You stare with amazement
As my heart writh & quiver at your feet
I point a shaking finger at it
While i continued to bleed

I saw tears gathering in your eyes
But you were hasty to turn your back to me
To wipe them away
Though im weak, i saw it all

You turn your head over your shoulder
To have a one last glance
When you left me on my knees
The burdened heart which lost its nourishment,
Seeked its peace

ආදරයේ නිම් වළලු සොයාගෙන
මා දුරු කතරක පියමැන්නා
සීතල පිණි බිදු කොපුල් තෙමන විට
සීතල සද ඔච්චම් කෙරුවා

අහසේ තරුකැට එක එක ගනිමින්
ඔබ සැගවී කොහෙදැයි සෙව්වා
අනන්ත සයුරේ රළ පෙළ අතරේ
ඔබ සැගවී කොහිදැයි සෙවුවා

හීතල හුළගක් ගත දවටාගෙන
හදවත පිස ඈතට ඇදුණා
කලුවර සෙවණැලි අතරේ සැගවෙන
ඔබගේ රුව නොපෙනී පෙනුනා

හදවත දෙදරා ඉකිබිදිනා විට
ඔබ මා ලග නැති බව දැනුණා
පාලුව තනිකම මා වෙළනා විට
අදුරු වළාවන් මට අත වැනුවා

Pain that pierce
Deep into the heart
Difficult to breath
Gasping with sobs
Coming up to the surface

Would it not burst
from so much pressure
Pop right out of the chest
Can it hold so much pain
and still palpitate
I often wonder

Does it not seek freedom
to leave this rib cage
Or won't it not seek revenge
and create a poisonous cycle
to sicken and destroy
the entire five foot cage
Is it only a matter of time
until that happens
I often wonder

Every time i try to fly
thinking i could aim higher
Falls back to square one,
falls back into your arms

Is it my pattern of thinking?
is that what is wrong?
i question myself

Should never think its square one
cause you're my comfort zone
knowing there is always someone there
someone who wold understand
someone with whom i can be myself

Isn't it the greatest comfort?
Might not be someone fancy
whom i could showoff to world
Might not have answers
to all the questions
about our future

But you are always there
always ready to comfort me
Maybe the same reason
i take you for granted
But the fact remains
that you are a source of strength
to carry on in this
journey of thorns

I stepped out from the dark doorway
into a world entirely beautiful
where flowers bloom with extra brilliance
where birds chirp with extra sweetness
where the trees unfurl newborn leaves
and sway with the cool breeze
where the sun spread its warm glow
as if it would never set
i walked among them
every time i step
my heart overflowing with pleasure
and equally waiting with my eyes open
to absorb the next scene
is this heaven?
i ask myself

my feet stops
in front of a bright red mango
it looked so tempting and desirable to touch
every part of my body drawn to it
my gaze never leaving its beauty
i reach up and grasp the mango
oh no! its bleeding
its blood oozing over my hand
redder than the mango itself

goodbye my forbidden fruit
i whispered, and walked ahead
with tears in my eyes
but worse
it continued to bleed

Take off the mask
Peel it off
So i could see your true face within
Why? Are you not willing?
Afraid that i will see the
True nature of your heart?
Or too gentle to hurt feelings?
Maybe what i will see will hurt me
And hurt you too.
And the ugly, protrude parts of body and mind
Should be covered from prying eyes
After all

Staring at my face
As if to remember every detail
Maybe to take back with you
Or maybe to pierce my heart
To know every detail
To naked my soul
It didnt stopped
Though our distance grew long
Now it comes with a smile
Eyes half closed
Lovingly gazing
For hours to end
Though through a lifeless screen
The warmth is still the same

I drown each and every night
in your dark, deep pool of eyes
suffocating but enchanting with no end
they beckon to me, and draw me in
hold me in a magical spell

I lose myself in your eyes
i search over and over for my soul
which you might have stolen
and hidden in your pool of eyes
never realizing till the end
that the strange, mysterious eyes
has always been seeking
to capture me and drag me
to the dark depth, in you pool of eyes

should i grasp you
so tightly to my heart
that your soft and gentle
wings may break
are you that vulnerable
may you leave me
and fly away from my heart
and feel the essence of freedom
as you joyfully drink in
the love of another

The pages turn idlely
The teachers' voice fades away
As she, stares in space

The soldier with his gun poised
Stares at the moon
Dreaming of home & warmth

The gentleman in his luxurious car
With his head full of problems
Drives with a grim look on his face

The beggar girl with ragged clothes
Searching through her eyes
Of long lost, hopes and wishes.

One after the other,
They come,
Give me promises they’ll stay
But they never do
Who are you all
Lovers from past life
Haunting me
Torturing my soul
Why do we come across
Why is god so cruel
Sending me souls
That are not meant to stay
Without sending me the ****** soul
Who is destined to stay
