Love poem Kurunthogai # 368

big tree on the bank a river with perennial heavy flood

You my friend of the most soft corner, you have nothing to say except “Be tolerant saving your completion without leaving your modesty, instead of reducing it by worry”. You see I am in a critical position in-between two-side attack; one side the young and old people of the village is attacking by murmuring words; and on other side I am hugging him often like a big tree on the bank a river with perennial heavy flood.
