Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Hello, My dear Vendor!
‘Could you sell me a guitar? ’
‘Why not, come in, my Master!
Take it, a brand new, for a hundred.’
...

You nurture, of course, your posture
For a strike, like a match.
Also have in store enough coal,
Once struck, to keep it in glow.
...

I like you to my heart;
I can’t spell it out;
I won’t let it out.
...

Near the tube-light, on the wall
stood a lizard, with steadfast head,
catching its prey. How many killings?
...

The sexy for the sensual,
The fragile for the sturdy,
The comely for the royal,
The modern for the elite,
...

Who said that you are aged?
Why should you fear being caged?
You may be not in prime age
Nor on the verge of bearing age.
...

Venus you are; Mars I am not.
Juliet you are; Romeo I am not.
Yet for you my thirst is little not
Whether I deserve you or not,
...

A girl next door is the nectar
For a boy who has no one sweeter.
For her, none is absolute viewer.
So I loved her to my heart. Did she?
...

Not that I had none
Or that bad is mine,
I want your toy.
...

Are you dark? No regret!
The White will never resist you.

Are you a plump? Not to worry!
...
