Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

The brain is sharper than the brawn.
The brawn is stronger than the brain.
The brain is a blade and the brawn, an axe.
...

Beauty is as well a burden
To woman as it is an asset
Every woman willingly bears it
As Jesus bore the Cross
...

You are the second one
Whom I love by my heart
Without seeing your face,
The God being the first one.
...

A child imitates its mother with air.
An adult imitates models to seem fair.
A child imagines a child in a doll
And enjoys tending it with fantasy.
...

My hands are uneven;
The one that seeks is long
And the other that lends is short.
...

A woman of passion married a king,
Who, a widower, fell for her beauty.
Consumed by passion, madness in heart,
She could not but love his son, so robust,
...

Romance is a chase. Both will stop doing
Once the pursued one is in the pocket.
Man skips romance soon after marriage.
Wife minds it not, getting proprietorial role.
...

A mother to her son is no more a repute
If her modesty is suspected.
A wife to her husband is no more cute
If her fidelity is suspected.
...

Rabindranath Tagore was born
With a silver spoon in the mouth.
He got connections and the Nobel Prize.
Subramini Bharathi was born
...

Man, you might be richer with wealth
But I am neither poorer,
With my bowl content with contents.
Man, you might be stronger with power
...
