I Have You Only
by Ranjith Sivaraman
When my quaver meets
a premature death in my throat
When I curl up like a Chartreux
I have you only
When my eyes meet
a deep sea of darkness in my nights
When I see no face with warmth
I have you only
When my heart hangs
like a beehive on an abandoned mesquite tree
When I sink like an over ripe coffee cherry
I have you only
When my soul evaporates
into a fragrant cloud
When I rain like mystified drops
I have you only....
a premature death in my throat
When I curl up like a Chartreux
I have you only
When my eyes meet
a deep sea of darkness in my nights
When I see no face with warmth
I have you only
When my heart hangs
like a beehive on an abandoned mesquite tree
When I sink like an over ripe coffee cherry
I have you only
When my soul evaporates
into a fragrant cloud
When I rain like mystified drops
I have you only....
