Because You Are With Me
RANJITH SIVARAMAN
When my quaver meets
a premature death in my throat, When I curl up like a Chartreux Why bother, because you are with me. When my eyes meet a deep sea of darkness in my nights, When I see no face with warmth Why bother, because you are with me. When my heart hangs like a beehive on an abandoned mesquite tree, When I sink like an over ripe coffee cherry Why bother, because you are with me. When my soul evaporates into a fragrant cloud, When I rain like mistified drops Why bother, because you are with me. |
