Somanathan Iyer Poems

Body trembles in turbulent strife
Life flutters as lamp in wind
Unmindful Times move on!
...

Don’t stop! Keep moving
Lest you are overtaken
Next you are pushed back
...

Punctured Ozone layer
Rising temperatures
Threatening global warming
...

Emotions and feelings of a
Single person with literary touch
Give birth to poets and authors
...

To read to ponder over I write
Applaud or abhor in your hands
Popular or perennial time only decides
Encouraging words if any enthuse my moods
...

Can anyone tell me the whereabouts of God?
Is he there? Was he here? Will he be in future?
Vouch his presence all the scriptures beyond the faiths
Writings and sayings project him never an unified force
...

Drops and drops countless drops
All the rain drops falling on the earth
join together in streams and rivulets
Racing fast in reaching the rivers
...

Prone to changes that are positive or negative
Life is a challenge and remain constantly a challenge
Pushed to face situations of tough and troublesome
Bold you become unmindful of the consequence
...

Developing country called we are
even while nearing seventy years
Fortunate may be generations to come
if not branded under-developed
...

Where we are heading for we don’t know for ourselves
Up above somewhere God must be repenting for creating us
Created He everything in abundance and sent us to enjoy and guard
Wishful thinking His was in trusting us in guarding the Nature
...
