A Tale of a Single-handed Clapper (Not Another Ubiquitous Outburst)

Posted by Janitha Rukmal at 4:06 PMA hooligan swam along the seas of lunacies.
The specialists’ policies and the realists’ jealousies
Brutally tore off the vagabond’s fantacies.
Having fallen in for a ride with crabs
The world was pleased with his random sags
Having crushed himself against a frock that brags
He raped himself in those human labs.
In love with the wings that the celibacy brings
He sang his songs of wimps with grins,
At once when he saw just a blink of a wink
He flung his soul on a prim proper pink.
Caught up in a snare that meant a bridal pair
Never did he care for his due fair share.
Having sat for a rare but never-ending prayer
The single-handed clapper heads nowhere.
The girl I woo and the pill I chew.

Posted by Janitha Rukmal at 12:37 PMhas hit me at last
I toil it as it boils me
to be burnt so fast
In many faces and hearts I search
but hardly do I see
The multi-layered sulky pill
made to cure me.
At first it tastes so utterly sour
when the earnest words in waste
Yet when it’s leisurely chewed for hours
Much more bitter it tastes.
And I hear she curtly whispers
with a wink passed in haste,
“Is it you or the pills
thus bitter more in taste”.
“Baby neither of those!
what else could bitter be most?”
To reach that chummy and sweet kernel
ages it may take
The ups and downs ; seemingly eternal
cause me writhe with ache
I bear it all with mirth
Just for its own sake
I care for her fancies’ dearth
cause she strives a remake
The bliss I earnestly seek,
I may never win
The twists fate hath on its peak
might bequeath my grin
Fine, you call me a dreamer
who pleads for Godot’s grace
Faith shall be my soul mate
till its heir fits in place
The murkiest assortment

With a leech on its flap,
A horn of a fox
And a crumpled cap.
A five bucks coin,
A plate and a cup,
And a mat for a nap.
Food and shelter,
Lust and life.
All in one
With luck and strife.
Simple tastes
Or thrifty living
I know not
It's a stealthy viewing
The pilgrim of Sansara
Comprises these,
Myriad Sankara
In different degrees.

Posted by Janitha Rukmal at 1:28 AMHidden among the lost lives
Lied living lies.
Ridden amidst the cross fights
Cried both sides.
Ceased with a dazed ease
Leaderships appeased
Pleased with the leased bleeds
Talks did proceed.
The fame and names played a game
Sans a tinge of shame
The pain and brains took the aim
Never to lose again.
