You Are My Mate, Written by Gopan Ambat

You Are My Mate

You’re the nervous wine where I dip my heart every night
You’re the grain bread that I savour with delight each day
You are the potable aqua to quench my thirst
You’re the laundry stone on which I beat and whiten my soul
You are the complete dream I enjoy when asleep
You’re a light, cool wind that embraces my loins in the morning
You are the melodious antham to absorb my lives
You accompany me on my voyages through destiny
You are the brilliant beloved mentor who
tame my emotions
You are the inspiration of my desire that enfolds truth
You are everything to me, feel my hunger for you
