Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

She knows that I love her.
She knows that I led her
To know that I love her.
She shows not her love.
...

Venders are at door.
Why should she go out for shopping?
She can accept or reject.
A woman is adamant in love shopping.
...

Cheep is she, who I can get.
But to get access, my pride forbids.
The other is worthy to befriend.
But to get her, her pride forbids.
...

As a lad I had my eyes on every lass,
That never led me to believe then that
As an old, I would retain the same lustful eyes
To suffer humility at the hands of women.
...

Is it because I am a Montague
And that you are a Capulet
That we seek for an outlet?
...

A man at deathbed is full of tears,
Not that he leaves the pleasure of the world
But that how his cherished things would be handled
And that how he would be judged and weighed..
...

A demure lady was near my sight.
I could not sleep, try as I might.

I was beset; my heart in a glow.
...

It is your dress, cleanliness and manner,
Not your skin, countenance, and glamour,
That earns you a woman’s concern.
...

Stray dogs are saved; wild birds are saved.
Tigers are guarded; tuskers are guarded.
Bull fights and cock fights are stopped
Thanks to animal crusaders.
...
