Deva De Silva Poems

Crossing a pebbled pathway
Bare feet flinching in pain
A flowered cotton gown
Flapping around my knees
...

The stonewall and the brook
A disfigured snow mound
Reborn in my thoughts!
...

An autumn maple leaf
Red, orange, and yellow streaked
Half emerged in grey waters
Enclosed in mossy green
...

Smell me in the air
For I fly everywhere

Catch a quick glimpse of me
...

A glass of red wine spent
Recalling life's events
Crowded in my skin
In Solitude
...

Sitting close to you so that
I could reach out and touch
A rare treat to be that
Center of attention for once
...

A cherry tree in blossom,
Hidden at night from my sight.
Majestic, all the same!
