You Are My Drunkenness By Nazim Hikmet

You are my drunkenness...
I did not sober up, as if I can do that;
I don't want to anyway.
I have a headache, my knees are full of scars
I am in mud all around
I struggle to walk towards your hesitant light.

This poem is expressing love in an interesting way it is giving us different ways to describe what love feels like. He states how he believes that her love is what makes him feel as if he is "Drunk". He says how he does not want to sober up even if he could. He is saying how feeling drunk in love is a good feeling and how he doesnt want to sober up. He likes the way it makes him weak around her which is a nice way to describe loving someone.
