Rajkumar Panthoiren Poems

I have kissed you without kissing you
Held you without touching you
Left you without leavin' you
But I could never love you without loving you.
...

You see the still face in peace;
The body lying on the bed.
You wipe his hands and say a prayer
And you tell yourself, "I'll remember you…"
...

Winter days have come…
Still the mind is not yet numb;
Through the dark woods,
By the small stream that runs somewhere
...

They all flew away,
'cept one,
flapping and shrieking.
That mad timid one
...

There was love when the night was sung
When the curtain fell and instincts they rode
The night passed without a ruffle or a turn.
Then the wait, hopeful anticipation and the sign
...
