Somanathan Iyer Poems

Alone I am with nothing left to atone
Invaded by ill luck wading through my times
Heaven is this world when money is there
Hell is the same when nothing could be afforded
...

If the air that we breathe stops! Imagine!
If the waters that we use disappear! Imagine!
If the Sun and Moon from which we benefit shun their duties!
Imagine! Gloom and doom everywhere!
...

The moment after birth starts the journey of life
Everyone has a road in tune with their deeds
An engineer with no par in excellence
God laid our roads marking our joys and jolts
...

A small stone thrown in calm waters
Create ripples throughout its surface
A choice of words uttered in bad taste
Spoils the moods causing deep anguish
...

The glowing moon scattered clouds
the blowing wind at times gentle breeze
blooming flowers flowing river
smiled the nature with all its charm
...

just in conversing style
scribble a few lines
each line break
into three or four
...

sleepless nights are peace less too
eluded by sleep engulfed by thoughts
runs back the memoirs to childhood days
while scenes open up one by one
...

Beautiful is every flower in Nature
Not all of them used for worship
Blossoms love in every heart
Not every love ends in wedlock
...

Wants or desires in whatever name they are called
Keep drilling the mind whether it is active or in slumber
In darkness even the inseparable shadow ceases to exist
But wants and desires will never leave us even in dreams
...
