Newton Ranaweera Poet Couplet

Time To Go Merry-Go-Round

You are in your prime, and I’m in my clime;
Why sweetie in twenty then we waste this time?
Come, dance; we can gently our pleasures hound,  
For here’s a time for us to go merry-go-round.  

Run around, and you’ll see how flowers bloom
And drones fly around wanting for some room;
Birds, herds, and all love while their time is high,
So come sweetie; in delay, our prime will sigh.  

Moon smiles and night palls a velvet blue veil,
And owls and curlews hail with a flirting tale;  
Xylophones and cymbals bounce for our dance,
So come sweetie; let’s dive in a hypnotic trance.
