Loneliness Poem by Kasun Wickrama Arachchie

Loneliness grows around me Nuwara Eliya city sleeps


So does snow


Even the wind gets off from ship and started walking on the shore


Me and a candle, stuck inside four walls


So lone

Such a torture


You are not here to sleep me with those lullaby voice


You are not here to serve coffee with a kiss every morning


When dust fell in my eyes, you are not here to lick it away

You are not here to sooth the clouds in my mind

I am here and you are away


In this loneliness, moments feel like years

is away


How we became so


I write your name 100 times in my diary


Ants came at once, is your name so sweet like honey


The air is so chill


If you come dear

Even hot lava will froze in to ice


Come darling, once you are with me even fireballs become snow
