Whispered Screams

Whispered Screams in 1985 -------------------- Music - Improvised AI Generated Lyrics - Lionel Bopage Recording - Niko Schauble, PugHouse Studios, Thornbury VIC 3071, Australia Vocals - Lionel Bopage ------------------ The amber light of '85's soft hue, with a sigh, the stress of the day was over. a tender treat, a love, and a tiny life [1], on my lap, a small and sweet treasure. Walking down the aisles, with a silent, gentle dance, a quick, warm embrace from your tiny hand, but darkness fell, with Dole Kanatta [2], turning cold. An abrupt grasp, and a story, yet untold. The flashing lights, a chilling, harsh decree, a whisper of agony, a whisper of fear. A heavy, judging weight, the harsh hand of the PTA, tore us apart, in a lonely and never-ending fate. Months passed in a blur resembling the colours of a dream. I could feel your absence, like a whispered scream. lost in the void, a fragile and precious life. You were too small to understand, the strife, In the fading light of stolen moments, Echoes lingered, whispers at night. an unspoken love, crushed by the law, a silent plea, a whispered vow, tear-stained. The years may fade, the memories become dim. a tiny life, a love incredibly pure and true, forever, you and I were made to be lost in the shadows. The pain of that night, a haunting, whispered hymn. ----------------- 1. our son was just three months old when I was detained under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) 2 the locality where I lived in Piliyandala, Sri Lanka, when I was detained in 1985
