    About this ebook

    Khaty is a poem composed of 40 stanzas. Sometimes, we feel too much love within us that there is nothing we can do but very quickly write a poem to the eternal muse; otherwise, we would burn. Khaty is one of such poems. It is a poem that the author felt compelled to write, as inspired by his muse, and for his muse – Khaty.

     

    I

    I love you 

    With more reasons than my heart can hold

    With a love far reaching deep within 

    Even if the fires of life turn dark and cold

    Even if I sweat blood upon my skin 

    For heat rain earth and wind

    Anything

    Everything

    Leads me to you

     

    XIX

    I love you 

    And in our love house 

    With many rooms

    I carried you from couch to couch

    We painted rainbows on our skin 

    As you planted a heavy kiss on my mouth

    And now each breath enters and leaves my body

    Tainted with the flower from your lips 

    That red flower 

    Reminding me 

    To be kissed again
