Which Love Is Harassment? Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

A few men came to be my friends,
Pouring on me so much passion
With which I was pleased a great deal
Till I came to know they were gays.

Some kind of animosity
Has developed against them since,
And I resented their friendships
And found it as a harassment.

I am able to realize
How it would be a harassment
To woman when her male friends
Reveal their sexual intentions.

Non-sexual love, not welcome though,
Is not taken as a harassment.
Sexual love any when not welcome
is felt as a harassment.
