Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

I coveted, held and detested her.
The corporal presence is less endured;
I coveted, longed and pined for her.
The corporal absence is well endeared,
...

God created woman and man invented lust.
God created impulses and man found devices.
He decked out breasts, waist and pelvis,
Man crafted kisses, bites and licks.
...

When I took you in my arm
I felt having conquered.
When you took me in your palm
I felt having succumbed.
...

The Moon and Stars and rainbows
Are never failing in beauty
For they are out of our reach.
So are women across the boundary.
...

Art, if not cast,
Craft, if not shown,
Thought, if not spelt,
And love, if not flown
...

‘Love is at the first sight’
Is of William Shakespeare.
‘While the one eludes
Must the other pursue.’
...

Love is admired
From prose and verses.
Love is adored
From sonnets and ballets
...

Boy: The small is beautiful, see the Sparrow!
Girl: No, the Giant is, see the Banyan!
Boy: The tender is beautiful- yes- Flowers!
Girls: No, the hard is- yes - Statues!
...

Is it that every one
Ever seeks pleasure, never pain?
Isn’t that a woman
Courts at delivery her pain,
...

A girl is born to blossom and conceive
And is set to lure every boy with her waves,
For which she is endowed with some features
As every flower blossoms with some fortunes.
...
