now it is my time to refine. I had lived twice; the third became the sixth. the space between us had visible lines, but she liked what she saw — not that she wanted to see them, not that she ever tried. she liked, sincerely liked, at that time, the distance we had complimented. on a warmer day, she was there to break it all down, flatten it out and lay it on the ground. she stole a few pieces, kept you seeking. yet the epiphany of the heat still remains beyond my words in our missionary sanction.

Love — everything about it is written on her lips, in ever so simple, delightful English. Her heart-shaped lips gave life to all that’s written. Her charming pink declared it isn’t all red; ‘Love nurtures,’ her glossy lips said. When she pouted, those lines read divine. Love is written all over the world — from Shakespeare to the aurora borealis — but dear God, her plump, sweet lips own the finest verse of it.

In a sunflower— in tomatoes ripened red, in a jolly yellow lemon adored among darling green leaves. In a cloud of dust in a draught, In a drop of water pouring on an ice cube, Oh God- in her loveliest dimples, in the lushest lily pond of Monet’s, we had it all— the best moments of life. Vast, infinite, uncontainable, formidable love. For me, in the chilling wind of winter.

coming back to love

In a sunflower— in tomatoes ripened red, in a jolly yellow lemon adored among darling green leaves. In a cloud of dust in a draught, In a drop of water pouring on an ice cube, Oh God- in her loveliest dimples, in the lushest lily pond of Monet’s, we had it all— the best moments of life. Vast, infinite, uncontainable, formidable love. For me, in the chilling wind of winter.

This is a long sad day Heat of loneliness under my skin Roasted coffee smells dreadful My heart hurts Thinking to myself — Why do people write poetry? To buy a token of love? *** To buy a moment to live? — Oh ***** here it’s raining now Manchester, Manchester

Summer Solstice

This is a long sad day Heat of loneliness under my skin Roasted coffee smells dreadful My heart hurts Thinking to myself — Why do people write poetry? To buy a token of love? *** To buy a moment to live? — Oh ***** here it’s raining now Manchester, Manchester

Remember me when you see sunflowers, wild roses, a blue sky filled with clouds. Remember me when you see a minimal photo — a yacht, the deep blue ocean, lush green valleys, stone castles. Remember me when you walk the streets of Colombo — see a sunny evening, the seaside, the sea breeze, feel the scent of evening dust, hear the train heading down south. Remember me when you sit alone on a park bench, in isolation, in lonesome, if not in your solitude. Remember me when you go to a flea market — see crystals, singing bowls, beautiful pieces of art and craft. Remember me when you know it is Sunday — see our mother, ****** Mary, see the empty road, hear the honk of a bus. Remember me when you see the crescent moon, stars above Mount Beach, feel the speed of the car to Galle. Remember me when you dream of my smile :) when you think of the end of time, when you feel the weight of life, when you doubt existence. Remember me — just now.

Hello Stranger! Let me tell you what just crossed my mind: When you love somebody, you give a piece of your heart, never expecting it back. If it’s protected, good—you’re happy. But if not, stranger, there’s a missing piece, a tear, a wound to make your heart grow bigger. So darling stranger here you gotta a big heart, a pleasant aftermath Even pain has its own kind of art—an acquired taste, unique in its appreciation. So, cheers to the tears and wares, stranger! Or—if this is utter nonsense—perhaps, stranger, we could try not to be strangers for, say, four decades and some more—if that's an option?
