Submissions by Maldivian poets for our poetry segment
the moment I looked into your eyes
I got lost in them
oh darling,
they held such an intensity
such depth and sincerity,
and I couldn't pull away.
oh baby,
your eyes held mine with such force,
that all I could do
was delve deep in yours.
the moment I heard your voice,
I was pulled into a singularity
I felt gravity act on me
drowning me deeper
and deeper
in your voice that held
the depth of the seven seas
the beauty of
the golden valleys
the smoothness of
a newborn's skin.
the moment I saw your smile,
my heart failed to beat
your smile was bright
much like
the sun and its stars,
the full moon tonight
your smile made me fall
deeper in love with you
more so than before.
the moment I saw you cry
I cried with you
so beautiful were your tears
raining down on your cheeks
sparkling like stars
I wanted to kiss your eyes my darling,
to drink your tears away
to swallow your despair
and to pour out my love for you,
you are my eternal love I cannot forget.
