Ashes Poem by nimal dunuhinga
Ashes
I met her in an orphanage.
She gave me her autograph one day
And said 'uncle please does write something'.
Then I wrote few lines to be pleased her.
I saw the true love of Moths and flames.
It's a swarm of suicides.
'Uncle it's very short' she insisted.
I added one more line.
Love is sad.
Dedication to my poetess friend Sandra.Fowler

Beautiful Nimal. An overwhelming sense of sadness - but not despair - runs through this poem the language is beautiful (as ever) . The line 'and said 'uncle please does write something'.' is soimaginative and gentle in its use of childspeak.

What a beauiful poem Nimal and so sad. Love your metaphor of the moths and the hopelessness of their love affair with the flame. Fine penning, love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxx
