Dual dial
I saw two eyes burning bright
In one of their happiness-sunny faces
I saw those eyes shining bright
When others' were sorrow-cloudy faces!

Myself
The deep angst inside me
Compels to think
Whether he is an idol of the truth or disgust
Yet reality swears that he is a 'Kasyapa'
Who roams tasting the every single nectar of his sphere
Where I am a mere object
Although the truth awaits beside me
I am spelled by his glamorous appearance
Though I see his mistress who kisses his psyche and
Stabs my very heart
Still I am peeping to the deep dark
Cell of life (existence) where my conventional
Wailing figure is parting
I am trembled to fish out his love affection
But I am a dame who has "nothing" except my "chastity"...

Delayed...
Several times we met
Those times we smiled
One month ago
You and me
Were good friends
One day you told me...
I saw you
When I dream at night
That day I couldn't understand
What you meant
Later
I knew what you meant...
But now I feel I'm delayed
Because you are a good husband
To your wife...
Madu Kodithuwakku
The Goddess
The Goddess from heaven
Stepped on earth
Sparkling blueness of her eyes
A stillness.... an enchantment
Drowned in her warmth of love
Ecstasy in her face
Carried me to the world of divine
Her breathless laughter
Sweet as a summer rain
Wrapped me with unalloyed pleasure
Her hand clasped mine
Touch of her balmy palm
Healed my sores inside
Her amiable approach
Saved me from the hawk eye
The words she uttered
"My angel! come to me"...
Pacified my soul and body
Her sacrifice....
Engraved in my mind
I soon perceived
It's you... my dear Mum
Placate me in your lap
Cuddle me singing a lullaby
A world of Vicissitudes
I feel.... I'm lost...
Dear Mum!
It is easy to find a solace?
U. A. U. Bhagya Weerasinghe
Hope
One who brings
Whole happiness to me
How that vanishes
Whole sorrows from me
What else, there is
To gain than this....
Only vision and
Only voice is yours
That I hear and see
All the way
How can I express the affection
This love is super, superior....
My dear daughter
You are the only hope of mine

Dreams
Vivid visions
Flash past
An idle mind
Ideas abound
Nature varied
Make believe
Numerous
Ideal fancies
Build up
On strength
Strong faith
When all lost
Courage bound
Fortitude
Colour the mind
Will power
Surpass hope
Infusion needs
Blood of strength
Nature turns
To success
As dreams
Come real
To those lost
