මේ ඒ නිමිත්තට ලියවුනු දෙවැන්න . ලියලා තියෙන්නේ නම් ඉංග්රීසියෙන් තමා . එය රස විඳීමට බාධාවක්
කරගන්න එපා (නොවේවා )
"Sideburns : you know
that what's left
of Nirwana nights
of guitar rifts
of Iggy pop jams
of a rock and roll past
Sideburns : you know
is all what's needed
to keep it in you
like a shot of
Rockland rum,.
Red.
still alive in your belly
burning from within"
He says.
He still wears his black leather
in this balmy Colombo weather
Him and I
both gaze deep into
the blurred horizon
beyond
The Indian ocean
as she babysits the full moon
as she lulls herself
to sleep
but I notice
that the sideburns
are cut crooked
are turning grey
but I
keep silent
The way you had written this in Sinhala took me by surprise. Like the baby sitting the full moon. Amazing talent.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Somethings are best communicated in English. It is a weird feeling. Thinking in Sinhala of Things English and then writing them back in English.

DeleteNot only sideburns but also same other burns change the tone when the time come.
ReplyDeleteVery true
DeleteDigested two posts together.. Rock is not my favorite but of course that culture and literature on that.. just amazing the way you pen this in to paper.. both in Sinhalese and English. Keep that 'nimiththa' hiding and continue writing on this.. two thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
