"සියාමා " කෘතියට ප්‍රතිචාර - ධම්මිකා චාන්දනී

පශු  වෛද්‍යවරියක ලෙස සේවය කරන ධම්මිකා චාන්දනී යෙහෙළිය  මේ සුන්දර සංවේදී කවි පෙළ ලියා එවා  තිබුනා.  කෘතියේ කියැවෙන එක්තරා අවස්ථාවක් මනස්පොතේ මවා ගැන්මක්.

It was a quick visit....
LIKE LIGHTENING
JUST about to fade off ......

In this stormy bond

Emotions on a roller coaster.....
a down pour  of tears..
soaking through my feelings...
My mind a battle ground
tearing me apart.

But,  there I was....
almost an Oscar nominee
struggling....
to hide the  feelings.....
to keep control.....     

Slowly.....
stealthily .....   
Keeping his hands on my shoulders....
When he kissed my forehead..... 
       
The current that went through my body..............         
My accelerated heart beat...... 
My trembling legs........

Slowly......
Carefully......
Reminded me .....
that he doesn't know 
how much I love him.

I wish he knew.
Hope is still fluttering its feathers...


MY LIFE

Weather stained with years...
Dreams were ceased....
If you want to know....
Scars are the road map.
My folks sailed across the sky....
boarding on clouds.
Leaving me behind
In a river of tears.
Lost was how I felt...
In the mines of dark.
Life was just a dream in the night....

Fought alone to conquer...

In the Autumn of my life
Appeared the Prince Charming
As an answer
For my silent prayers
Like a rope of ladder
Dropped from heaven
Into my world of dark mine
Hope fluttered and
Began to sing
It's best solo.

Time ticked Slowly
Stormy clouds brewing around
Wind blew thrashing
Against the tree limbs
The fog came in
On little cat feet
Along the bumpy road.
All the lights went dim
We were just shadows
On the walls.
Wounded each other
By the weapons of words.
Happiness sailed across the ocean
Crashing my sand castles.
