Goodbye my angel

I once knew an angel
Who was dear to my heart
I fell in love with this angel
Who captured my whole heart

Liking changed to loving
Loving joined with caring
Caring increased the sharing
Because of this we kept on loving

We went strong and time passed by
We were so honest, we did not lie
People started scolding us, do you know why?
Because I was so serious with you, I was ready to die

I never thought this love will go this far
And keep on shinning day by day like a shooting star
Our love was so mellow, like the tunes of a guitar
But why did you leave me and go so far?

I can't even imagine my life without you
Know why? I'll tell you, my whole life was you
I never thought I'd write a poem like this to you
A poem waving my hand saying goodbye to you

I lie awake

In sleepless nights
stretch further with each passing day
I'm afraid to sleep
not because of nightmares but because of dreams
dream on you with endless beauty and silent passion
I fear the insurmountable temptation of dreams on you
A person I love so dearly but also someone I can never have
You will never be mine because you are everything and I'm no one
what's the purpose of an imaginary love that will bring me only pain
But pain is tolerable because the reward of loving you is greater
I'll bear an eternity of suffering for just one day of your love
till then I lay awake afraid to go to sleep

Serenade

Sitting on my bed - mind rushes home
Seeking mother, father and my sibling
I gaze out of the window
whole environment is immersed in gloomy mauve
everyone in deep sleep, dreaming
But, I'm sleepless
Oh! I hear you calling me, my dearest mum
And dad smiles with me
It looks so clement
redolent me, our little family
in our supernal home in past days
having our own world
reflecting your kindly faces
tears fidget in my eyes
everything you gave me is precious like emerald
How my life has changed - no way to be with you a day,
I feel like an aeon
How many days will be left.
I won't regain my freeful life
I'm very lucky to have you as my parents
You are my God and Godess
In my heart
I'm forlorn - in this noisy hostel
Sitting on my bed - live in a celestial world
that's my home

Lonely lioness,

Carefree lioness,
once fell in love
with the bright young
Moon in the sky

Little she cared
For the distance,
A bright future
All what she dremt

Days passed, full moon died,
Cresent showed up in silence
Leaving lioness in the dark,
Truth now she wants to see

Power of love she believed
Wow she makes to see the truth,
Her wish has come true,
Finding the bond,
She never saw
To the bright little star
In the midnight sky,

Heart broken she is today,
The lioness, seek courage to live,
The dreams she had so close that
Lead her to fall dead today.

"Worry no more"
She says to the Moon,
"Take your chance &
Shine for your star"
She who awaits
Your eternal love

Promise she makes today,
Not to cross his path again,
Happiness forever,
All she wishes for everyone

Oh dream!

Oh! my dearest dream,
The day I saw you
The day I saved you
It is impossible to delete you

I admired you the following day,
And thought how it would be if it's true,
Hope you're always mine,
And none to grab or share,

It is impossible to forget you,
So much you captured me,
Hope you be real one day,
And never end so soon any day.

Need you desperately.

I only feel complete
when we're together,
but I need you to tell me
how much you love me.
Make me believe it's true.
Give my heart a reason to remain
dedicated to you.
Maybe what you feel for me is much
greater than three little words,
but I want to hear you say, them.
Don't hold back;
speak the words I long to hear
Everyday, I pray
that you've given me your heart,
not just a little bit...
And I don't want to be the last
to know how much you care for me.
Just let your emotions ooze,
and tell me what you feel for me,
because I love you,

Nuwan de Alwis.
