Three Micropoems by Priyalakshmi Gogoi

Dust

This time the petrichor felt different

Like I wanted to rub it all over my skin 

Feeling her words that mingled 

With the dust leaving a trail 

Of her poetic soul.

□

Flow into You

There's a brook of emotions 

flowing silently inside me 

Calm yet melancholic

Crooning along the ups and downs 

Flowing to meet you one day...

□

What Love is Not

Love is not about domination.

It's not about showing supremacy 

but it's all about how you make 

each other feel at home. 

It's about giving each other that space 

to love oneself and feel the freedom.
