Ruwantissa Abeyratne

Unreceived Gifts

You opened your azure blue eyes
And laughed; I smiled,
Felt like a ball of cotton wool,
Thought of Mona Lisa.
 
How you came
Into a heart that was vulnerable;
Every day I wished
For that fragrance
Of the flower of your smile.
 
In a journey yearning for respite,
A welcome drizzle of feeling and emotion.
I looked into the window of wishes
And saw what calmed me.
The way you came into my life
Was exactly the way I wished.
 
 
But you left,
Like wilting rose petals
Once filled with smiles.
You left without telling me;
Your smell of love
Will remain with me.
 
To be born yesterday
And die today.
Why am I alone?
Why did you go without telling me?
