Poetry

you need not fear poetry
for its mystery
and secret ways
rather you should love
and only then
will you know
her name
her voluptuous voice
will wake your blood
her touch still warm
the air around you
and your extended heartbeat
will be living proof
that my invitation
is real


Konai Helu Thaman
