Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Woman is a tree with bearing;
Men throng her like birds and cattle
...

Which is the universal happiness
Cutting across man and animals
Across the sex, across the age
Other than ‘to love’ and ‘to be loved’?
...

Having lived and traveled for a decade,
I have had a fair knowledge of Andaman’s
...

When you deliver judgment
Take off you your heart.
...

Pleasure and pain limit to sensory nerves.
Pride and disgrace get to center nerves.
Neglect and abandonment pierce to its core.
There lies hell the old must learn to live with.
...

I sought a third lady to bridge
For me to reach my lady.
The bridge was on half way
By when I was taken away.
...

Buy a ticket for me, can you buy,
Could you buy, would you buy
And will you buy, all are requests,
The last one is more pleasing
...

Woman surveys man’s soulders
To find how strong it is to hold her.
Men surveys woman’s bottom
To see how solid it is to bear him.
...

She is a jewel.
I love to get her.
I love to keep her.
I love to guard her.
...

First deserve;
Then desire.
Will the desire hear it
To avoid despair?
...
