Dulan Kumarasiri Poems
Across the pond, I saw a beautiful tree.
It stood out from an endless sea
It called to me, grinning and smiling
We laughed and danced, its bark shining
...
Stuck in a box, unable to move.
By the crowd in carried
A layer of wood, never to improve
Lost all feeling; no longer worried
...
It all began,
From a single spark
Then I ran,
The fire lighting the dark
...
As the sunlight shimmers,
And the happy water glitters.
The trees breathe a sigh of relief
The pain devastating but brief.
...
From the sand and dirt, a man was born
Another one in his mother's hold
One was treated with pain and scorn
The other was seldom controlled
...
The angry scattering of books
The self-conscious mirror of looks
The calm bedroom, aura of perfume
The sad windows full of gloom
...
The Best Poem Of Dulan Kumarasiri
The Dying Tree
Across the pond, I saw a beautiful tree.
It stood out from an endless sea
It called to me, grinning and smiling
We laughed and danced, its bark shining
The leaves sparkled with happy dew
The wind in our sails harder blew
I was so glad I didn't even notice;
Stuck in my love filled hypnosis.
The steel that bound me: awestruck
Me to the tree, now I was stuck
I sadly stood;
Bound eternally to this lifeless wood.
I struggled, twisted and turned:
Hopes and dreams burned
My friends waltzed by
Some waved, some said hi
Then the rain came;
Soaking, drenching and cleansing my eyes
Removing the lie, and the disguise
The tree didn't care, it relished in the torrent
It never cared, nothing did warrant
Its bark echoed; hollow
My heart closed: sorrow
The steel tightened, its grasp unbreakable
The kindness frightened, pain unfadable
Trapped in four walls, whilst greener trees
Sang with the chirping birds and bees
The birds had built happy nests
While the tree was infested with pests
Bound by steel; there was no hope
Bound by my soul: my escape was a rope
It met an end,
Though I had died long ago.

Dulan Kumarasiri Quotes
You ever realise everyone wants change without changing?
When people isolate themselves from the thoughts and criticisms of others; they ensnare themselves in an inescapable ruin of echoes
If you have accepted the way you are, you have already lost
Love is like a double-edged sword that pierces through 2 hearts at a time, it cuts deep through stone and flesh to reveal the purest desires of a person
Don't feel bad about your circumstances, feel bad if you did not make the most of them
Why buy furniture when the house is burning down?
I don't eat knowledge, I snort that shit
Maybe sometimes it's better to shut up
You can be a silent intellectual or the loudest fool, yet only one of them will be heard.
It's the brightest stars that burn the fastest
Every day may feel the same, but you never see the same day twice
Do not be someone that chases the mirage seeking water
The true price of tasting greatness is seeing a watered-down version of it everywhere else
He who is accepted everywhere, truly belongs nowhere
It hurts the fruit less if the fruit falls from a tree that never grew as high (not mine)
