Welcome, Welcome

Come, come you won't get bored,'cause I let you in my humble abode.Promise I'll keep your company to no end,For you are my bestest friend. There,Greet my mama on the couch.Worry not, they're inside this pouch.Her eyes and ears and tongue and hair,Stored inside with love and care. Look,My little brother wants to play ball.But, alas, he is useless than a clay doll.His arms and legs, you ask where?Oh, they are probably in his play area. We are an odd bunch, now you see.There's also my big brother in his study.He never comes out of that big ugly room,"Scary things happen there", whispers the moon. Fear, oh fear, I see in your face.Now I know you're about to run a…

Dreams

(Volume 02: Nightmares) It was a nightmare… The things we see when our eyes are closed, We call them "Dreams" I dream, but I'm not a dreamer. I just dream. It didn't feel like a dream,  The darkness I witnessed  Was too realistic. People toasting with  Poisonous champagne,  Serpents creeping leisurely In this scene.  I wanted to scream.  I tried and I cried  To take me out of this world,  Not knowing it's a dream. I saw boogeymen, ghouls  And werewolves. But I was most afraid to see  Humans. Corinthian was looking  Straight at me. There's no Sandman to save me. When it all ended,  I opened my eyes to see  What I woke up into... - Rtr. Inura Dewasinghe

A Night of Revenge

Red paint splashed all over the room, Smell of salt and metal, Funny how one could almost think blood has been spilled tonight in a calm household. A guy on all fours, Begging, crying- "Not my Son, not him He's still eighteen" And a grim lover at the counter, Starring at the mess on the kitchen floor Flesh, and more "Red paint" Boom! The once pale body, laid on the floor Gives not a single twitch His Ken-doll lips - blue, now tainted with wet streaks of Red, A young man hovers over the broken pieces of a marble statue, Stands and walks back, A snail leaving dark trails of revenge, Sense of smug pride strewn across the white face,…

Nature’s Blueprint: Balancing Laws and Wealth for a Greener Future

In a world where nature and mankind entwine, A tale of hope, where the sun and moon align. With laws that nurture, and economics keen, Sustainable development, the ultimate dream. Nature's canvas painted with hues so grand, Forests, oceans, deserts, earth's endless land. In the fragile balance, where ecosystems thrive, Laws stand as guardians, ensuring all life. Environmental laws, with purpose profound, Protecting the earth, with a watchful eye around. Air, water, and soil, they safeguard with care, For a world that's healthy, clean, and fair. But some may question, do these laws impede? The engines of growth, where industries lead. Yet herein lies a tale untold and true, Economics and nature, in harmony they brew. For sustainable development, the…

Thoughts of the Flawed – II

We never knew each other heart to heart, Never talked much, My views being misguided by what I thought to be true. Yet, at the moment fire enveloped your resting soul, and the heat seeped into your dry flesh, And your body became charred and melted, Turned into ashes, We were closer than ever. When I breathed in the air filled with the smoke of your burned corpse, We were one unlike before . - Rtr. Vibhavee Sarathchandra
