මඤ්ඤොක්කා හීලට

හතරට නැගිටලා ලොකු වතුර මුට්ටියක් උණු කරලා
මඤ්ඤොක්ක කපා උණු වතුර නටන හැලියට දමලා
හොඳින් තම්බලා ලුණු දාලා දිය පෙරා
පොල් කවලම් කරලා රැගෙන යනවා දන් නිසා

කවිය අහන්න

අපි අඳින ඇඳුම් කියන්නේ

අපි අඳින ඇඳුම් කියන්නෙ අපේ ජීවිතවල සරල බව පොරොන්දු 
අපි කන කෑම කියන්නෙ අපේ ජීවිත සුවපත් කරපු බොහෙත්
අපි කරන කථා බහ කියන්නෙ අපේ මුතුන් මිත්තන්ගේ සිරිත් විරිත්
අපේ ගති පැවතුම් ඇවැත් පැවැත් උනේ ඒ මුතුන් මිත්තන්ගේ ඇදහිලි විස්වාස

The tale of I and she (Math 'n Inglish )

I'm fond of math 
She had no bond with math
She sincerely loves English
I hardly touched English
I used to skip it 
She doesn't know it 
She really takes time learning it 
I am highly impressed with that
I barely studied English
She rarely skips studying English 
She has all sort of resources
I whereas had no such sources
I happily spent hours 'n hours on math 
She actually went away 'n away from math
She enjoys roaming around the garden
I joys even dreaming that garden 
I always ate naturally ripen garden-fresh fruits
She all days pleased to snack the same fruits
She has two sisters to hang around 
I was dreaming about a sister all year round 
I literally had just a cat for all 
She liberally plays with 'em and crawl
She got the power 
I was under the power 
I was noted as a bit lazy 
She is same-same isn't it crazy 
She has acquire a strong personality
I still have a dependent mentality
I peacefully relished the nature around
She is now delighted at the same ground 
She is my queen
I love her scene
I can only see her from far
She closely resembles me in fair
She is teen yet keen on learning
I see from screen 'n she's charming
I feed her with English sessions
She seems to enjoy my lessons
She is impressive, solves math problems 
I just explain the wrongly done problems
I let her learn math by herself
She is keen on math as well
She is charming-charming
I am sad on parting darling
I figure myself through her

She mirrors my past, no blur
She heals me 'n joy is a gain
I feel like I'm living it once again 
I use English as much as math 
She will like math as much as English?

This is the final version of the poem after done a ton of editing. To see the original version please check my other blog Comely Lines. It would be grate if you can vote the version of the poem pleased you. 

I wrote a poem

She drew a picture

Love

Fairy new prone
Origin unknown
Beginning not clear
But, it was there for sure

Grow like a flower
And has it own power
Spread like weeds
With a high speed

No way to escape
Rather admit the shape

To read the entire poem, please visit my other blog, Comely lines. This poem is inspired by my Sinhalese poem, ආදරය, which was written two years ago. I really like that poem and this one as well. Which one you like most? If someone asked me the same question, my answer is the one I wrote two years ago. Anyway, I wrote this English poem under the theme, 'Growth and Decay', by thinking of submitting it to the yearly anthology of creative writers club of my uni. Your ideas and comments have the power of massaging this poem!

Anxious waiting

Like a flower is looking for
The sun for blooming

Like a baby is looking for
Its mom for feeding

Like a farmer is looking for
The rain for seeding

A misty road

Hi friend, I have created another blog page by the name 'Comely Lines' for all of my English articles. Today, I posted a new poem call 'a misty road'. 

I am on an unclear path
With a fairly new question which
No one was interested 
I go here & there
Do this & that


I am puzzled......


To read the full poem, please follow this link, 'A misty road'.

One wish

All I want is just one thing 
One minute 
One click
One photo, 
One pencil
One paper
One sketch.
But, how long will it take?
One month?
One semester?
One year?
Or never?

That day

Nineteen years
And one day ago
You were laying down on the bed
Lifelessly
I felt your pain
My poor little brother...
I was helpless
It was painful looking at you...
I didn't want to leave you alone
Yet, I waved my hand to say bye
You didn't
I was miserable...
You were laying down with
Your pale little face,
No smile
No talk
No any movements
Ohh, my dear brother...
I grabbed your hand
And waved it
Back at me
To make it less miserable...
Suddenly,
You moved your hand
And saluted me 
The way we usually did...
I was so happy
I thought you were fine now
And left home
With a consolation...
I still remember
I played with my friends 
I even wrote a poem on my desk...
On my way back
I met one of my uncles
He was coming from our home
He turned it back to give me a ride
It was the first time I am
Having a ride...
I was excited at that moment
Yet, felt that something was odd...
Before we reached home
I realized that
Your salute
Was your goodbye tribute to me...

Where are you?

When all of you are around
It's noisy and distracting
I don't mind it
I can concentrate on what am doing
I mean,
'When I want'...
It's warm and cozy
I can come and talk
Anytime I want
At least one of you is there
For me...
Even no one is here to hear me out
I am okay
Because I know
You guys are somewhere
Nearby
So I can talk later...
But, now
Almost all the spots are empty
None of my friends are here
No one will even come later
I went to your desks few times
They look clean and orderly
I have a strong feeling
Of emptiness...
Isn't this saying
I am lonely and
Bored with nothing???
Ohh no
At least one of you could come...
It reminds me
The loneliness I had
On my early days...

I and You

I know who you are
You know who I am
You pretend you didn't  see this
I pretend I didn't notice it
I tried, but failed?
You didn't, yet succeed?
You act harshly
I act softly
I think you are lonely
You think I am not?
You are all over
I am nowhere
I am already erased
You will be never erased
You are soft inside
I know it
I know you are arrogant
You know I like it
You have a wide smile
I like that as well
I am bit confused
You better noticed it
You are nowhere to be found
I am semi-insane
I always looked for you
You ever knew it?
You didn't come
I didn't see you from then
I miss you
You didn't miss me?
