Rajendran Muthiah Poems

When the breeze was waking up my soul
I beat my wings up and flowered full.
When it changed into a devastating gale
my sensational heart blew itself out.
...

Don't say the government has no business
to do business with the farmers' produce.
You send satellites of other nations
from our country's launching pads for pelf.
...

Even monks will be lured to sink in delight
If they see thy smiles, the magic-carriers,
Which cause my eyes lose the sharp rays of sight
but your looks rattle my eyelids, the barriers.
...

For what you loose on your ingratiating smiles,
for carnal pleasure or for entry in my heart?
I'm not clever to know, a woman's wiles
If grief comes, I'll show it in my face with art.
...

I rang up my goddess to have a talk
of heart to heart to clear some lingering doubt.
Declining my call, she was in a busy walk
beside a bus as if in a boxing bout.
...

My rose grins amiable at me
and says bye from her sparkling eyes.
My body feels a burst of speed
when I see an amusing gleam
...

Abdicate the throne of my heart and get ‘way
With all your smiles, fake sulks and sudden glares.
Don't push the friends to engage in a love-fray
And bear the pangs of envy and rumour-wares.
...

I'm not skilled to paint the charm of your face
and catch you when you on the porch, flit.
Did you descend down from a heavenly race
to activate my sleeping wits a bit?
...

Your smiles aren't crafty but captive
of hearts temptable and lecherous.
When you offer smiles in plenty
from low to high, the bard to lord,
...

The goddess isn't the perennial river
for all those here and there to dip and bathe.
When rogues and brutes come near, they must shiver
and go off you, Gazalle, in good faith.
...
