the desk drafts

Hi, my name is Manasvi, and this is one of my dream projects. Join me on my journey as I create and perform poetry. I'm here to turn pages of work into pieces of art and walk you through some beautiful aspects of life that have been the subject for my writings. I hope to capture hidden elements around us and weave those with familiar emotions to create a space for all of us to connect and heal. Here's to finding beauty within and beyond.

    the symphony of age

    nobody talks about brown eyes

    And the wait's finally over! I'm back with my first slam - "Nobody talks about brown eyes". The poet is reminded of some beautiful elements and experiences on suddenly crossing paths with a stranger with brown eyes. The poet takes a moment to appreciate the depth, tapestry of emotions yet a simplicity that one may not notice hidden behind those eyes by drawing parallels with the color brown.
