Hope Of Love Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

He went to the house to meet her parents
With a hidden agenda of seeing her,
The girl he was fond of getting in love.
She didn’t come to serve tea as expected.
Instead the maid came. He was disappointed,
Which it was intended that he should be.
Yes, his anxiety must be kept in wait.
However, she let him see her presence,
When he was least anticipating her,
In the veranda during his exit.
Not appearing when most expected
And appearing when least expected
Is the game a woman’s modesty plays.
Yet, like every man, he grew positive.
