Dinesh Perera Poems

Ah
Finally the curtains are here
Dark dusty coffee shade
To blot out the searing summer sun
...

When I’m gone,
You won’t feel the emptiness
For I take it with me.
To settle down in some fake paradise
...

Here is hard
Here is sand in my eyes
Lava in my lungs
Pepper in my Veins
...

Rain fell for a long time
A bloody long time
It fell every morning
As everyone else woke up to
...

Shiver
I just did
Though I cannot
Seem to say why
...

I am rising like a phoenix
From the salty waters
Of a night sky
As all around me
...

Hi
I’m Dee
What you doing?
Wanna take a walk?
...

I am rising like a phoenix
From the salty waters
Of a night sky
As all around me
...
