A Shimmering Star......

It was a shimmering star

fallen from the sky

I kept looking on through

days and night everyday

I met her on the way

still remember the times

I spent with her

kidding like a brother

caring like a friend

loving more than a lover

dreaming about the horizon

wishing to go there one day

I made a place for her

in my small trembling heart

suddenly......

I felt empty in my heart

because she had left me

even without saying

I held back my tears

kept a smile over face

never went searching her

never asked her why

because she was a star

and I realized it

stars belong to the sky

my heart never does

but it knows that

there she's always

even I'm seeing it

far away standing from her

at last...I died innocently

without saying anyone

I'm sorry, we couldn't make it

horizon...it's still a dream

for you...but not for me

I'm here indeed

wish you would come here

want to say I love you

that I couldn't say you

ever never in my life......

I was dead......

I was no more there

feeling the cold

shivering and paining...

my heart was still strong

as it was earlier

tried smiling, but couldn't

no tears to cry even

tried remembering...

who I was, what I did

it was blacked-out

thought it was nightmare...

but it wasn't, because

everyone wished

sweet dreams, good night!

tried speaking to all

but, no one ever listened

so...started writing the story

I told them...be cool

don't think too much

hold the tears back

be happy...smile always!

I knew they didn't care

but, I was their friend

I loved them, cared them

didn't hope anything back...

I stopped writing

they had no time

for a boring story...

they didn't see me

but still I'm seeing them

still feeling them

but they didn't feel me

I'm caring and loving them

but they didn't

because....

I was already gone

I was dead...!

~blackpearl~

Love....it happens only once !

Far away beyond thoughts

infinite distance to my heart

I felt its fragrance no where...

searching it every where

crying for it sometimes

I had no journey of miles

no prayers, no hopes I kept

just a heart without it...

it laughed without smiles

cried sometimes without tears

sleepless nights without stars

the pain it held with patience

created a simple story

with complicated words...

it appeared and vanished

didn't know where it went

moment ago like an eon

I saw it rising at horizon

an eon ago like a moment

I lost it fading in the rain...

it never looked back

just faded away as a rainbow

as everything was forgotten

but it made its footprints

on my heart alone forever

just once in my life

I wanted to touch it

and hold it in my arms

saw such innocence in its eyes

its voice, had the kind of magic

I kept thinking, what it was

it was nothing, but

love...it happens only once

the rest is just life........!

~blackpearl~

Voyage...it was over !

Middle in the ocean

struggling with the waves

I looked at the star

just beyond the clouds...

I tried remembering

through time behind me

it was like yesterday

I saw it as a black ray

it dazzled upon my eyes

giving direction to a world

far away from horizon...

alone in the seven seas

searching for my path

I peeped here and there

it was raining...and lightning

I had no shelter, but

a broken umbrella...

holding it as my treasure

shouting at the ugly sky

I felt like turning back

it was a sudden turn

neither the way I came

nor the way I should go

but...it was my path

where I could see a star

just beyond the clouds...

with my two blind eyes

I touched its rays...felt it

it was still the same

nothing had changed

except I wasn't there

nothing had ever forgotten

except it was over,

because I was buried

deep in the ocean's heart

with flowers of the wind......

Uknown love

Living in a dream
looking for a life
I made a little hope
for my craving
unknown love……
loving her madly
in a desert of love
roaming with my
trembling heart
I thought and thought
where is she?
she shined as a star
smiled like an angel
and then
she vanished in a sudden……
she never saw
the dream I dreamed
she never heard
the song of my love
she never felt
the pain of my tears
‘cause she’s in the dream
that I dreamed forever……
it’s getting worse
I’m losing my breath
she’s not coming
that I know
still have a little light
that she will be here
to take my last breath……
bury my dreaming heart
in this desert of love
leave a little red rose
on the grave of my
poor dumb heart
I will know that
she has come
‘cause she loved him,
 but she loved me too...!

පැතුමක් ඇත දෙවියනි මට...

ඉපදුණ දා මහ පාරේ
වීදිය ඔබ ගෙයක් කළා
ඉරයි හඳයි තිබුණා මට
මගෙ පිහිටට මේ ලෝකේ...
හීනෙන් මං අවදි උනේ
අම්මා දැක ගන්නයි
අම්මේ ඔබ නෑ හිටියේ
වීදියේ මගෙ පුංචි පැලේ...
කිරි දත් ටික හැලුනත් මගෙ
මව් කිරි නැහැ මට ලැබුනේ
දන්නේ මං එක ‍වදනයි
'අම්මේ' ඒ ඔබගේ නමයි...
රබන් ගැහුවේ සිංදු කිව්වේ
කීයක් හරි හොයා ගන්න
අම්මේ ඔබ දැක්කා නේද
තාර පාරේ ඇවිද්ද හැටි...
බත් පතකට හිඟමං යැද
ගිනි අව්වේ මං හිටියා
අම්මේ ඔබ මා දුටුවත්
මිනිසුන් නැත මා දුටුවේ...
නිදි යහනට යන්න කලිං
අහස දිහා බලන් හිටියා
නෙතින් වැටුණා කඳුළු බිංදු
අම්මේ ඔබ මතක් වෙලා...
හදවත තුළ පුංචි කොනක
පැතුමක් ඇත දෙවියනි මට
මැරෙන්න පෙර මොහොතක්වත්
මව් තුරුළට වෙලා ඉන්න...!
