Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi Poems

Peeping through the tinted window,
Of the invisible kingdom: watching below,
And around of my every acting shadow,
YOU are really my neighbor in masquerade.
...

The splattering of water,
Wake me up from slumber,
The sun is as lazy as the tenants,
Rises late after seven in the morn,
...

I have no script or a book,
To copy down to the brook,
To run over all those minds,
Squeezing the subtle thoughts,
...

When unemployed,
Why the desires are desired more?
Why the more worries are worried?
Why the needs are increased?
...

The magnificent cities are built,
The darkness of nature chased out,
Under the glorious man made lights,
The darkness of evil erupts.
...

They know them very well,
The very moment they collide,
They are like rats, mice and reptiles,
Come out in the quietness of the wild,
...

Light or heavy, you have a place in me,
Either float on me or drown in me,
Let us run through the rivers and canals,
Pump through the arteries, veins and capillaries,
...

When a message is passed,
We have to use the nice words,
When the ripe fruits can be served,
Why do we choose bitter raw and display?
...

When the heart is on fire, it loves,
When the heart is hungry, it provides,
When the heart is cold, it hates,
When the heart is frozen, it is merciless.
...

The son of that fine lady,
Has ruined her strong heart,
To palpitate as a fast drum,
To be awake and wonder until dawn,
...
