That Place in My Heart |  Anuradha Fonseka - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

That Place in My Heart | Anuradha Fonseka

Yes you were correct
You have no place in my life
Only a tiny but special place in my heart
That place my boy, is dark
Yet lightened by candles and stars above
It smells of black roses: intoxicating and relaxing
I tread there light-hearted and blissfully
Laughs and mischievous jokes
Witty remarks and playful grudges
That place has no name
Just you and me, no meaning

Do Not Accuse Him |  Anuradha Fonseka - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Do Not Accuse Him | Anuradha Fonseka

Do not accuse him my love
You were wrong not him
You created the gap, he just filled it
Or I let him fill it

Do not accuse him my love
Your harshness was too much to bear
He just came and smoothened the wounds
Or I let him do that

Do not accuse him my love
You did not care
He just came and cared a lot
Or I let him care

Do not accuse him my love
You left me alone
He just came and accompanied me
Or I let him do that

Do not accuse him my love
If you lost my love, it’s because of you
Not because of him who loved me
Or I let him love me

Do Not Sigh My Darling Do Not Do It |  Anuradha Fonseka - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Do Not Sigh My Darling Do Not Do It | Anuradha Fonseka

Do not sigh my darling do not do it
I want to feel your warm breath not your sighs
I want to hear your laughs not your cries
Do not sigh my darling do not do it

Whisper softly into my ears
The deepest thoughts of your heart
The fears, the dreams, the love
Yet do not sigh my darling do not do it

I know what you are afraid of
I know where your dreams are directing
But not the sighs you let out
When you think of me and us

I do not know where these sighs go
I do not know if that is uncertainty
Or the utmost despair
So do not sigh my darling do not do it

Do you know how fiery these sighs are
Do you know how they burn me
Do you know how they ruin me alive
So my darling do not sigh I beg you do not do it

Plural and Universal |  Naduni - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Plural and Universal | Naduni

I was solid
But you were fluid
I was determined
But you were undecided
I was dedicated
But you were preoccupied
I was hopeful
But you were existentialist
I believed in you
But you believed in none
I wished for a child of you
But you laughed at the very thought
I yearned for stability
But you dreaded the very thought
I and You are plural
Since every woman and man is similar
When they are in love…
