You Not I, May Forget Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar
You Not I, May Forget
If I forget,
The earth may forget the Sun and the Moon.
If I forget
The sweet heart I revolved round for breath,
May I die lowlier than a street dog,
Abandoned, orphaned and unattended-
If I forget.
Though you forget,
No ill will be of mine to tarnish you.
Though you forget,
You gave me the right to love and court you.
You may withdraw it, which is your right.
You still are my queen and I still your slave-
Though you forget.
The pleasure got, will stay as a treasure.
17.02.2008 [inspired by one from Thomas Hardy
You still are my queen and I still your slave- Though you forget. -----------Nah! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! You are my KING and always will be, for you hold the key to my heart.........sweet write! ! ! Love, Heart

you forgot to mention that you imitated very closely Edmund Gosse: If I forget, The salt creek may forget the ocean, If I forget The heart whence flowed my heart’s bright notion, May I sink meanlier than the worst, Abandoned, outcast, crushed, accurst, - If I forget. Though you forget, No word of mine shall mar your pleasure, Though you forget, - You filled my barren life with treasure, You may withdraw the gift you gave, You still are queen, I still am slave, Though you forget.
