Hailing from the lush hills of Williamnagar in Northeast India, Lenisha R. Marak belongs to the vibrant A'chik tribe and speaks her heart fluently in Garo, emotion, and verse. A soft-spoken soul with a sharp pen, she writes poetry that dissects the anatomy of feeling — love, grief, trust, healing, and hope — with delicate honesty and lyrical grace.
When she's not stringing words into poems, she's vibing to 'Sun and Moon' by Phil Wickham, or snacking on her top-tier faves: broccoli, cucumber, persimmon, mango, lemon, and bamboo shoots (yes, in that order) .

Love is pure,
Love is trust,
Love is the warmth I long for in a hug.
Love is false,
...
Grief is quiet,
Grief is loud,
Grief is the silence that screams in a crowd.
Grief is sudden,
...
Dear Anxiety,
Aren't you tired of sticking with me?
You keep on telling me that I am not good enough inside my head,
And I was fool enough to believe what you said..
...
Feel my kiss
When the wind blows,
Remember my voice
When the river flows.
...
Easy to take,
But hard to give.
Easy to lose,
But hard to win.
