Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Marriage is an iron of contract
That would extinguish the tenderness
Existing between two as lovers.
Must we marry and mar the delicacy?
...

Most men have run out of wits for women.
Many men have perished or erred
Or sinned for the shake of women in love.
Women are unmoved; men have learned neither.
...

Besides parents and grand parents,
Aunts and uncles were counted on.
Besides father and mother,
Nephews and nieces were counted on.
...

To marry or not to marry;
To believe or not to believe;
You’ll regret choosing either way
For having not pursued the other.
...

Woman finds it a pleasure
To pull men eyes towards her.
Man finds it a pleasure
At his eyes being pulled by woman.
...

I went to a theatre with a girl friend
And avoided there meeting my girl friend,
Who had come there with a boy friend.
She was happy in my act as it seemed..
...

Woman is such as to make
Man’s eyes fall on her
Without letting hers fall on her
...

Gene is life; cell is carrier.
Gene is retainable; soma is disposable.
The soma is bound to decay.
The gene transmits into the new-born.
...

All women aren’t beautiful
And yet each ladylove is beautiful.
She is beautiful, whom you love.
She is beautiful for you love her.
...

Brain or heart?

Losing your heart for someone?
No, losing your brain for someone.
