Love Is Not Gift. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Be it love that makes the lovers flutter
With joie de vivre in their pursuit of love.
Be it not the gift that makes the lovers flutter.
The expensive gift need not bring results.
Be a gift you give, a token of love,
And not to sound as a bribe or a bait
To the partner, which will dampen her love.
Intimacy and transparency will do.
Empathy and identity will do.
Must there be chemistry to strike the deal.
