Who Would Believe? ?
Who would believe? ?
Through the stormy days came an unexpected ‘sorry I heard’
Hands of fate shared my painful news, leaving me so disturbed
Shocked, nervous, hands trembled with fear ‘oh god’ I mumbled…
Now what? Re read the lines as my world twice over tumbled
Heavens smiled, a friend, with good grace, caring hands to my side
To wipe away the tears that I cry and now very muich less to hide
Amazing words so kind, concerned but pity did i really need?
Days rolled into months that slipped into years, quite a speed!
Asleep or awake, am I a dreaming? Grasping hands in desperation
First fascination it was, took me to a world of love and devotion.
Beneath my sorrows, my heartaches and tears I took precaution.
But my heart once torn, tattered now filled with unexplained emotion.
As tender words blossomed a love, a real beaut deepseated forever
Embracing sweetness, hopes to the land where there’s no parting, ever
An illusion.another mirage? came a feeling, touching a heart…
Always at my side despite the distance, many an ocean apart
Unreachable, untouchable many moons ago, true love’s never late
Now who would believe that so close we be….the best of mates?
Rent free in my heart, a place with feelings of everlasting love.

An Angel Came..4th Feb....
?4th February....A golden afternoon.. In my heart lingers memories of that day
Not so long ago the sweet cry that rings in my ear
Is a melody so sweet bringing thoughts of that year
Memories of my little girl happiness and pride
Her very first day at school and tears I did hide
Holding hands walking with her made me glad
Thoughts of soon a lady she be made me sad
Into her class I did go she looked straight at me
Mum please forever you must always with me be
A kiss I laid on her cheek with whispers of love
The look of trust she shared I treasure it till now
Memories of that day will never ever go away
In my heart it lingers a sweetness to this day
Time whizzed by and came the day I did cry
All dressed in white in another's arms oh..I did sigh
With hopes for the best she walked away
Tears flowed will she have happiness to stay
Two lovely kids for the flavor to fill the cup of joy
A fragrance of love that none can destroy

happy Avruddha..yeqr 2012
Wishing All Our Sri Lankans blessings for A Great Year….
A beautiful Island glitters, a serenity filled atmosphere
The advancing IT world, Lankans steady in their progress
Loyal devoted our Sri Lankans rise above the trivial mess
The day dawns and united we see another old year out
As we prepare to welcome a new start without fear no doubt
A new beginning we hope and pray forever together we stand
The curtain falls on another year to bring in a wonderland
The Auspicious time rings in the Aluth Avruddha 2012 Year

Jasminah....A Happy Bday and Memories Unfold!
Dawns another year another day…..another bday, happy bday Jas!
My dearest beloved sis...hope you have an amazing memorable day!
Birthdays do unwrap fond memories of long gone blissful days
Bounties plentiful, together we played in so many elegan...t ways.
Under the green crowned trees the river flows more often freely.
Where the rich civilization blossom’s, and birds sings sweetly.
AreTucked up precious memories, can never ever escape I do find,
Childhood memories bloom in the flower garden of my waning mind.
Freedom fenced to share the innermost thoughts of confusion and more.
Yet through the years favors many you studded lovingly by the score.
The sisterly language perfected with snarls and frowns that we exchanged..
The liberty of being the worst and the best with smiles fondly uncaged.
A safety nest in this chaotic journey by being there for just each other
Blessed, an angelic sister, together we stood when we lost two brothers
Mum and dad all gone, the pain, the child cries inside us, never truly gone
A sweetness, that soothes the scarred heart with every dusk and dawn.
Is that special bond we share, of many precious memories of yesterdays
Let this birthday unravel the beauty the strength for glowing happier days
With unconditional love and the special cake from us that chaperones you

Life....Sweet Fragrance of A Womans Touch!
The Fragrance of A Womans Way Of Life
Mother/Teacher/Wife/Woman/Daughter
of
All Seasons and Reasons
Let it be Winter Spring, Summer, or Fall
She will nurture each dawning day with quality call
Wearing the fragrance of (Islam) faith trust and love
Lending her breath and time, a gift from heaven above
From dawn to dusk anxiously but gallantly slaves.
With no thought of resign but steadfastly she braves
In the darkest hour that flickers, she is the silver lining.
Weaving velvety, magical words, when hopes are dying.
Painting clear bright colors to richness, a happiness flowers
And meals to taste in the kitchen she devotedly hovers
Her touch, perfected, with an ever glowing radiance,
The beauty of her undying love, she scatters with elegance.
With comforting over worked hands, she cradles all troubles.
Despite the number, even if it scores by the doubles.

Daddy oh Daddy... Mummy Where Are You?
'A teenagers life as the dark shadows hover around her'
Daddy oh daddy...mum where are you?
...I wanted to do so much for you...just for you two
To a strange land i came just to be an asset to you
I hang down my head 'alone' as the axe comes through.....
She could have been a beauty queen.....
In the land of the earthly luxurious green!
My heart and mind with thoughts feelings in confusion do collide;
At what some parents do for an easy grand luxurious ride.....
Am now left with heart rending pain unexplainable feelings of nausea

You Are Always In My Heart
Time brings in...The Separate Ways
Amazingly awesome our journey with no reservation we did share,
Making my life so worthy, through the steps you took with loving care.
The joys, the laughter, the confusion the wet eyes that I did dry.
Watching you blossom into a beauty so steadily, a pleasure i can't deny.
The dancing days, the awful days, those questions, cannot be measured..
Filling my days with the sweetest fragrance, in my heart always be treasured.
The surprises, the bday cards, the mother's day, never missed till this day.
The cakes, the sweets, the lunches, the thoughts in my memory will stay.
My frowns you turned into smiles and kissed away the countless tears.
Your soft hands in mine as you helped me walk, took away my fears.
Our moments together with and without your friends never went stale.
But flowered with the fragrance of sincere love that always did prevail.
In my darkest hours you were that silvery light, that did so brightly appear.
Guiding me to enjoy the earthly paradise, with warm, lovable hugs so dear.
Now, with your luggage crammed up with your paintings and souvenirs I see..
All the gifts showered on you by your friends, teachers and family.
Oh don't forget the many things that brought in our little silly disturbances,
Division it brought us not as your eyes did sparkle knowing the all importance
‘Sultan Sulaiman' and those many recordings, the telephone hunt no more be.

As Fourteen He Touches!
Mother’s day’ and came a gentle voice with innocence so manly...
‘Biggy thank you for loving me’ his heart spoke so lovingly’
and Of course its my best ‘gem’ rare, he is my wonderful grandson
A gift a real blessing, a heavenly strength under god’s son
A grandson is a joy the greatest treasure from the sky above.
As His thoughtfulness, concern special is filled with sincere love.
Gracefully he’s grown, a young adult a big man, my teenager!
As the precious memories replay of those inescapable stages.
Of sticky gentle hands wrapped around me in a warm embrace.
His variable fears and his innocent tear streaked messy face.
Bundle of happiness ‘I recall’ holding him in my then strong arms.
Twinkling eyes, face aglow, filled my heart with much charm.
The golden glow of bright sunshine he filled each dawning day.
A guiding light, successfully never failed to shine all the way.
And Today I awake to see, now taller than me, a handsome man
As he touches fourteen holding my ageing and wrinkling hand.
Spreading a rainbow of happiness to everything in sight.
Smiling away many a sorrows to make the tomorrows bright.
A Journey into the past, recollecting dreams that did not unfold.
Many pleasant days we share of the same path that I once strolled

Came 23rd morn May 1963
CAME..23rd MORN May 1963
Daddy the 'First Only True Love' In a Childs Life
The saddest, is a heart that has seen a knife
A dad's death a pain, unexplainable and a strife
Our hair neatly combed and to perfection
Our uniforms neat, mum did not fail satisfation
Holding daddy's hands to school we went
After two rainy days at home, which we happily spent.
We were surely not afraid to innocently say
Daddy dear didn't send us 'yesterday'
He said the rains will make us very ill
Our classmates smiled strangely and stood still.
But our teachers clearly tried to tell us so,
Daddy will not forever be at your door.
As kids 'YOU' wll fail to understand,
Time can be so cruel with the clocks hand.
Laughing and singng so merrily
It was a lovely drive home so joyfully
Kreme Crackers, cheese and tea with dad
Away we went for tap dancing and with dad
