දස දහසක් කවි

Ten Thousand Poems

If I create 10,000 poems,

my room and the halls
would be filled with paper,
And the roof would break
and shatter the windows,
fill the city and break someone’s clan,
fill up the country and takeover the lakes,
cover the rivers,
cut down all the trees,
stack so high and touch the sky

Filled with poems,

it would reach in space,
reach mars,
take all the planets and connect them,
break all the spaceships,
and fall down
covering the entire North America,
making a bridge to Asia,
takeover half of Russia

And after a few minutes
the world would be covered in papers,

If that happened…

The globe would be gray,
from all the papers,

I used…

මේ නිර්මානය වයස අවුරුදු නවයක් වූ සිඳුසර මුණසිංහගේය; කුඩා දරුවෙකුගේ ය.

 

මුළු ලොවම කඩදාසි ගුලියක් වන තරමට ම කවි ලියන්නට වැර දරන දරු පැටියෙකු වැළඳ ගන්නට මාගේ දෑත් දිග මදිය. එනමුදු මගේ වචන ඔහු වටා එතේ යයි සිතා බොහෝ ආදරයෙන් මෙය ලියා තබමි.

 

"ඔබ දස දහසක් කවි ලියා තබන මතු දිනයක අලුත් ලොවක්-අලුත් අහසක්-අලුත් සුසුමක් අප සැමට උරුම වනු ඇත."

 

 

p.s.

The poet would die of hunger if there were no shepherds. The shepherd would die of sadness if he could not sing the words of the poet.

 

Through the Offering you are allowing others to love you. And you are teaching others to love through what you offer them.
