Wants Are Stronger Than Love Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

A flower in a vase, I love.
But one in garden, I want.
An apple bought, I love.
But one plucked, I want.
A puppy in-door, I love.
But the one next door, I want.
A parrot in cage, I love.
A mina outside, I want.
A diamond on finger, I love.
But the one on nose, I want.
The music from media, I love.
But the one in person, I want.
A print of an actress, I love.
But that of my sweetheart, I want.
The woman who cares, I love.
But the one who I care, I want.
Dear, you are intangible.
Dear, I want you terribly.
