Jayatissa K. Liyanage Poems

Having faced many losing battles
invaders absconded for good, reluctantly though
Leaving a host of imperialistic remnants
For us, to choose and fight against or live with
...

Roughness near the smoothness
Coarseness intimately with fineness
Tranquility collaterally with turbulence
Disarray alongside with orderly design
...

Defense base's glory, ablaze
gleaning in starry display
erected a giant smoky column
within a fire work flaunt
...

In dawn's first light unto dusk's twilight
Just one phrase and one rhythm, he repeats
"Today's draw... its in bundles and bundles ...!
Take away your fortune.... and it's yours...."
...

Spotless typing
She is capable doing
Endless task, is, typing
Completes, sans grumbling
...

Minuscule sized
Caught none’s wit
Ever getting kicked
Yet, a cruise ahead
...
