we cannot touch the sky

Sky never reaches the sea

Sea never reaches the sky...

Like the sky and the sea

However we try get closer

You're miles away from me

And I'm miles away from you...

Moon and the Sun

cannot shine together

Stars and the Sun

cannot glitter together

Earth never reaches the sky

The sky never reaches the Earth..

Like the earth and the sky

However we try

You never get closer to me

I never get closer to you...

Thus, we two are similar

to two parallel railway lines

which never meet together....

but moves forth.

  Prageeth Shanaka BCI

A hard battle is inside with words.

Harsh if put out in bad hard time

Hurting ones balanced mind.

Help someone to get rid of the struggle

Inside the heart of the little one.

Console a heart with lovely smiles and words

Making one happy from the bottom of the heart.

Sasindi De Silva Grade 11X

Full of many fury

But such a mysery

Never happened so badly

Thousands of shouts

Mounts of dead crowds

A hunter,like hawks

The blood pool,it flows

Children in a fear

Maidens in a tear

Fathers in a beer

Disaster of the year

Lots of frustration

Oh, the lord of navigation!

Today you've a contention

For thy great destruction

Curls,curls , curls of water

Foam,oh,foam soft and whiter

Turned to a demon,mean and fiercer

Oh,the salt chuck,lives are asunder!

-L.G.J. Onali Grade 10N (BCI)

I wonder why people can't communicate better

I hear angry voices from those around me

I see unhappy people

I want to surround myself with happiness

I am loving and caring

I pretend that people don't argue

I feel that everyone loves me

I touch their souls to make them happy

I worry that I will have a sad life

I cry when people hurt my soul

I am loving and caring

I understand that not everyone gets along

I say be true to who you are

I dream about feeling loved

I try to make others happy

I hope my life will be joyful

I am loving and caring

-Risidhu Ranmira 8 BCI

Orange as a heart of the sun

Made to warm my friends

I am surrounded by cold hands reaching toward me

My insides move like a dancer

Fueled I burn orange hot

I am a fireplace

-Risidhu Ranmira 8 BCI

But now I stay up late.

I always loved recess

But I never play any more.

I once thought I could fly

But now I know that isn't true.

If I could fly

I would travel around the world.

I never thought I would get good grades

But I might be able to graduate

I can't imagine getting old

But I can think what life would be like in high school

I won't dream without working hard

But I might play along the way to my goals

I used to play a lot

But now I know that hard work and passion will help me succeed.

-Risidhu Ranmira 8 BCI

Slithering, with venom in its mouth

Through the dry grass

So that it can bring bitterness to everyone

-Risidhu Ranmira 8 BCI

Whose speed was much faster than light

She set out one day

In a relative way

And returned on the previous night

-Risidhu Ranmira 8 BCI

Look and you'll see

My hair a golden brown

My eyes like the summer sky

My arms strong to hold you

My hands soft to care for yours

My heart open to show love

I'm here to listen and be part of your life

I never betray a friend

My friends are friends for life

I live to be a peacemaker

I hope to create happiness around me

I dream of family being together

It's all clear as can be.

That's positively, absolutely me.

-Risidhu Ranmira 8 BCI

Following the silence you left behind.

I have been living a life,

That I can never rewind

You walked past without noticing me

What am I to you-

A disturbing flea?

I see you laugh,smile and stay happy.

Why do you never tend to ask about me?

You see me glare at you every single day.

But you act as if you were blind.

I see the road that life has planned for me,

I'm in a path where I am confined.

As days pass by

My love for you will never die.

Some love can only exist as a silent devotion,

Blooming in one heart while remaining unknown in the other.

You’re the poem I never write,

but read a thousand times each night.

Maybe because one day I’ll stop pretending

that I can let you go,

and at the place where words end,

you softly appear when the world grows dark.

And letting you go requires me anyway,

until then I’ll keep reading you at night —

not just to remember, but to believe

that some things written only in the heart

are still meant to be spoken out loud.

Which gives us lots of goods

But people give him plastics

To damage the strong roots

He always stay with us because

He is kind and grand

But animals stay with him because

To make his heart strong

Forest has lots of green faces

To make the people calm

Sounds of them in slight wind

Take the peace and mind

Hands of the green trees

Are totally different than men

They are full of fruits and flowers

To make the nature lovely

Past green fields where soft wind blow.

Brids sing sweet in the morning light,

Everything feels calm and bright. The road goes by a small clear stream,

Flowers bloom like a happy dream.

The sun shines warm across the way,

Bringing joy to the day.

The car turns home as the evening falls,

The sky glow gold beyond the walls.

On this quiet road,l simle and see,

A peaceful place for me.

So here's what I do everyday:

I meow nice and loud at 6am

This usually starts to wake them.

Then, I scratch on the door

And make noises with my claws,

I find a good toy,

One that makes lots of noise

And I jump on the drawers And

Knock things on the floor.

And if that doesn't work, I get nice and near,

Jump on the bed... And just purr in their ear.

That grows with the rays of the sun ,

Even you have torns

You are sweet as sugar

Your petals are soft

As soft as girl's heart ,

I think and feel that

You are the nicest flower that grows

-Sakeena siras

Grade 7B BCI

Color faded where your laugh used to be

I found you in a drawer today

Between receipts and winter keys

Your shirt is something I remember touching

The sky behind you isn’t real anymore

But your eyes still know my name

Even when my voice forgets

I don’t cry much looking at you now

Just breathe slower, like you’re in the room

Sad that time keeps walking

Happy you paused for this click
