MY DEATH

ON MY DEATH
[ by Dr. Dharmadasa Tennakoon]

The time has so passed

In fast and fast

Thousands of days, and

Nights, in vain

Over the humps of sad

Feelings and hurts

Waned thoughts luster

The indignant mind

To refresh and restore

The decimated past

Monsoon winds

Blow fast from and over 
The Western Shores

Showers and mist soar

Over the wrecked windows

A shade of lightning

Brightened the darkness

O ho! "Mara" my Angel

In an amicable sneer

Crept unto my sight

Breaking of droop moods
Bent closer to my cheek

Whispered, calmly

"Thou hath more time"

Days and days

Nights and nights

Have passed in fast

Lonesome silly soul

Incite to my heart

To rest in disgrace

No longer to have 

More or less breaths

Floating fogs with 

The winds in the rain

Splatter on the outer walls

Sad dark cloudy shades

Cross over my heart

A flame of like-light

Crept  unto my sight

O ho! "Mara" my Angel

Bent closer to my cheek

Whispered, amicably

"Thou hath more time"

The World is in turmoil

The face and shape

On a thrust for 

Change and distort

Rivals in compete and lusts

Burst for curse and hate

Rigging over humane

I have nothing to 

Proffer this world

Wrath mind begins to 

Urge for the Destiny

The time has lapsed fast

With days and nights

With sad and joys

Lonely nights with

Sorrowful thoughts

Prompt my mind to 

Cease all sad and feels

Days are windy 

With dark clouds

Wet winter mist breeze

Shower in cold

Rapped rags kept on

Warmer my heart

A shade of a flame of light

Crushed unto my sight

O ho! "Mara" my Angel
Not come for the last time

Bent over my face

Whispered, calmly
And, rigouresly

"Thou hath more time"

Days have passed, so fast
Lonely soul sees the barren sky
Reddish weary lonely Sun
Sets down in the West Arc
Cloudy dark shades
Splash over the spheres
Sad fox stands to bark wanely
Foggy winds have come to
Commence the season
Chills are probing unto
Old rotten rickety bones
A flame of a shady light
Creeps down to my sight
O ho! "Mara" my Angel
Approached for the last time
Bent unto my face
Whispered, so calmly
"Thou hath no time"
"Time hast come"
