FAZLY LAPHIRA heart so steadfast and true
View(s):My Dearest Darling Fazly,
Free flowing words
Give meaning to blank pages
Strokes of colour
Brighten white canvasses
Hollow bamboo tunes
Form subtle rhythms
Long dead driftwood ***
Returns to life with touches
Poems remind me of –
Your love ever so pure
Paintings,
Honest smile’s hue
Melodies from flute music
Simple ways all through
Battered wood sculpture ***
The Heart
Steadfast and true
With words, colours, rhythms
and wood
I’m trying to turn my pain
Then I find the
Illusion of Reality
My humble attempts
Seem in vain.
Your ever-loving Ano
In memory of Colonel FAZLY LAPHIR P.W.V., R.W.P., R.S.P. Commanding Officer, 1st Regiment Special Forces who was killed in action on July 19, 1996 in Mullaitivu
