching a plane fly above my house and imagining the wishes and dreams it might carry away with it. Through this poem, I wanted to bring back the innocence of childhood and the beautiful belief that our wishes can somehow find their way to the places where they can come true.

Some things don't leave you. They become part of you. Despite Everything, Here I Am is a collection of poetry about love, grief, anxiety, heartbreak, anger, survival, and the pieces of ourselves we lose along the way. These poems weren't written from the other side of healing. They were written in the middle of it-in the moments when everything hurt, when nothing made sense, and when simply continuing felt like an act of defiance. This isn't a story about coming out untouched. It's about being changed by everything that tried to break you-and still being able to say: Despite everything, here I am.

A collection of poems written along the way. Some are about wounds that refuse to fade. Some are about identity, memory, beauty, loss, and the strange contradictions within us. Others simply ask questions that have no easy answers. From watching the first rains through a closed window to becoming ensnared in another person's music, Journey is a collection about growing, falling, remembering, and trying to understand what it means to move forward. Perhaps a journey isn't about reaching somewhere. Perhaps it's about everything we become along the way.

Karan vs. The Tarka is a light-hearted, humorous poem inspired by a very real-and rather frustrating-experience. It tells the story of Karan, who finds himself in an unexpected battle with the powerful aroma of his neighbour's tarka. What begins as an ordinary cooking smell soon becomes a daily struggle of sneezing, escaping rooms, and trying to survive the next round of spices. Behind the humour is a simple everyday experience that inspired me to write this poem. I became quite sick because both of my neighbours essentially had the same cook, whose tarka was, unfortunately for me, not the easiest thing to live with! While she cooked, I would sneeze constantly, and afterwards I would often end up with a terrible cold. Instead of simply being annoyed by it, I decided to turn the experience into something funny and write a poem about it. About the Author - Lavanya Y. Rao I'm Lavanya Y. Rao, a new writer who has only recently started exploring the world of writing. I'm still finding my voice, experimenting with different kinds of stories and poems, and learning with every piece I write. This poem is one of my attempts to take a small, everyday annoyance and turn it into something readers can smile about. I hope you enjoy Karan vs. The Tarka as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you enjoyed the poem, please vote and leave a comment. Your support means everything to me as a new writer and encourages me to keep writing and sharing more. ❤️

🖤Disclaimer: This poetry collection is about sexual desire of a woman for a man that keeps appearing in her dreams. So some poems may contain some explicity, sensual words, etc. . . . . He once appeared in my dream... Then he appeared for the second time... He appeared again in my dream. Is he trying to say something? That is an answer I cannot find. It happened again this week, like it always does. Is he trying to tell me that he is mine? - EVA

Every soul carries a quiet storm. 'The Fallen Verses' is an intimate look into the unspoken words of the unconscious mind. For the dreamers, the broken, and those who still search for a spark in the dark.

About the Poem The Life She Sweeps is a quiet reflection on exhaustion, invisible work, and the lives we sometimes find ourselves living without ever choosing them. Through the simple image of a woman sweeping a staircase, the poem explores the weight of routine, lost dreams, and the silent emotions hidden behind ordinary moments. About the Author I am Lavanya Y. Rao, a new writer who has recently started writing poetry. I write about my thoughts, emotions, and the little things I come across in everyday life.

A poem about facing challenges, overcoming fear, and continuing to move forward even when the future feels uncertain. It reminds us that courage isn't the absence of fear, but the choice to keep going despite it.

"She roamed the earth with gentle love and felt the pain that laughs at us..." Growing up is a journey of quiet prayers, hidden battles, and unexpected heartaches. We walk through life wearing smiles that cover our deepest fears, hoping someone will notice the look behind our eyes. This poetry collection captures the unfiltered emotions of navigating life, love, heartbreak, and self-discovery and exploring the human heart. From the nostalgic dreams of childhood to the bittersweet ache of watching the ones we love grow up. For anyone who has ever felt lost or misunderstood. I hope you find this a safe place. It is a gentle reminder that while the journey of becoming who you are is messy, you never have to walk it alone.
