Love Is Bygone Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Woman has fear when in company of man
That he would make sexual advances.
Woman has fear when with man in the bed
That he might inflict pain in perversion.
Woman has fear when she lives as single
That men take her granted to receive them.
Man has fear when in company with woman
That she would allege sexual harassments.
Man has fear when in courtship with woman
That she might convert it to a rape.
Man has fear when in favour for woman
That she may trap him as her lover.
Fear constrains from love man and woman.
Love is enacted in fantasies.
