Mohan Ariyaratne 1946 - 2009




Mohan.

A man who dressed in grey
Silent unobtrusive
But with the touch of a knob
Created music and vibes to fill
A sunny courtyard.
Memories from childhood
Talks with a man who spoke little
But had meaning behind what he said
Shared stories and anecdotes
With a crooked smile and crinkled eyes.
A hidden lair
Graphic posters lined the walls
The Best stocked shelves
Where music was picked
And then readily flowed
With a well stocked fridge
His essentials
Bottles of beer.
Will miss the gentle man
With a personality which illustrated grey
Subtle cool and calm.
Mohan.
