Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

He does not fevour terrorism,
Nor support terrorists either.
However, he is not to betray them
Who represent his religion.
...

The purpose of my pursuit of you
Is not attaining you corporally.
It’s just to win over your heart and
Ensure myself of my worthiness.
...

A woman can massage a man
Without getting her arousal.
She cannot stop her arousal
If he happened to massage her.
...

Knowledge is wealth.
Labour is wealth.
Courage is wealth.
Anyone can become wealthy.
...

Use your cleverness to help others.
Use your alertness to show concerns.
Use your boldness to join the cause.
If you use these for you, you’ll repell.
...

A flea that bit you had bitten me too.
The two bloods mingled for single blood.
The flea’s body is our marriage lobby.
Neither shame nor sin would accrue since than.
...

Being amused, being enthused,
Being safe and being at rest
Are the moments of happiness.
...

Wax exhausted, or being blown out
By wind or the mouth, the candle will die.
Flesh wearing out, or being eaten
By accidents or germs, man will die.
...

Sex is neither moral nor immoral.
It is amoral, more than corporal.
Who else can man love other than woman?
He can love like none other when sexual.
...

God, will You punish for that sin
That I did when I was a child?
God, will You punish for that sin
That I did repeatedly?
