Casuistical Lover Poem by Rajendran Muthiah

Either you must have been forbidden to receive
messages from me or you would have hated
to see my words as you have not yet confessed
your love to me. Like the falls in hills
you poured down showers of smiles on me
and spoke to me a few words of affection
which I took them for true love though I couldn't forget.
When you repulsed my messages and love
how I was turned into grievous and mad!

Being flippant you could have forgotten me with ease
but how could this mind forget you, my inspirer?
Your last warning message has bound my mind
to be silent as a pusillanimous man.
I don't know the casuistic way of speaking
and trapping the innocents into tricks.
You never flinched away while seeing me
but clenched my heart in your gripping fists
for the first time to make me the loser!
