Just another wind in my sail

Posted: April 17, 2011 in English, Poems

A breath of fresh air

On a sunny morning

Is all that you were to me

The breeze passed you on

Through the air

Just a fleeting memory..

and that’s all you were to me

With the oncoming wind

I set my sail to go to sea

That breath left behind

It now floats somewhere

Forgotten across the seas

Just another wind in my sail

Which i left behind..

And that’s all you were to me

පවක අරුමය…

සැන්දෑ සමයක
මට නොදැනෙන්නම
මරු ඇවිදින්
සිත සනසවමින්
රැගෙන ගියා ඔහු
රැගෙන ගියා
සිතේ රැඳුන
පෙම් ලොවම මරා
සිත කිතිකවලා

ලොව කලඹාලා
මා පෙම් කළ ඔහු
මරා දමා….
වෙනෙකෙකු
ඔහු තුළ රඳවාලා
පණ නැති එම ගත
රැගෙන ගොසින්
නාඳුනන ඇගෙ
තුරුලෙ  හොවා

මට පෙන්වා
සමච්චල් කරයි මරු
මට රිදවයි, කැඳවයි
අනේ, දුකයි මට
මම කළ පවක අරුමය…

Growing Up

Posted: March 13, 2011 in English, Poems

The time has come to realize

that hating you

won’t lessen my crimes

Coz i chose you

and i loved you

and when you hurt me

i still begged for you

So i’m letting it go

letting it float away

What’s in the past

Can’t ever be changed

From now until

My dying day

I’ll never hate you

ever again..

Stand Up Daddy

Posted: November 26, 2010 in English, Poems

I’m standing here

On my two feet

Lookin at you lying

On your bed

Too weak to stand tall

Too weak to sit straight

To weak to do all the things

You once taught me yourself

Stand up daddy

Stand up now

You held my hand

When I didn’t know how

And now when I’m standing

Up for you

Don’t tell me you can’t

Stand with me too

Stand up daddy

Stand up now

You brought light to my life

Don’t darken it now

And I prayed to gods

To give you strength

And I prayed to heavens

To help you be brave

But you are my god

And you are my heaven

The one to whom

I’ve been praying

And it hurts to see

Your pain with my eyes

I don’t want to see

My heavenly strength die

So daddy stay strong

And fight with me

I can’t fight alone

In this battle of life

 

Daddy..

amazing how
just yesterday
you were so tall
i was so small…
and now i find
i’m standing by you
to catch you
when you fall…

With Her

Posted: November 9, 2010 in English, Poems

When i heard

that you were back

from your journey far away

my heart leaped

to happy memories

they took my breath away

like an awakening

from a dream

like waking up

from the dead

your presence awoke my senses

feelings in the grave

And i still remember

how i ran

to where they said you were

i still remember

pushing through the crowd

to race to where you were

Ran infront of moving vehicles

I got wet in the rain

Got trampled on by the crowd

In my hurry, never felt the pain

Didn’t see the headlights

in my face

Didn’t see angry passers by

didn’t care about anything else

but coming to you that night

And then i reached there

and this is where

I knew my dreams come true

This is where

I knew where

I would finally be with you

And with hopeful step

i walked there

To where they said you were

And my heart stopped

For when i got there

you were there with her…..

Heel My Hurting Heart

Posted: November 7, 2010 in English, Poems

Can you take back

the words yu said

Take away the thoughts

running through my head

Like white clouds glowing

after the rain

Can you smile

and take away the pain

Can you turn back

the hands of time

And make everything

work this time

Like you used to feel

my beating heart

now can you heel

my hurting heart..

Can I Be That Girl?

Posted: November 6, 2010 in English, Poems

i would give

anything in the world

if i could

be that girl

the one you adore

and i’m at your door

just to be asking you

can i be that girl?

the one you save

in your shining armour

the one you dance with

when the night is over

and under the moon shine

i’m waiting here

just to be asking you

can i be that girl

When the waves crash

on the shore

When you feel

that you’re alone

always remember

i’m sitting right here

just to be asking you

can i be that girl…

A Dying Prayer

Posted: November 5, 2010 in English, Poems

give me one last time
to hit a ball to base
one last chance
to feel the wind in my face

gimme one last day
under the sun
gimme one last moment
to be my mom’s son

in that last second
let me see my dad’s face
spend the day with him
in his embrace

and a moment alone
on the sea shore
thinking of my life
and those i adore

gimme one last chance
one last change
one last time
to live again
