I still look for you, even in Google Maps

Once in a while
I'd take my phone out
and search for you
on google maps.

I search for Mattegoda, Kottawa;
in this town
a premordial heartbeat exists
and love is terrific madness.

I switch to satellite view
run through roads, thinking,
this must be the route
you take to drive home.

I watch the paddyfields you pass by,
the thin roads, petti kades,
sal gas junction and every landmark
necessary for quick recall.
I study the roads,
again and again.

I look for 
the distance from Nugegoda to Mattegoda;
and it is so small 
that it is only the length
between forefinger and thumb
when moving on a touch screen.

You know what?
On maps
we are so close, that,
just by pinching two fingers
you and I can be brought together.


In your absence 
I check Google Maps
because you are close
everytime.

I only want a few things

Source: Internet 

I only want a few things-
One is to sit by a beach
and chill with a beer.
Two is to fly like an eagle,
at topspeed, leave no trace.
Three, I want your body to be with mine,
feel your spine and nerves more.
Four, I want your fingers
to run through my hair.
Five, your eyes, caress
And sixthly, tie your heart with mine
let all fears burn and die.

මුහුදෙ රැල්ල සහ උඹ

Source: Internet 

මුහුදෙ රැල්ල එහෙමයි. 

කොච්චරවත්
ගල්කුළුවල හැපි හැප්පි
උඩින් ගියත්  
ඉම්බින්නෙම වැල්ල 

උඹත් හරියට ඒ වගේ 

නිතර නිතර
මං ගැන විමසුවත්
ඉම්බින්නෙම
අනෙක් හදවත්

Filter

These wrappers burn for me
The filter is yours 

Even after a smoke
Every now and again
You keep sending up
Smog in swirls
Barely breathing

Seldom forgotten
So hard not to die
You take me on a trip
Down that lane named memory

You are the heaviest
weights I lift

Questions

Source: Internet 

How many hours and minutes does it take
for a heart to sail to another?

Is there anything sadder than
a heart that waits for a heart that never arrives?

Tell me, do you still love me and do you still
wait for me like you used to?

How deep is a hole in the heart?

Is it as deep as the mouth of
Congo River?

Where do all the clouds go?

What of rain that has not touch the earth,
do they stay in small lakes inside clouds?

To you, with love

In the early pre-dawn hours 
there is nothing I hear
but your voice,
whatever I look for is you.

Source-Internet. Drawing by Federico Garcia Lorca 

You dance in my chest
often throb and pinch.

You-
A wide sky
A breathing star
I could watch again and again
And never get enough of.

You-A fathomless river
once drowned
it's escape impossible.

You-
A fine art
Of many complex things
put in a thin sack! 

You, a calligraphy
A wished-for song
can read and recollect.

ෆිල්ටරය

පිච්චෙන කඩදහි මට
ෆිල්ටරය උඹට 

බීම අවසන වුනත්
නතර නොවෙන 
ඉඳ හිට හෝ දුම් දමන,
හෙමින් හුස්ම ගන්න.

කලාතුරකින් අමතක වෙන
ලේසියෙන් මිය නොයන
පරණ මතක එක දෙක අවුස්සන
උඹ,
බරම කන්දොස්කිරියාව
