Somanathan Iyer Poems

Troubled times troubled minds
Tend to walk a torrent trek
Cozy times cool minds
Carry the goal to finishing end
...

A long distance I walked so far in my path of life
Unknown to me how far still I need to cover
Weary and drowsy, forlorn by fallacies
Dreaded even to rest with dire times reaching a crest
...

A co-tenant without paying any rent
Occupied our balcony even before I moved in
Giving birth to children twice in a year
She is none other than a female cat
...

Life on earth lives on hopes
Hopes of life glow with peace
Elusive peace punctures the hopes
...

Alighting from darkness Oh! Dawn! awaken us!
Awaken our thoughts! Our spirits! Our wisdom!
Awaken our polity! Our leaders! Our future!
Awaken us to rise beyond narrow lanes of castes & races
...

Dark clouds donned the skies
Dazzling lightening devoured the ears
Deafening thunders dampened the spirits
Drops and drops dense with drops started the rain
...

Walking constantly under
the shadows of death
fearing that is meaningless
...

Paradise is a paradox by any means
Hell is in hyper action by all means
It is the earth that contains the both
Cushioned in comforts paradise it is for some
...

messengers once you were
in every part
for reaching messages
...

In my school days
when I was eleven
on a rainy day
after a down pour
...
