Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Forbidden love
Has a hybrid vigour
To grow and bear
But needs
...

Love grows thicker
Whether or not together
Are she and he,
As long as
...

Courtship- if not,
Friendship- at least,
Can you sanction
In our post parting?
...

Answering to all
But not to me,
Reciprocating to all
But not to me,
...

See the snap I have taken
Of you now.
See the one you have given
Me a year back.
...

A poor conductor is
A slow emitter.
A slow growing is
A long living.
...

.

Mere the name of you
When someone mentions
...

Shown or withdrawn,
The carrot is not eaten.
But only as it is shown
The rabbit is on run
...

Out of reach stays the moon.
Is it why it is ever a beauty?
If so, you too, staying
beyond my reach.
...

Your photo is in my head.
It is often taken to my bed.
I invoke it to my loneliness.
It inspires me to perspire,
...
