Fearing Parting Binds Us Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

You had expressed your concern for me,
Your anguish for my impending leaving,
And your sorrow in missing me forever,
That I heard through our common friend.
It has come from you, a woman of repute.
It has come from you a darling of many.
It has come across the unbridged valley.
Expressively bold or intensively
Fond you are, to reveal it to third man.
I felt as if I’ve consummated you.
I forget you not, without a right on.
Forget me not, with a right to call.
