Somanathan Iyer Poems

Nothing to tell, lots to feel
Past leaving piercing pain
Standing here heart-broken
...

All those intelligent are not successful
All those successful are not intelligent
Success never demands real intelligence
Sincere efforts with lots of luck is the key for success
...

Talk not your way when two fools are engaged in conversation
Talk not in between when two intellectuals immersed in argument
Stamp of approval for your opinion will never occur anyway in both the cases
Silence is the shield you wear to bear the times till you share your views
...

Shadow is inseparable companion
It is said to give it some credibility!
Uninvited it follows me wherever I go
Depending on the power of lights
...

Prone to changes that are positive or negative
Life is a challenge and remain constantly a challenge
Pushed to face situations of tough and troublesome
Bold you become unmindful of the consequence
...

Developing country called we are
even while nearing seventy years
Fortunate may be generations to come
if not branded under-developed
...

Where we are heading for we don’t know for ourselves
Up above somewhere God must be repenting for creating us
Created He everything in abundance and sent us to enjoy and guard
Wishful thinking His was in trusting us in guarding the Nature
...

Body trembles in turbulent strife
Life flutters as lamp in wind
Unmindful Times move on!
...

Don’t stop! Keep moving
Lest you are overtaken
Next you are pushed back
...

Punctured Ozone layer
Rising temperatures
Threatening global warming
