Movie '96 (Tamil) Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

A teenage love that blossomed in the school
Between a shy dark sinned boy and a girl
Of his class, fair skinned and vibrant singer,
Aborted when his family shifted.

Twenty-two years later all ‘96
Batch students were called for a get together,
Where he and she met to their tensed passion.
A mother of a girl she loved him yet.

Both spent the day through all together,
She pouring him her unreserved love
As if they were in love without a break
And as if she was not a wife of someone.

He has remained single in her absence.
If she was happy in marriage, he asked.
‘I don't know but i am content.' She said.
She separated her love from marriage.

She retained her sexual love for him
And remained her husband's corporal partner.
He renewed his love well reserved for her
And found no reason to find a partner.

Love and sex are separated for good.
Both willing not for a bodily love,
Neither is he branded a paramour
Nor she is labelled as an adulterate.
