Siva Mahendran Poems
- 1. Mother Is Love Personified!
The temple of God is not greater than a mother
One is blind who forgets his mother
In obeying my mother’s advice
I remain trapped in her love
... - 2. Deepavali On Serangoon Road
Bright and beautiful are the lights
Up above the roads on both ends
People flock in great numbers
Here and there many shoppers
... - 3. Let Bygones Be Bygones
Problems fleetingly come and go
Never can one be free from them
In good times and bad times
They shouldn’t define our life-flow
... - 4. A Legend Gone Forever
A great singer in perpetual slumber
No more can we hear him forever
The golden voice of yesteryears
Singing in many Indian languages
... - 5. Crossing Over
Surrounded by a void I barely lie
Waiting for something to happen
Don’t know what it is yet though
It’s cold and dark everywhere so
... - 6. Hail Honey Heartily!
Could it be manna from heaven?
Dense, viscous, sweet and golden
A labour of love or a love of labour
Busy bees’ teamwork endeavour
...
