Submissions by Maldivian poets for our poetry segment
Love, they said
is the greatest flaw
And love, they warned
will be my fall
‘Cause love, you see
love will betray
For love is human
and humans destroy
So I ran from love
‘til I tripped over you
And even as I fell
in my heart I knew
That you were my flaw
and you were my fall
You’d burn my world
‘cause you, you I loved
- R.V.
