Deva De Silva Poems

Shooting leave buds
You lay forlorn, yet
In new hopes of being
Discovered in time
...

A man wearing a cotton white cloak
Flowing down to his bare feet
Leads a horse raved in velvet blue
His face brimming with delight absolute
...

A green patch of growth
Raved in Dandelion yellow
Sway to the rhythm of wind
Under an old willow
...

I sang to you
From a long list of
My favourite songs
Until you dozed off
...

Creasing her forehead,
Scowling sparse eyebrows,
Curled upwards.
...

A black furry squirrel busily
Nibbling at my window frame
Gathering twigs, soggy wood specks
Making a bed for its offsprings
...

When it was wild, as times were
Embraced, you and I
Entwined, soared, and swarmed
Shun the light, moonlit skies, and stars
...
