Ranjith Wijekoon Poems

When I came to
the end of the world
my mind was ready
to let go of
...

Some people come to this world
for a purpose,
to accomplish a task,
and when its done
...

Two chili plants
With identical origins
They are of the same kind
...

I have given up
everything I held dear
but it was not
renunciation
...

Dreams and memories
collected and bundled together
lie under and around headstones that stand
to scar the earth at random intervals.
...

It is said that
the angel of death
likes to embrace
lives full of youth
...

It is time again
to come to see you

Every year I bring my self
...

Come, be with me
Don’t say a word

Just be in front of me
...

Your cooking is great
I told you once
you offered to teach me
because you love me
...

I couldn’t take your hand
we couldn’t make family
we couldn’t even say
we love each other but
...
