Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems
I must be the centre of attention
And reaffirm my desirability.
I must feel validated as a woman
And re-experience the romance of love.
...
Happiness is a state of mind
Instantly produced by sense
Gratification through touch, taste,
Sight, hearing and smell the desired.
...
Be grateful and be helpful.
Be grateful if not helpful.
Being ungrateful is bad.
Be helpful to one even
...
When a man stole a woman
She is branded mud and he a stud.
She is reviled and he, envied.
She is labeled a harlot and he, a starlet.
...
Cleopatra was the queen of Egypt;
Cleopatra was the queen of beauty.
She came to the throne at her eighteen
The first century BC witnessed it.
...
Death leads to birth rather than birth, to death.
Birth is close to death and not vice versa.
Every birth is at the result of a death.
Death to birth, not birth to death, is the path.
...
We are the adivasis,
Those Mundals and Santals,
Who had lived in India
Before Dravidians did,
...
Mere presence is enough
To let me know
She is there for me.
...
I show my fake smiles
To those I seek,
To those I cling to
To those I fear
...
With a wife not worth your faith
And children not fit your trust,
You are sick in spite of health
And poor in spite of wealth.
...
Wide cheeks? Let the hair hide the ears.
Broad forehead? Let the hair spills in front.
Dwarf neck? Let the hair in knot be up.
Lanky figure? Let the hair falls on shoulders.
...
Elizabeth, I fell in love with you,
Without seeing you in person.
Without being born in your days,
With a figure that I carved of you,
...
Silent glances and watchful eyes
Between two opposite genders
In a working place, silently,
Would narrate what it should not,
...
Energy drains away in discomforts.
Pain, fear and anger contribute to it.
Energy conserves well in comforts.
Peace and happiness squarely promote it.
...
Wonder, venture, adventure,
Sports, play, games,
Comedy, humor, satire,
Detective, Violence and on,
...
My father went to school on foot.
I went to school by bicycle.
My son is now going by van.
Are we growing strong or weak?
...
Every woman faces this situation
When she deals with a male companion:
Her heart will struggle between the wish
Not to be harsh to him and the fear
...
We write, with a certain readers in mind.
The targeted audience determines
The tone and the contents of the writing.
The standard of writing might differs.
...

The Best Poem Of Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar
A Woman Forty Plus Aspires
I must be the centre of attention
And reaffirm my desirability.
I must feel validated as a woman
And re-experience the romance of love.
Let be burnt the ennui of monogamy.
Let come again the sexual excitement
That I went through at my first night.
Need not the man in focus be a prince,
An emperor nor a millionaire.
Let him be the one I want to be with,
In accordance with my safety,
Proximity and convenience.
Just for a ‘love you leave you alliance.’
Yes, I must waste no time to test my worth
And remain faithful with my husband.

When I accidentally came into this site on 18th December 2011 for the first time, his name appeared on the Home page. Out of curiosity, I logged in and posted a few poems. Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar's poems talk about eternal truth, though he touches a few odd subjects here and there.
