Palitha Ranatunge

I was at the window during the long nights
Watching you growing and fading
One day I was happy to look at your
full moon face, the other days
...

Dear friend! today I call you,
Yesterday I called you, my love!
While you away beyond the seas
Our past is a tombstone at the
...

Hey, may I whisper unto thy soul
And pour the pure liquid of my
Budding love into thy virgin heart
Feeling inexperienced palpitations
...

The creator of gods
For the benefit of own
Gone far creating demon
Cults picturing them as
...

The sulphurous smell
my mouth.
You left hastily
for you smell
...

A man of fifty
Gazed at the beauty of
A starry night,
With an amazing delight
...

You have gone, like a house
Was elegant and beautiful,
At a roadside, taken down
For road widening.
...

Having removed a cist of the brain
He lost half of his senses and memory
A part of the rupakaya(1) was removed
The relative part of the arupakaya(2)
...

I encountered them
Bundled into a tiny iron cage
At the poultry seller
All were feeble and hungry
...

Blue fairy where art thou
I pray for thy blessings
For my son, whom I made
Of wood, I being a carpenter
...

You have to catch my inward eye
When I throw away the sorrows of life
The entrance to the cave of eternity
With eternal happiness of nullity …
...

I was shaken at the gate
The queue was so long...
Having no haste, I waited but
I was shaken with anxiety
...

Tweet, tweet, twit, twit...
One morning before the sun comes
When cold misty dawn garlanded
My garden, a high pitched whistle of
...

My love, my little Persephone, taken by the dark king Pluto
Guarded by six headed monster at the gate of the dark world
I have played saddest tunes of isolation pleading for your freedom
It's true the entirety of the nature has wept together with my voice
...

Glittering dew who has compared to a tear falling on earth
Is now a truth thousands of dew falls on dusty brown sand
Having no embracement of a love overflowing on a green.
...

All this my creations and destructions
Around me until my evil take over
the entire world,
...

I know in my dreams you adore
my untold love,
My love lorn isolation with tear
-filled eye
...

hedgehog, Kingfisher, whistling duck, mongoose, and wild cat
thy refuge in my back yard
- an abandoned paddy field
I can only grant you a temporary stay permit
...

a cloud that floats away
in the red sky
held me stubborn
not to bleed internally
...

Darting millions of needles on my face
What is yonder Khyber Pass?
Naked face, naked eye, a trek ahead
A search party - only a single member squad.
