Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Many, many women
I elicited response from,
In the course of my journey
But I firmly had faith
...

Thought of love,
Its events and progress,
And pitfalls if any,
He or she must have
...

! Womanliness

Observing without
Being observed
...

Man lives by eyes.
Woman lives by ears.
He thrives by sacrifice.
She lives with her wiles.
...

Young I grew
When I got her company.
Younger I became
When she gave me company.
...

To me,
Some are nothing,
Some are pleasing,
Some are tempting
...

At twenty,
Many are pretty,
Youth in prime.
...

You shed your charm
So alarmingly.
To me still of charm
You are,
...

.

Even at your late fifty,
If someone for you is thirsty,
...

Glass bangles
On a royal hand,
Golden bangles
On a common hand,
...
