Love Does Not Tire. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

I find happiness in desiring you
Without an expectation of your love.
I find happiness in falling for you
Even in the absence of responses.
I find happiness in pursuing you
With the hope that you would relent for me.
Hope is there as long as you don’t reject.
Love is there as long as hope is alive.
In case hope is lost and love is turned down,
The happiness undergone can’t be taken
Umpteen number of failures in love
Kills not the spirit for a new love born.
