Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

A boy wooed a girl. No wonder.
A lord coaxed a maid. No wonder.
A man hooked an estranged woman
Or a widow is courted. No wonder.
...

A lone man, with a football,
On a lone ground, when heading the goal,
Can derive no interest out of it.
He requires court, rules, competitors,
...

Nirvana means mere sans shyness
Or bluntly, shamelessness.
To attain it is uncommon.
Nudity, open sex, no name, no fame
...

Your slanting lower jaw
Elongates your oval head.
Your tightly braided hair
Elevates your long nape.
...

The petals of the flower have crinkled.
The crest of the apple has slanted,
Its peduncle having relaxed.
There’re cuts littered on fleshy stem.
...

The rays of sun fall on the blades of leaves.
The leaves are excited, and undergo
Chemical changes with warmth of the sun.
Yesterday, and before, it happened.
...

For every praise earned
There was an equal sacrifice.
Nowadays praises are cooked
With a flavour of politics
...

Sex was employed for procreation.
Sex was deployed for playfulness.
Sex is exploited just for eroticism.
Emotional relationship suffers.
...

A woman as a wife is pathetic.
She starts her career as a sleeping partner,
Then as a yielding partner, a competing partner,
A demanding partner and a losing partner.
...

.

My transfer brought her to my lip.
Her transfer wrought me a slip.
