SEA
Transient big waves
on the visible surface,
Large static silence
inside deep, invisible.
Colourless yet blue
at places assuming other
colors bestowed by nature.
Sea is overall vibrant.
How is that the one
inside me is uncanny.
Motionless over the top
Motionless beneath.
And black everywhere.
No breaking of monotony.
It screams, night and day.
It cries badly, for what pain?
Whole night I spend like
moon and stars awake,
Looking out for reasons
of this agony, unexplained.
And I continue to fail
With each passing day
Reasons become more
and more difficult to comprehend.
Sea inside me is screaming.
High pitched. Ever increasing.
I am efforting desperately.
Toiling nights, toiling days.
