Metaphors in Overdrive is a heartfelt collection of modern poetry that explores the many shades of love, its warmth, its ache, and its quiet hope. Through simple, uneven lines and vivid metaphors, I invite readers into a world where emotions are raw, honest, and deeply relatable.
Inspired by the sunflower, a symbol of light, longing, and resilience, these poems capture the beauty of loving and losing, of holding on and letting go. Each page is a small universe: sometimes bright and comforting, sometimes shadowed by longing, always true to the heart’s experience.
This book is not meant to be read in order. Open to any page and let the words find you. Whether you’re searching for comfort, understanding, or a reflection of your own journey, you’ll find pieces of yourself in these verses.
Perfect for fans of contemporary poetry and anyone who has ever loved, lost, or hoped again, Metaphors in Overdrive is a gentle companion for the soul, a reminder that even in darkness, there is always a reason to turn toward the light.

Meenakshi Barik
Meenakshi Barik (Meena) is a writer and graphic designer from Shillong, Meghalaya. Graduate in Computer Applications, she brings a clean, uncluttered sensibility to her poetry, simple lines with layered feeling. Her work explores warm light and quiet shadow: the tenderness of being held, the ache of letting go, and the small, everyday moments that turn into metaphors.
Meena is the author of Depth‑Life around and Footprints, collections that look closely at people, feelings, and real‑life experiences. In her newest book, Metaphors in Overdrive, she invites readers to open to any page and let the words find them, no strict order, just truth, breath, and space.
When she isn’t writing, Meena is behind a camera or reading; she loves noticing the details most of us miss. Her style is honest and accessible, poems that feel like conversations you’ve been waiting to have.
