Udaya R. Tennakoon Poems

A butterfly
Arduously flies
From bough to a sprig
A broken wing enervates
...

In the plan sky
The moon was alone
A dark cloud crossed
By chance

Dirty clothes
Cups of washing powder
Took a time
...

A poisonous gem
Placed in the bottom
Never ever seen the shine
Silent love of mine
...

The difference of the universe
Many hours in time
Where you and I live
...

In the narrow world of your dream home
I'm a suspicious and a cryptic man
Thoughts and feelings born in my mind
How could I plainly explain to whom you doesn't listen

The eyes of the time
Watch on me
And push you
Into the cart
...

Hopes filled and mostly disappointed
A few of succeeded giving a courage
A year called that at the end of midnight
Put a comma and it continues same as
...

Just before the end of day of New Year began
My mind insisted to reflect the day I had
New Year wishes that I sent and received
Gave me a message I couldn't yet try to listen
...

Covered cloth history of democracy
You ask me to come into that
To be democratic and
To taste the culture of that
...
