Rajendran Muthiah Poems

Is she the nightingale of Mauritian vale
or the girl blind destined to rule the world?
Spellbound was the audience by her vocal gale
and for her melodies all their ears sold.
...

Hail you all decreed leaders of graft
coming out of the jails on bails.
You grease the palms of the voters
and seize the power to sell the jobs
...

Being ensnared by the lightning in your eyes
I lose my balance and tumble.
The smile which flits across your face is nice.
But woe to it! Fails to make me fumble.
...

A Tiger's Walk-out from the Zoo
I am the Royal Bengal Tiger, ‘Nethra'
survived for two years in the Vandalur Zoo
eating silently the rotten meat meagre.
...

I am the royal Bengal tiger,
‘Nethra' is my name.
Would I go out on bail
from the Chennai-Vandalur zoo?
...

Do the pupils of the villages need
the study of a medieval tongue
built from the bricks of Bharath, the priests to feed
and keep all the natives in the lowest rung?
...

O my lovely heart lies there frozen still
and fills with grief this vast eternal world!
No more I can see the smiles flashing rill
and her soul is off this earth's pull, you behold!
...

I ran along with the flowing rivers
but at the glance of goons felt shivers.
I sprang fast with the whooshing deer
but had for the brutes inner fear.
...

When she put some packs of snacks in my hands,
I'd say, " Thanks for your love and affection! ".
" No! Just I share the eats what my mum sent me",
She'd hum with casual looks.
...

Strikes at heart the sudden striking thought,
in a flash of words with rhyming sounds.
With gold and glee, the lines can't be bought
and sleepless are the poets by these good hounds.
...
