Kamalini Selvarajan

By- Sharmini Serasinghe

“Kamalini my dearest friend
your smile and the magic of the aura,
that radiates around your vibrant self
always lit up the darkest of times

Though in your new world of the unknown
you no longer know me
yet you greet me with that charming smile
you gave so freely to friends and foe
in better times

And so, it breaks my heart to know
you don’t know me, once your friend, anymore
in this strange new world
your God has made for you!”

Sharmini Serasinghe

Forgive me my friend
but understand your God
I do not

He took away your soul
and left me a living shell

Did he not find another
more worthy of his wrath?
