Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi Poems

They have become the wonderful poets,
To praise the charm and cuteness of,
Of the celestial objects,
That grow and wilt,
...

Who has laid the dark blankets,
Hiding all good shine from the eyes,
Nocturnal animals are always here,
Chasing every other weak in despair.
...

Because of you, the earth ball revolves around me,
Because of you, the thunder echoes in the ears as the music,
Because of you, the rainbow curves my heart to shine and gain,
Because of you, the desert sun is as cool as the moon.
...

The rooster crows early morning,
But waltz in the afternoon, spreading,
One wing to the submissive not clucking hen,
The hungry crows arrive with kith and kin,
...

Brother! Buy for me a six meter long sari,
I would like to wrap on my slender body,
Hiding all my beautiful curves and bums,
From the eyes of vulture, that likes to scratch,
...

Are the hatcheries built in poor neighborhood?
Where the criminals and crooks are found,
Whenever there is a crime in the town,
The siren of security is heard in down town,
...

Red, white, pink and colorful roses,
White jasmine and Gardenia,
Wild white orchids,
Early morning balsams,
...

Smile at me, when I return from work
Don't smell at me and turn in sulk
I may build the wall out of brick,
I may fix the pipe as a trick,
...

Our village roads are not tarred and concreted,
Red soiled paths leveled and polished by our foot prints,
Our Highways are better, but built by the foreigners,
The town roads are the worst with potholes and hanging wires,
...

Thousands of years I roam around these regions,
Where I no more find my darling pigeons,
I stand here at half past three at night,
Behind me is the esplanade empty in delight,
...
