Somanathan Iyer Poems

Blessed are some with undeserved attention
Cursed are some with unjustified animosity
Life goes on with such contradictions
...

Oh! Soul seek no refuge
Under the shade of illusion!
You came here to correct your misdeeds
Lo! Instead became a captive of attachments!
...

A moon lit night I viewed the sky
Moon appeared normal
Stars twinkled as usual
In the dawn before sun rise
...

Alone is the God
adored by his creation
Alone is the creation
assisted by its Nature
...

Bound to set is the rising Sun
Bound to end is every life
Recurs the process without any recess
Nothing is eternal in this baffling creation
...

A flower in its full bloom
looks fresh and beautiful
lovers of nature plead
to enjoy it by just watching
...

I have walked a way
meant only to march forward
never can I go back
to pick up anything
...

Not really is the silence
that we claim a silence
many a sounds inaudible
to our ears exist always in vacuum
...

Remaining in obscurity
in living a life
a real curse befallen
without any approval
...

Big, enormous and majestic you are
Oh! Elephant! a giant on earth you are
in the wild you are a terror
when tamed you are a soldier
...
