Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

In love with my pet, I did many acts,
Sensing that it liked each of my acts.
It was not to condemn but ready to amend,
When it disapproved of any of my acts,
...

I hinted, suggested,
Reminded, sounded
And pleaded you with
A request to visit me
...

Songs in familiar tongue,
Sung by the admired voice
Captivates one
As against
...

You had left me.
I felt quite sad.
It gave me pleasure yet
That I would live in your thought.
...

The princess ran high temperature.
Some applied sandal paste.
Some let in cool breeze
And the one hummed her to sleep.
...

Bathroom singer chocks at mike.
Rehearsed speaker flops on stage.
Well naked I am in verse
But in person I search for words.
...

Half way you are in the stream.
To reach the bank or to return
You have to put equal efforts.
If you retreat, our love will sink..
...

To get your vision
Is my ambition.
To scale your profile
Is my desire.
...

If a door is shut
Don’t get upset.
Search and find.
There’s another door
...

Every verse
That I penned to you
Is the reverberation
Of my air-sacs,
...
