Rishini Fernando Poems

I was flattered and frightened
I stared my jaws hang open
With a crushing pain piercing my bones
...

Last Sunday,
Last Sunday, I saw eyes light with
appreciation.
Today the Friday,
...

He had tough hands and a metal heart they said.
Oh so ideal for an assassin!
He was cautious and enthusiastic,
Walked through darkness like a shadow,
...

‘The Hare' invited ‘The Tortoise' to run a race,
‘The Tortoise' accepted being certain of the defeat,
Bravery or Stupidity?
A different name may be.
...

I wake up soon after the dawn
wait till my eyes adjust to the darkness
and figure out where I am,
for I have forgotten
...

My sadness has a regular route.
It starts from the chest,
travells up till throat,
looks left to right,
...

Black...
Grey....
White...
...
