“You should be more careful
when you move, my dear
what with you...

spilling moonlight
into my poem, with a mere
flick of your hand.”
― Sanober Khan, A Thousand Flamingos

“In every step, in every breath of yours, you’ll feel me…
I will always be in every sight you see, in ever voice you hear…
Your ears will be always filled with my whispers, my laughter and my cries…
My fights and tantrums will never leave your mind…
My footsteps, my shadow, will haunt you in every corner you go…
I will be your mornings, your days and nights…
I am the breeze that wraps your body in the morning…
I am the moonlight that bathes your body at night…
I am the fire that will burn you. I am the storm that you cannot handle…
I am the rain that will wash away the dust from your soul…
I am in your reflection. I am your shadow…
Your heart whispers my name in every beat…
Every word you say, echoes my name…
I am the secret you want to hide, but the secret that the world knows…
I am your dream…
I am your nightmare…
I am your darkest sin...
I am you…”
― Ama H. Vanniarachchy
