Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi Poems

Dust is full of mites, microbes and earth,
When we smell it we may sneeze and get flu,
When we blow it, we may spread it near and afar,
What vertebrate could have come out of it?
...

Vultures not aware that they are torturers,
Eagle may assume that they are simple predators,
Circling above the ground, enjoying the breezy wind,
looking down with deep eyes only for one thing.
...

If aura can numb the senses,
The tactic can be used for offenses,
Stand beside the human we desire,
Loan, loot and love can be ours.
...

Please, don't go in there, where you can't be with me,
Nauseous air, millions of microbes, though cools below sixteen,
Come out and look at me, waiting just far away as the omnipresence,
I have the coldest brain, emitting fastest signals in hottest pause,
...

Walking through the same street day and night,
Knowing each and every pothole that knock the toes,
Picturesque alms bowls with sticky legs and sticks,
In front of the Gods, at the sides of the roads,
...

The hearts made of Iron metal,
Always attracted to the worldly magnets,
Not by the Gold, that has high standard,
Let us Change our hearts into the gold,
...

No one had seen me, when I greeted them,
No one had observed me, when I served them,
No one had gazed at me, when I passed by them,
No one had have heard my heart’s beat, when I was nearer to them.
...

City by city, happiness and sorrow made,
with festivals of birth, lights and death,
Herds of color felt satisfied and had good wine,
from winery of thought brewed for years
...

How hard I have tried,
To remove the hard stains,
On my heart and I have used,
The toughest stain remover,
...

My quest to find out who I am,
not succeeded as my thought,
always jammed at the junction,
of trivial matters of pitiful self,
...
