THE DEEP SEA

WHEN I EXTENDED MY ARMS

TO HUG THE ENDLESS WIDE DEEP SEA

IT SLID AWAY FROM ME

LIKE A JELLY FISH

I ASKED IT,

''HEY DEAR,WHY DO YOU

HESITATE TO HUG ME''

SUDDENLY A GIANT TIDE

CAME AND DRENCHED ME

WITH ITS HUGE ARMS

I TASTED THE SALTINESS

WHICH YOU GAVE ME

I WORE THE CROWN THAT

YOU GAVE ME FROM THE

PALACE OF DEEP WATER

YOU ALWAYS WELCOMED

THE NEW ONES,NEVER

REJECTED THE OLD ONES EVEN

COUNTLESS DAYS AND NIGHT

CAME TO YOU

ENDLESS RAIN AND SNOW

FELL UPON YOU

BUT YOU STOOD UNCHANGED ALWAYS

ALL HUMANLY EMOTIONS 

EVOKE IN YOU AND

SUDDENLY FAINTOUT

SOMETIMES THE COLOUR OF

LOVE,FRESHNESS,DREAM AND LIFE

BUT ATTIMES YOU SHOW 

A VIVID COLOUR TOO

WITHOUT GIVING A SCOPE

FOR ANYONE TO UNDERSTAND

YOU SUDDENLY BECAME SAD,ANGRY

AND ALSO AGGRESSIVE

I WOUNDER HOW CAN YOU 

HOLD ALL THESE DIVERSE

EMOTIONS WITHIN YOU

EVENTHOUGH THE WAVE OF 

HAPPINESS ARISE IN YOU

YOU BACKOUT WITH THE

DESPAIR OF BLACK

THE WHITE STARS BLINK

AT YOU LIKE  LOVERS

THE SILVERY MOON KISSES YOU

LIKE A WIFE

THE BURNING SUN CARES 

FOR YOU LIKE A PARENT

YOUR HEART IS SO WIDE THAT

YOU ACCEPT EVERYTHING

PEOPLE OFTEN THROWS

THEIR DREAMS AND PAINS TO YOU

THE SKY AND THE GALAXIES REVEAL

THEIR WEAKNESS TO YOU

THE STARS AND THE MOON SHOWS

THEIR SOFT FEELINGS TOWARDS YOU

BUT YOU ALWAYS STOOD STILL

WITHOUT BEING 

CONQUERED BY ANYONE

YOU JUST WAVE AT THEM

A SWEET 'GOODBYE'

EVENTHOUGH WHEN THERE IS A

WIDE WORLD AROUND YOU

YOU ARE ALWAYS ALONE

AND SEEM STRANGE

NOONE EVER KNOWS 

WHAT YOU WANT AND

WHOM YOU LIKE

BUT I LIKE YOU,SINCE

YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND
