Add Me To Pair. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

There are you, only you,
who for I long. Tell me,
what is with me wrong?

I love you, only you,
which is not a crush.
Nor a truce, but real.
Can’t you grant my wish?

Maybe one,
someone, is in your way.
In a better way I can sway.
Heed can you pay?

Sweet and sour, one likes.
Moon and stars, one likes.
Kids and kitten, one likes.

If not sweet, be I a soar;
If not a moon, be I a star,
If not a kid, be I a kitten,

To you, dear.
Take me too, with you,
along with them.
Then I am not wrecked.
A pair of eyes,
A pair of limbs
And a pair of breasts,
all in pair you have.
Take me, to pair with the other.

I can’t retreat. Upbeat is
my heart, that will repeat,
will not subside, or recede.
Don’t put me aside.

There are you.
Only you who for I live.
Show me, please,
show me that
you lull me to trance.
