Newton Ranaweera Poet Verse

Sabbatical Dreams -It

Twilight waved me sadly sighing, adieu,
Furling her rosy hue; cautioning me.   
Earie boardwalk creaks near the white sand beach,
But alone I dream here with piercing pains. 

The label I hide on the wine bottle,
A label of a shirt she bought for me,
Which I fondly kept as a souvenir 
Of my final visit home...years ago. 

They told me of the psycho cat’s demise,
And of horror stories that haunts a beach,  
Yet I've got no place better now to dream:
Sabbatical dreams after quarantine.
