An Angel Meeting Me Poem by Meena Kandasamy

An Angel Meeting Me

Rating: 2.9


and may be we will
almost fall in love...
I will look into his eyes,
and he into mine—
my one single eye,
(the unfortunate other
blinded by a disciplinizing slap)
and we will agree, adjust
that Love can be Blind.
And he, healthy boy
well-fed, white with his rosy cheeks,
will wonder about me,
pity my bony body, those thin ribs
and worry
and feel my twisted ears
and the scars on my hands,
(reminders of the flirtation
of my skin and a cruel cane)
and perhaps lift my skirt...
Before he learns the greater horrors,
I owe him the truth of me—
So, I will say to him:
"I went to school".

love there is first love not like the childish but boyish a feelings from the inside with a biological tenderness, warming like the touching of buds touching with no lips in no time with no talking it comes just like the dawn breeze passing by the ear, nose, ever-spring thing, eyes...... no broken heart in the flirting skirts, no Iustful enjoyment but in a room of the study love squeezing itself automatically
