 Race-rider's girlfriend
Engines roar
Like beasts
Trying to beat
 Go over the other
My mind goes
Behind you
Around the track
My eyes have
Nor rest
Watching your
Every move
My heart is cold
Cold like lifeless
But still alive....
When I feel your
Warmth and love
Oh! God! Almighty Lord!
Please protect my love
Whatever happens
At the end
I need my life back!

The waiting
 When the rain drops splatter on my window pane
I wait for the warm sunny days to comeback soon
When the scorching sun tires me up at noon
I wait for the cool rainy days to return
When the treacherous guns and bombs shatter the peace
I wait anxiously for the dawn of peace and serenity
When failure and disappointment disturbs me
I wait for hope and victory to comeback tome
When the days that pass burden me
I wait for a tomorrow to dawn bringing me joy
When the memories of the past haunt me
I wait for dreams to come true
And finally I have waited so long
When realisation reaches me
That life is a long wait....

Inspiration
 The awakening light
Sets the mind alight
Words of inspiration flow
In the morning glow
Write them down on paper
Words flow through the mind
Wake up and write
Rhymes that flow around
Creating jumbles in one's head
Inspiration to write on paper
Words have settled now
Clear as the waterfalls
Rhymes have fused as one
Writing fiction and imagination
Write them all on paper
Heather de Lanerolle
The small hours
Night's late hour
The dawn
Another day
The world is still
All asleep
The silent air
 Stirs no life
Then the thickjungle
Begins to hum
In an early hour
From tired slumber
Animals move
Wings flap
As birds rise
Nests light up
Despite pale gloom
Sun is filtered
On the canopy top
A trickle of light
Descend down
Fragments of tune
Bring bird calls
A babble of noises
Then disturbance
As birds rise
Animals stretch
The morning yawn
An early hour
Brings up the sun
Miran Perera
Lonely passenger's song
I'm the lonely passenger
Who walks through the way
Who does not have a space
To wait, sit or stay....
 I'm the lonely passenger
Who has a weeping heart
But nobody hear the sound
I know the laughing art....
I'm the lonely passenger
Who forgets all the dreams
Just passing the days
Till death which cannot seems....
I'm the lonely passenger
Fed up of the journey of life
But brave to flash a smiles
And hide my tears in eyes.....
Lakmali Dharmawansa
Perpetuity
Don't weep at my grave
For, I'm no longer there
I'm the babbling brook
That whispers sweet nothings
I'm the gentle breeze
 That embraces you
When you're tired
I'm the golden sun beam
That peeps through your window
First thing in the morning
I'm the salubrious spring
That nurtures feelings of joy
I'm the twinkling star over the horizon
That activates your train of thought
I'm the stillness of the night
That lulls you to sleep
So, you see
I'm everywhere!
I'm everything!
