Once i knew not his form! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
A superb poem from a great Indian poetess. With a touch of philosophical thought it brought the union of Shiva and shakti to mind. Their desire the cause of creation carrying all the nuances of love.....in a beautiful poetic expression.
Why care I for their quick sterile sting, while/My body's wisdom tells and tells again/That I shall find my rest, my sleep, my peace....sparkling expression! I have read almost all of your poems carrying great impact! I congratulate you the great Indian poetess!
Betray me? Yes, he can, but never physically Only with words that curl their limbs at.... kamala das the great indian writer.. fine poem. tony
The difference between what we perceive and want to believe leads us into strange places. Sometimes the place is where we don't want to be..
My body's wisdom tells and tells again That I shall find my rest, my sleep, my peace Nice poem And even death nowhere else but here in My betrayer's arms.
