Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

When he loves a woman
As mad as he can,
In her exit,
He will love another woman
...

Alone was I born.
Alone will I be gone.
In between on stage
If I am left alone
...

Against coal in fire,
You can warm yourself
In a cold weather.
Be in a distance
...

Physical strength for bed,
Intellectual capacity for head,
Emotional maturity for mind,
Aesthetic sensibility for senses,
...

Maternal aunts over maternal uncles,
Paternal aunts over paternal uncles,
Sisters over brothers command more affinity.
Relation threads through women routs
...

One son, handicapped,
Got a post, on quota.
The other, a wholesome,
Reeled through out.
...

Rain gluts the thirsty roots.
Flies glut the lizards’ hunger.
Man’s life gluts his death when
He has enough, enough women
...

A healthy palm looks good.
A bearing palm gets value.
Women with attributes,
Excel ones with features.
...

Not an apple, stolen and bitten,
Not the wine, sore and spit,
But a Villa, just lived in
And emptied is a widow
...

On rising Pooram, on Ninth, June,
I wish you a happy birthday.
Let my wish fetch you all fortunes
As did my wish last year,
...
