My Annual visit.
Fortnight ahead my journey, busy
buying gifts
For my beloveds, almost family.
Boxes of chocolates and some
dresses,
For my little girl with two
pigtails.
How can forget the old man’s words,
“Miss bring be a good drink’’.
Rampart walks with them, my
favorite.
Watching the sunset, enjoying
“rotti” with Ceylon tea.
Nothing can be compared to the view
I see in the evening on the
Rock bench, above the sea with the
historical stadium.
Yearning to meet my friends at
shops,
With a new set of antiques.
I am ready to fly to you, my
beloved destination.
Neglecting my friends’ words, “is
it safe to visit there?”
My only answer for them, “it’s
almost two decades
Since I began my visits”.
Why should I miss this time?
Come let’s enjoy a walk around the
Dutch fort,
Spend some time surfing and hiking.
Don’t you want to taste Ceylon
food?
Feel the heaven besides the warm
beach.
