How Bold You Are, Meena! Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

A woman’s nature is not to advance,
Let alone any initiative.
Absence of rejection from the modest
Is the sign of her consent.
Absence of resentment from the
forbidden
Is the sign of concession.
A formidable and a forbidden queen,
You have rejected not, nor resented,
Rather liked, lustfully liked,
And stopped not liking
Even when I had left you for ever,
And further more, took efforts
To reach me afar over phone
To tell me and hear me on the New
Year.
A banished Duke in exile,
I am back to wheel, as the Cupid.
