Submissions by Maldivian poets for our poetry segment
Come to me at twilight -
we’ll chase after the moon,
following the winds
to outrun darkness bestrewn.
Come to me at midnight
we’ll drift among the stars,
searching the cosmos
for answers to lost prayers.
Come to me at first light –
we’ll stand before the sun,
beholding the birth
of new hopes and creation.
Come to me – be it
in sunlight or moonlight,
in starlight or half light
Come, and stay the night.
We’ll unravel the universe.
- R.V.
