Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

A king was in the death bed.
He was constantly musing about.
‘ A befitting funeral would follow.
His eldest son would succeed.
...

Women in India are the embodiment
Of tolerance and the epitome of patience.
She adopts herself to husband’s mould,
Suffers slavery and loses identity.
...

She had an attractive figure
With which she tempted men around.
I had wealth in enormity
With which I lured men of greed.
...

Fruits take efforts to be tasty.
Flowers take efforts to be fragrant.
They have their hidden agendas.
Women make themselves fruits and flowers.

You can read books, hear music or watch movies.
In such moments you enjoy passive time.
You can write, draw, sing or play music.
In such moments you enjoy active time..
...

A temptress, a thriller, a partner and
An apparatus a woman become
To her husband in bed in due course.
Later she is no more than a sister.
...

Don’t say that one is black that one is though.
Don’t say that one is dwarf that one is though.
Say that one is fair or flair though one isn’t.
Averment of truth will not earn you friends.
...

It is man who acts in bed;
Woman’s role is to respond.
She is the lever for his urge.
She must be his stimulant
...

No event is worth without a witness.
No affair is mirth without a knower.
If no one knows she is in love with me
Where is the derivative of pleasure?
...

Women are nervous so much for their looks
Rather than spending for their stomachs.
What does it indicate other than
That their hunger is for men’s attention?
