Angelina Pandian Poems

The breeze
It surrounds
It envelopes
It fills the heart
...

[On reading his ‘Residue of Life’]
You never stop amazing me
Miser! What else to call you!
Your title is longer
...

The bird sings from deep within
Crying out plaintively – Now aloud
Resonating from all sides – I ask,
“Where are you singing from? ”
...

Narayana, Narayana, Narayana
Please wake up for me Narayana
The Lotus buds are waiting
To see your face and bloom Narayana
...

I’ve been chasing you in my mind
Like a butterfly beyond my reach
Despite all arguments and advice of friends
To convince me, the sheer impossibility
...

The heart waits in silence
Like a shadow waiting
To merge with darkness
My heat waits for you.
...

Dreamless nights
Sitting awake
Staring silently into space
With unseeing eyes
...

The mountain stands
The wind plays with her
Leaving her treetops in disarray
The wind moves on, unaware
...

I am like a horse
Nuzzling your palm
For one more cube of sugar
For I know I’ve done my best
...

I wander by the wayside
You can easily find me
With the alms-bowl in my eye
Hungry, starved and famished
...
