Hemmed along a quiet bend of Weligama bay
In the four-poster bed of my hotel room, I lay
Looking at the turquoise waters of the ocean
Was I living a dream with my eyes wide open?
As the soft mesh curtains played with my feet
I pinched myself and turned lazily in the sheet
The evening sun allured me into the balcony
to tune in to the waves and wind in harmony
Sweeping views of aquamarine filled my soul
Bringing back the lost holiday genes for a roll
With miles of mesmerizing beaches and more
Pick a place to let your days slip by the shore
Weligama, once a fishing village, today raves
to be the perfect surf town with gentle waves
Stretch out with yoga and put your mind at ease
or enjoy local fruits served under the palm trees
A traditional fare not to be discounted in a hurry
Pol sambol and string hoppers with potato curry
I loved pol sambol, with fresh grated coconuts
spiced up with chili pepper, lime, and shallots
Here to party or just chill out, solo or more?
The big question is ‘Why weren’t you here before?
