Dr John Celes Poems

The rotten mangoes that I threw away
Are spotted by a crow by early dawn;
By beak, he tastes them, flying on his way
To tell his friends about the food this morn!
...

‘Being alone was not good for Adam! '
So, God made Eve as his companion.
And Eve became the mother of humans;
Through labour pains, she brought forth her children!
...

Another Wedding day has come,
With you both live through Providence!
Oh, what a day of happiness -
God's mercy bountiful is upon you!
...

‘We'll miss you very much! ' I say truly;
You did your job so well and yet gladly;
The void you leave will be felt quite badly;
The toughest works, you carried out coolly!
...

Ninety years of earthly life;
Seventy years of polity;
Statesmanship par excellence;
Doctor Kalaignar Karunanidhi!
...

With patient calmed by local spray –
Anaesthetic, that aids entry,
A tube that bends and twists and turns,
With optic fibres – Endoscope!
...

If you had done your mite with all your might,
And shared your ken with men, women,
And left your craft as an art in every heart,
Who want you not to part or depart,
...

The only one who truly cares for me
Is God Almighty only, and just Him;
The only Friend in earthly life truly
Is God, who fills this vessel to the brim.
...

I bought a house, one newly built,
By loans from sources two;
My family yet, I could not shift,
I didn't know what to do.
...

The many things I bought and gave ones loved
Were not so well received with gratitude;
My gifts of surprise kept their hearts unmoved,
And I couldn't understand their attitude.
...
