The moon is playing hide-and-seek
Behind the clouds. A mellow smile
Lingers on the lips of the sky
Tides tease and tangle
At the water's edge. The buck eyes
The doe with a deep, alluring passion
Sun mo bi, Ologuro
I am in the mood for love tonight
I can hear pigeons cooing
In their coop. I can hear alapandede
Swapping notes in the shady eaves
Oge taunts the wind with its restless tail
In the narrow lane between the walls
The baobab's bulbous boon is swinging in the wind
Sun mo bi, Ologuro
I am in the mood for love tonight
Touch my tale
Smell my song
Behold the dotted lines
On the pages of my skin
Unfurl my flower
Unravel my rave
Sun mo bi, Ologuro
I am in the mood for love tonight
Stir little fires in the furrow between my ridges
Plant me, a song, in your loamy acres
Palm my memory, mold my mask
Let rasping leaves caress the fruit
At the branch's edge. Quench this quest
With the magic of murmuring moments
Sun mo bi, Ologuro

A small island encircled by formidable oceans, Sri Lanka is a mystery to many: remote, hard to place; a well-kept secret. The Ceylon Press seeks to make its complicated story more accessible. The Press publishes a range of podcasts including The History Of Sri Lanka; the off-grid Jungle Diaries podcast; Island Stories, the podcast that explores what makes Sri Lanka, Sri Lankan; Archaeologies, the blank verse diaries of an occasional hermit; as well as Poetry from The Jungles’ two podcasts, 101 Poets; and 100 Poet, 100 Poems. All these, along with eBooks, dictionaries, guides and companions can be found at www.theceylonpress.com, based at The Flame Tree Estate & Hotel in the jungle west of Kandy .
