A bit about me
I started writing poems in 1981 at the young age of 13, following a deep personal trauma. I needed an outlet for my raw and powerful emotions, to find relief, release and ultimately, redemption.
The topics I wrote about were very personal, private, and at times, dark – unrequited love, desire, pain, betrayal, and my budding sexuality. Many of my poems also had a spiritual undertone. The maturity and depth of my poems as a young girl belied my age, and I now believe they might have been memories from a previous life.
After a hiatus of almost 4 decades I started writing again, and I launched this poetry blog in November 2021. Memories from another Lifetime is a series of my poems written as a young girl.
My mission is to make the voice of my younger self heard. I wish to touch as many people as possible with my poems.

What did readers have to say about Desire?
Publishing a book of poems as an unknown author is not an easy task, and I am very happy and grateful for the warm reviews I have received by genuine admirers of my poetry. I hope this will enable my poetry to reach and comfort more people.
“Desire – A Love that Captures and Traps” – Ranga Iyer
What happens when a young girl decides to go on a journey seeking passionate love?
This is exactly what forms the central theme of this collection. Poems in Desire explore the sensuous depths of desire.
They talk about passion and a strong desire to form the ultimate union with the lover. The young girl, waiting to blossom into a woman is willing to enjoy every embrace, touch, and strong feel of her lover while getting engulfed in flames of passion.
“Expression of raw emotions” – Balroop Singh
Desire (Memories from another Lifetime) is a collection of personal poems that explore raw emotions of a girl, yearning to step into womanhood, waiting for a lover who takes her like “a devotee.” A unique metaphor of ‘dance’ when she dances alone, conveys the depth of her passion and when she shares her innermost thoughts of “waiting for a man to dance with her”.
In the introduction to this book, Vanita wonders whether the intensity of her emotions that spilled out of her poems when she was just a teenager, could be memories and messages from her previous life! Written in a simple and straight-forward way, each poem is jam-packed with emotion.
“An outstanding collection” – John
This is an outstanding collection, the full spectrum of desire and all of its nuances and colors, set out with great insight and understanding. I would heartily recommend this, a great read.
