Love poem No. 37 :WORLD TO ME A WILDERNESS

WORLD TO ME A WILDERNESS

For the taste of his teeth
My breasts cry and die;
For the feel of his life
My womb throbbs in vain.

            The star is for the sky,
            The ship for the seas;
            Fish is for the waters,
            Lotus for the sun.

If I be not for him
And he ever for me,
This world a wilderness
Though heaven for my peers.

            A day will come anon
            For us to become one,
            It cannot be long,
            For the wedding bells to sound.

Dr. Karickam
