Jaffana Shores - Poem

 

All my tears are now rain,

My blood is shattered with my kin's blood.

my body is to the motherland,

Where I also buried my happiness.

Even when shores hit Jaffna beaches,

It erodes and gives it back.

I lost all to these war breaches,

I won't get back what they ruined.

My Son lost his fresh air to Explosion,

My husband lost his arm to loose cannon they carried.

I lost my daughter to those men,

Now I'm lost in my life destination.

Even the heavens would not be equal to my land,

As I walk on the ashes of my father.

All these Jaffana beach birds,

May I meet you if I live?
