A Safe Snail Way Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

We make love in the way.
You carve for me that way,
That no one but I know.
It’s the safe way, you show.
I knew I wouldn’t deviate.
I shall love you in the way,
Without embarrassment,
Without predicament,
But with subtle engagement.

I knew your carved way.
You want to fish, and fish
Without hands becoming wet.
I shall be your safe bet.
Let us love in your way.
My drive is to make you gay.
Just the love you repay.
Your way is like a snail.
I suppose it is a safe sail.
