Angelina Pandian Poems

The lives of children, women
Half dead, dying patients in hospitals
The lives of people hunted, haunted
Even in their nightmare dreams

[After reading - Lullaby For Lost Generations by Naseer Ahmed Nasir]

How long do we keep the vigil?
How many lifetimes will a wake last?

You are the wind

And peace fell upon me
Like dew upon a flower
When I saw many others
Gather about at my call
...

Sits inside a bony cave....
Confined to sight....
Travels free...
To unseen unimagined

With a sacred heart
Surrounded by
The stations of the Cross

Love me like I am going to die
Hold me like I am slipping away
Kiss me like there’ll be no other time
Speak sweet nothings till dawn
...

Life is breathing –
I have life
My heart flutters
In its breeze,
...

Life is always cruel
To each man in its own way
It metes out sorrow
To one and all
...

How do you spell ‘pain’?
Someone asked and
I answered.....
Absentmindedly,
