SACRED LOVE / THE ALLIANCE

Two recent poems by Dev Virahsawmy

LAMOUR SAKRE

Mo kamouad Edouard pa fer diferans
ant fer ti koko, fer gate, lamour
ek fer malis. Mo pa kone kifer.
Eski li dir sa pou mok mo kiltir,
pou dir ki mo lang zis bon pou lisien
- enn desarz difout fertiliz dizef?
Eski dapre li extaz erotik
li zis ekziste lor trotoir Paris?

Koir moi mo matlo, dan mo ti lavi
sorti bitasion, lamour li sakre
kan mo bieneme ek moi donn nou tou
dan tandres, kares, zouisans partaze.

Nou partaz lamour dan plezir lekor
parski samem pli gran kado Bondie.


SACRED LOVE

My friend Edouard kens no difference
between cuddling, petting, loving
and fucking. I don’t know why.
Does he mean to offend me,
meaning my tongue is dog’s breakfast
- a burst of sperm to fertilise?
Does he think erotic bliss
is only found on Parisian walks?

Take it from me, friend – a simple
rural boy I am – love’s sacred
when my lover and I share all
in kind caress and mutual bliss.

We share love in body’s joy
For this is God’s great gift.

LALIANS
papa, patron, pret, paster, profeser
tousa bann P la finn ayjak pouvoir
pou fer devlopman rim ar dominer
bayonet ar labraget; tilespri
ar lapeti pran, pran, pran san done

mama, matronn, mis, maser, mataji
nek donn zot pouvoir, get Matahari
inpoz lor nou tou vazinokrasi

Kan enn zour Bondie dan lakaz baba
ti sem zerm lamour, sa zour la li ti
anons nou nesans sivilizasion
ki sarye lalians Linga ek Yoni.

Ni patriyarka, ni matriyarka!
Nou ador lalians Yoni ek Linga.


THE ALLIANCE

pater, patron, priest, pastor, pandits
all these P’s have highjacked power
to get growth to rhyme with oppression
and bayonet with fly; and nitwits
with gusto take, take, take and never give

mater, matron, miss, mother, mataji
give them that power and Mata Hari
inaugurates viginocracy

When God did sow in woman’s womb
the seed of love, that day He
announced the birth of life
that carries Linga’s and Yoni’s Alliance.

Patriarchy no. Matriarchy no.
We adore Linga’s and Yoni’s Alliance.
