Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi Poems

Heart, be calm,
The one you expect,
Will come back,
Wearing of armors,
...

The greens of land,
Four seasoned and broad,
Inhabitant sparse,
Cows silently graze,
...

When no one looks for us,
Let us have the strength,
Not long for them anymore,
Not wait for the comforts from their calls,
...

The paper boats that are folded,
With cute little fingers and hands,
Waiting for the rain to run collecting the mud,
From the streets of haunted visuals,
...

The laps of these two mothers are warm,
To cuddle and squeeze to keep in their palms,
If warmth is the temperature of love,
Then they have the love in their burning stove,
...

You are too pampered,
Always want to be patted,
Rubbing of your thinking head,
Make you to feel sedated,
...

Let us see how civilized these people would be,
When they are left with a week long power cut,
Not running water taps, credit cards repossessed,
The next destination not known and confused.
...

Be composed; don’t take the next flight,
When you are toasted under the hot sun,
Left with cloudy water and surrounded by the flies,
When your leather shoes are smeared with dirt,
...

The well travelled path,
Is full of smoke and booze,
Weeds are crushed,
Mild cough is formed,
...

Are you one of the four wives,
Visited by your husband every four days,
Wake up, woman, fight for your rights,
You don’t have to wait for a womanizer to arrive,
...
