Intoxication

when you my love, sit by my side
what need do I have of a tavern?

when in the soil of my heart, a vineyard grows
what need do I have of a tavern?

when my limbs are heavy, with fruit laden vines
what need do I have of a tavern?

when grapes crushed by your touch, yield sweet red wine
what need do I have of a tavern?

when you my love, flow in my veins
'Rwits' what need do I have of a tavern ?



153

Written as an exercise for Caferati. We had to write a ghazal in English on the theme of 'intoxication.'
