Somanathan Iyer Poems

shadowed by death
proceeds the life
in between comes
bonds and attachments
...

Every life ends with death
Yet unknown is the complexity!
Death is an enigma! Death is a companion!
Death is the answer! Death is the beginning!
...

Neither a case of malnourished
nor a case of under privileged
A new breed now emerged
Representing the term modern poverty
...

Greed came to earth
along with first life
swayed by greed
opened was Pandora's box
...

Surrounded by trees
situated near a pond
lies there a tiny land
that remained always barren
...

out stretch your arms
for acts of friendship
never stretch your arms
for begging any favors
...

Comparison is the cause for all conflicts in the minds
Expectation is the cause for all worries that are endless
Attachment is the cause for all sins that get accumulated
Blinded is the human mind by impacts of the mysterious illusion
...

Dark under the trees and bright under the skies
Sparkling over the waters and shining over the hills
Intoxicating many and infuriating some
Marking silver lines around the clouds
...

Solo liner seldom express the thoughts
Two liner shayari gives the slip as always
Haiku the three liner hops away from my hold
Traditional four liners treating me par below
...

Nothing to tell, lots to feel
Past leaving piercing pain
Standing here heart-broken
...
