Somanathan Iyer Poems

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
...

Not by mere chance, but by own choice
humans take their birth in this world
leaving the physical form after death
summoned is the soul to the yard of God
...

This great country of ours
Once lauded as the most prosperous
Once the hub of knowledge and learning
Once the origin of ethics and morals
...

Body is there missing is the spirit
Eyes are there missing is the focus
Mind is there missing is the brain
Desires are there missing are the means
...

If the air that we breathe stops! Imagine!
If the waters that we use disappear! Imagine!
If the Sun and Moon from which we benefit shun their duties!
Imagine! Gloom and doom everywhere!
...

Oh! My heart! Don’t lose yourself!
Like the moon covered by clouds
Like the fire covered by smokes
Like the diamond covered by slush
...

The moon was bright
on the waves of clouds
here and there all along the sky
stars were playing hide and seek
...

gold and women
inseparable lot
high stakes both have
owning them is a pride
...
