Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Wide eyes, wide cheeks,
Thick lips, thick bosom,
Broad hip and plump thy
Of women were alluring then.
...

The concept of bride and her virtue
Over the time is diluted.
Be her mind as virgin.
Be her heart as virgin.
...

Everywhere is crowd;
Each one is lonely.

Prosperity is all over;
...

Jnana is beyond Vijnana,
not reasoned through Vijnana
But felt by seventh sense- Intution.
Religion is not through Science.
...

Meena spent with him more time in company.
She spelt with him of love and passion.
Veena had with him talks terse and brief.
She met him at random and seldom.
...

Atma is the Self,
made of Prana, Mana and Vak:
Motion, Consciousness, and mater.
...

Time: it passes us or we pass it?
It consumes us or we consume it? ?
Who is in motion- it or we?
Only we.
...

I went on foot to far away school.
Then I rode on a bicycle with a pride.
Later two-wheeler took me to pedestal.
Now a car. In each stage I was happy.
...

Out of approach,
And out of reach
Though you are, the Moon,
I really bathe in your light.
...

Every parting is painful
Like every death is sorrowful.
Every parting has behind it
A vivid sojourn
...
