"I Said to Love"

  I said to Love,
"It is not now as in old days
When men adored thee and thy ways
   All else above;
Named thee the Boy, the Bright, the One
Who spread a heaven beneath the sun,"
   I said to Love.

   I said to him,
"We now know more of thee than then;
We were but weak in judgment when,
   With hearts abrim,
We clamoured thee that thou would'st please
Inflict on us thine agonies,"
   I said to him.

   I said to Love,
"Thou art not young, thou art not fair,
No faery darts, no cherub air,
   Nor swan, nor dove
Are thine; but features pitiless,
And iron daggers of distress,"
   I said to Love.

   "Depart then, Love! . . .
- Man's race shall end, dost threaten thou?
The age to come the man of now
   Know nothing of? -
We fear not such a threat from thee;
We are too old in apathy!
Mankind shall cease.--So let it be,"
   I said to Love.


Thomas Hardy

A Dream

Once a dream did weave a shade
O'er my angel-guarded bed,
That an emmet lost its way
Where on grass methought I lay.

Troubled, wildered, and forlorn,
Dark, benighted, travel-worn,
Over many a tangle spray,
All heart-broke, I heard her say:

'Oh my children! do they cry,
Do they hear their father sigh?
Now they look abroad to see,
Now return and weep for me.'

Pitying, I dropped a tear:
But I saw a glow-worm near,
Who replied, 'What wailing wight
Calls the watchman of the night?

'I am set to light the ground,
While the beetle goes his round:
Follow now the beetle's hum;
Little wanderer, hie thee home!'


William Blake

අපේ ආදරේ

නෙතු තෙමුනා ඔබ මතක් වෙලා
හිත හැඬුවා ඔබ ළඟ නැති නිසා
දුක හිතුනා හිත රිදවලා
ආදරේ හිතුනා ආයෙත් ඔබ සිහිවෙලා

පුන්චි පුන්චි දේවල් වලට කඳුලු පාවෙලා
ගියේ හැමදා හිතේ ආදරේ නිසා
ආ මගේ සොඳුරු සිතුවම් ආයෙත් සිහිවෙලා
හිතින් හැඬුවේ අපි දෙතැනක නිසා

හිතට හොරා සීතලේම හිත පාවෙලා
සිහින කුමාරියගෙ සිහිනෙට හද පේවෙලා
ආදරණීය දවස පුරා සිහින යාවෙලා
දෑ අවුරුදු ඇවිත් ඔබට හිත ආදරේ වෙලා

A sweet Heart break

Some unsung songs
Thrive my heart as I wait
Dim glow of her smile clones
more hatred for me
with what I already hate
the most loving things
I let be by gone
smile at me though I am late
I see, I smile and i feel the gold
hence my senses still pay
homage to your love .....

ආදරේට ලියන කවි

වියලුනු කොල
ලුනු මුසු සුලඟ
නිල පිරුනු දියඹ
පාකරන සුවඳ
හද පිරුනු විලඳ
තවරලා ඈත
පෙනෙන පොඩි හඳට
එවන්නම් හනික
හෙට ආයෙ රෑට 

හඳ පේනකොට
ඒ හඳේ පාට පාට
පොඩි හා පැටවුන්ට
කිව්වා කියන්නට
මන් ආදරෙයි ඔයාට

ජීවිතේ සරදම් ....

A world for them all ....

නෙතු පියාන හිනැහෙන්නම් ....

White Hair ....

Is it to say that ;

I am getting old ?

or is it to say

you are different among others

or else is it to say 

" I don't care about you "

or to show how intelligent  I am ;

Else to tell others 

" This is a attention seeker "

W.A.D. Joel Lennon

Time will come ......

He smiles hence it is his duty

They cheers for all the work done , a beauty

a plastic tray seriously balanced on a hand

The kitchen sink is the final destination to land

why does he want to be so down with what he gets?

A mistake still counts though the other never lets

confusing , heart breaking , lamenting inside

a tiresome hand needs a rest a while

he walks , he walks and smile

they smile , he smiles like a small child

fate does not count on what he does

a time will come for him to stop what he does .....

W.A.D. Joel Lennon
