Hearts

Living heart is a stray cattle

that seek no permission

to invaid any place...

Young heart is its twin brother

that needs no request

to achieve its choice...

Juvenile mind would be fortunate

if it didn't become obstinate

I have no idea which part

I should really illuminate or eliminate...

heart is a flower bloomed dawn

dribbling dues of crystals...

Wind will bring dust to

mutilate or to distort 

the delicacy innate...

Could you cup your palms

to prevent such sinister...?

Adopt it as two lids that 

pouch the life of an oyster...

Heart moulds the life that 

we mean the mind 

which we ignore...

Living in the world is 

practicing ignorance 

coloured by desire...

Habits and manners 

are costumes

for the nude to attire...

Tamed heart is not a

living heart but the

delicate azure...

Dream & the Truth...

I was dreaming all the nights

the way I would love  if I had a girl...

I wished for an angel

with dark blue eyes & a cute little face...

I laughed myself

for dreaming like that...

Cz I knew that

it would never happen in my life...

But when I met you

I was just shocked...

as I felt my dream

is going to succeed...

You are the one 

about whom I always 

dreamt of...

Those dark eyes 

& that little face...

I felt the warmth of your heart

& I sensed the happiness...

I learnt to live; holding a will...

Simply by the things you added to my life...

So my dearest...

Don't live me any day...

Please be with me till

I'm gone forever...

Coz my soul, life & love

all of them belong only for you...

Here I swear to love you

& to be with you

till the day I leave this world

& even after

simply b'coz

YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING...

Love & Friendship

When I see her 

I feel to go and tell her

What I have kept as a secret

from the day I first met her...

But I am afraid,

afraid of losing her...

what I want is to be with her

as her friend forever...

That's my last wish

but who knows what will happen...

May be she will leave me someday,

if she will find someone

special than myself,

who will talk to her heart...

But my heart,

that's only for her...

Cz I truly love her...

I don't know how to prove 

that my heart is true...

but my heart cries 

asking for her...

Somehow I'll prove

my love towards her..

If she will give me one chance;

I'll give her my whole heart...

And then she will realize

how much I loved her

through out my life time

not only as a friend

but also as someone 

much more special...

Diaspora's Dream...

 

After three decades,

I'm back in my country again...

To see the sodden red earth and sand;

Once it was like the Eden,

with vines laden...

Alas! Now it's a barren land,

Now the Devils are gone,

I'm back at my home...

To breath the free air of

my motherland...

booming or blast or a ping of a bullet

Never, never shall our 

offsprings percieve...

All fair and dark 

with turban and fez...

Until to till the soil so fertile

I have the courage

I'll till and plough

And make my country

A green paradise...

Life

Not a puzzle to solve

Not a prize to grab

Nor a game to win

And ofcourse not 

A cause for tears...

Life...

Is the essential of beauty

Gifted to all

no matter big or small
To be lived for the fullest

To enjoy with heart filled joy

Life is to be lived

the great gift of God...

Sanduni Perera

Tresspassing prohibited

I must admit 

that now I feel

quite guilty

For cutting down

the saplings

grandfather 

had planted

laboriously...

They had menacingly

encroached on my territory..

Blurring his memory 

with the flaring up of hatred..

Among family members 

who is in union,

had decided to democrate

the land with a barbed wire fence...

Forgetting how we

plucked and shared

the ripe and luscious fruits

in abundance...

R. Amarasinghe

Youth

Youth is a state of mind

sharp as a knife

rather than a time of life...

It's not a matter of rosy cheeks

red lips and supply knees,

but a strong will when one speaks

a matter of hope, courage, strength

joy and peace...

Nobody grows old merely by the years

But by deserting your ideals through worries

self destruct and fears

years may wrinkle your skin on the whole

but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles your soul...

When your spirit is covered

with the snows of pessimism

Then you are old even at eighteen

but as long as you catch the waves of optimism

You may die still young even at eighty...

Sing my life...

My fingers are running

The keys are singing,

Do Re Me Fa SO La Te...

I wonder why I feel

My eyes so wet...

My finger tips struggling

to keep up with

Do Re Me Fa So La Te...

I wish he was here

To help me through my notes

Of the song he sang with me

starting with

Do Re Me Fa So La Te...

I feel so alone

since I own only the echo

of our song...

I'm lost in the depth
Without him to sing with me...

I'm Lost in

Do Re Me Fa So La Te...

Restless eyes...

The fearsome darkness

Not dispelled

Wrapped in my own thoughts

In a gloomy chamber

Lamp flared...

Cicadas singing

A never ending song

Bees returning

To the hive

Grows making a din...

An owl hooted once

Can I run away?

No escape

A scintillating star

Murmurs in dismay...

Lamp flame

Breathing its last

My mind

Still seething

Dear God

If I had wings...

Bhagya Weerasinghe

You are the sun in my world...

You came in to my life

as sun comes to the world

you were the sun light
to my dark and gloomy world...

you taught me to love
and showed me the love...
you taught me to live
and gave me a new life...
you gave me a new will
to live and think about...

But now..
you have gone...
as sun leaves the world,
you have gone leaving me alone..
I'm in the dark again
without seeing your
beautiful eyes...

But yet there's a hope
& I innocently wish,
you will come again
to my lonely world someday,
& fill this empty heart
with your purest love...
becoz I know that
sun will rise again
tomorrow
for sure...

Loneliness...

I was alone,in my empty gloomy world...
no one cared, no one listened and no one talked
I tried to fly away to an unseen world...
as I dreamt; to the world of happiness...

the whole world laughed at me,
and they told me "no you can't"
but I thought, that I could
but I failed as they wished..
They told me the truth; I got to know,
"Without wings,none can fly!"

I felt cold, I felt fear and I felt loneliness...
in all that I felt everything except one thing,
"what was it?" I started to find...
Aha...I found what it is,
the thing I searched throughout my life...
believe me, it was "happiness!"

Still I'm trying my best,
I should fly away from this world,
the world which doesn't care a bit
about the ones like myself,
I'll succeed, but I'm bit afraid,
but I should do that task...

The day I'm looking for
will soon come true..
but for the moment
I'm alone right now...
