Methmi Mandara Aug 2021

Alone in the sand, walking together
Gazing at the horizon
And into your sapphire eyes
Our hands clasped
And intertwined
Not to be shy, our memories won’t die

Into your arms
Feeling your heartbeat
You hold me soft
As a virtuoso on a piano, it’s heaven
Smelling your breath frankincense
Ah! Hold me till the oceans become vapor

“Darling, the sun is giving me light,
In the color of Love
Just to see you”
“My Love, look at our pink fluffy bed
Created in the sky, Just for you and me”

Suddenly, you grabbed me tight
Your red lips are closer to mine
Now, your lips in mine and mine in yours
Tasting as honey, Soft as a rose petal
While listening to the waves,
Who is watching us and singing
Our Love Story…….

The Blue Universe

Bear feet; into the sand; trampling the sea shells
Some are crashing, jingling and tinkling as the silver bells
"Thou, why here?" I asked from a shell and peeped into the singing waves
It told, "We are from under the corals, ancient ships and the sea monster's cave

A singing pond, what a universe inside this blue?
No one can give a clue
She is listening to every story
Happy, joy, love but also sorry

She knows the man Sinbad, who sailed upon her days and nights; he watched the twilight of the dawn
She is heartbroken of Rose and Jack who watched her dolphins; hugging each other but now that love is gone
Also she is proud of the little mermaid with the amber cloudy hair who sacrificed life for the human prince
Her sound is high when she cries by seeing her fish who die by wrapping in strings

A giant travelling palace murdered all her turtles, dolphins and the whales and sent them to the land
Now, her family is coming to us; without their souls but a body floated to the sand
Oh her wish, will she recover soon?
So she will be lighted again as the crystal moon

My dear readers. I have expressed my ideas about the ocean here. I thought of writing this because "The Ocean Day" is held this month. Especially you may have a confused idea about the last verse. Well....Last month a ship named "Express Pearl" was burned in the sea and now it's sunken. The oils and the chemicals are mixed to the sea and Sri Lanka is facing a big trouble these days. Every day, we can see so many turtles, dolphins and other aquatic creatures died on the sand because the chemicals of the ship as effected them so highly. I wish the ocean will recover soon

Father

Day or night working so hard
When we were out you were waiting in the yard
Your face full with a smile when you see us
When we were home from school by bus
Taking the world on to your shoulders
You carry on all our stuff with you
Father, you sacrifices a lot, we owe
To have your love, so true

To my father

The Seven Dwarfs

She is not as kind as Cinderella
Who had pair of glass shoes
She is not as worthy as Jasmine
Who went on a magical carpet ride
She doesn’t have a long golden hair
As Rapunzel in the tall tower
She is not as fortunate as Sleeping Beauty
Who woke up from a century’s sleep
She doesn’t have a green gloomy tail
As little mermaid in the deep ocean
She is not as powerful as Queen Elsa
To create castles with frozen water
She is not as brave as Belle in amber
Who went on her life with a beast
She is not Wendy with Peter beside
To fly through the clouds in the night

But she maybe Snow White
And seven of you are her seven dwarfs
Who takes care of her
Till she meet her own prince

The Seven Dwarfs are the Boys of the South Korean Boybad BTS

Her Cries

A bride who should be with a pride
Is murdered by her children; she cried
They not know; can't have the cold breeze
Where it is free of trees
Her tears, the long flowing rivers
She cries with sorrow, pain and shiver
Her attempts, the tall mountains
All faded human hearts, as a water fountain

Burning Lantern

Gently and vividly you created me; why?
To fly me in the dark sky

I came to your childish hands
You sent me off to the Swedish lands

With an aromatic candle shinning in
As a golden little tin

I went through the clouds higher and higher
With the flamed thing, it was a fire

Hearing children crying out as a melodious pattern
"Ah! see that glamorous flying lantern"

I see my fire was overjoyed
"Be controlled" I cried

The fire which shone me lit up soon
As the dark clouds hit the moon

I was just ashes nothing left more
A fallen crashed lantern, down by the shore

Mother

All the months you kept me in the womb of you
Memories of those will never fade in you
Months after I came to you
All the love is here for you

AMMA, You are the best!

My life, was colored with vivid rays because of you
On sleepless nights, since I was sick, stayed you
The pains of those is still in you
Holding my hand, took me to light, it's you
Escape, I can't, Want to stay with you
Remembering memories of me and you

MOTHER, you are the best!

Our goddess in the shelter is you
Kind heart gleaming bright in you
At my success, behind it's you
Act as rough but soft hearted you
Sang lullabies when cuddled by you
And the milk I ****** from you
Never I can repay, I owe you

OKAASAN, you are the best!

Entered to the world because of you
Obstacles were gone, who chased, it's you
Many facts of life I learnt from you
More long years, I'll be beside you
And I know, with me it's you

EOMMA, you are the best!

Middle in my heart, always you
Apologizing for moments being angry with you
Maximum love received from you
At your feet, I respect you

MAMA, you are the best!

Melting buttered heart in you
Amazed by qualities of you
Deepest love for kids of you
Resembling the love, she is you
End isn't written in the story of me and you

MADRE, you are the best!

AMMA is the word in Sinhala (My mother language) for mother. OKAASAN is the Japanese word for mother. EOMMA is the Korean word for mother. MAMA is the Chinese word for mother. MADRE is the Spanish word for mother.

As my mom wants me to learn lots of languages, she deserves this poem
