-Oh Beloved- 
Oh Beloved, 
Take me. 
Liberate my soul. 
Fill me with your love and 
release me from the two worlds

The Sun never says to  
The Earth,  
'You owe me'

-Kamala Das- 
 
Don’t write in English, they said, English is 
Not your mother-tongue. 
Why not leave 
Me alone, critics, friends, visiting cousins, 
Every one of you? Why not let me speak in 
Any language I like? The language I speak, 
Becomes mine, its distortions, its queernesses 
 
All mine, mine alone 
 
- Kamala Surayya
