Bokken Love

The 'bokka' is a 'maara' thing with a 'maara' sense of humor

It's where the 'sira' feelings lie in wait for something 'niyama'

It's not as 'pissu' as the heart and is faster than the brain

It's where the 'ginna' really starts to burst out into flames

It 'veli, veli' waits for years and you think it isn't there

Then 'eka parata' you feel it jump and love is in the air

It makes the senses open up, 'budu ammo' what a feeling

You're shocked and stunned and ask yourself if you're 'hitagena' dreaming

Everything is going well and life is 'harima' lovely

You've even gotten close to God and find yourself in 'palli'

'Hina muhuna', twinkling eyes and a bounce in your walk

But 'chuttak inna' if you can and listen to my talk

Even though the 'bokka' takes you on a 'soosthi' high

'Balagena' when you fly off into the deep blue sky

Hold on to your precious 'papuwa', just in case it runs

And remember that 'bokken lauw' happens only once

I know that a few of you might 'shape-eke' disagree

But it's an 'igena gaththa padamak' I'm giving you for free

So 'hithala mathala' do your thing, I won't tell you how

But 'bokken lauw keruwahama, wennema mala illaw!'
