The Lover Speaks To His Heart Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

A lover likes to meet his sweetheart
Arranged by the confident maid
in a trysting place every night;

The faithful MAID refuses to continue
And conveys to the Hero her inability;

The hardships you have to meet out
while you come through the darkness
to reach this place every night;

And the fear of thy neighbors come to know
And what they may speak ill of you both;

It is better you both get married
And that is good for both of you;

In Response,
THE LOVER SPEAKS TO HIS HEART;

O' MY HEART,
Pleasant opinions about you might be lost,
Unpleasant rumors might spread against you;

Like an unburnt fresh mud-pot
Absorbing the showered rain water;

Uncontrolled love makes me
to swim against the flooded river of desire,
You like to assume the precious one.

As if a female monkey with her baby,
embraced by her baby securely
helps to climb atop the tiny branch of a tree;

If you could get someone
who listens your notion;

And understands your grief
who can help to solve the issue;

your struggle is worth it
to reach the secret site;

I will have the pleasure
of meeting my sweetheart!
