You Must Know

Devil Poet

You must know
What is necessity
And what is love.
Necessity is life
It is food shelter
and sex.
But love is divine
and secred.

You are my home
My food dress and sex
You are my habit
I can not live without you.

May be I am tired of you
May be I am angry
with you
May be I hate you
But finally
I return to you
to drink your salty sweats
Because you are life
I do not love
my own life.
