# Mariana Poem by Shamik Kumar Bose

/* This poem is on Mariana Trench- the deepest in Pacific and this world */

O Mariana!
Had I not seen thee in such a sweet dream?
For once only in a lifetime

Ah! Thy mother so quietly serene
Calmly naked in blue divine
Flows around her God's own care
Like her immense profound bare

Alas! She put you inside an oblivion
As if in some shame
In some shy
She prefers you to be unnamed
Unseen
Untouched by
Trembling inside a fear
God's curse may not fall again
On such a Dear!
O! Never! Never!
Preserves thee so zealous inside a deep
Sun's light ever forgets to peep
Sweet nymph Mariana!


O Mariana!
Wonder if you ever know what is a desire
The tremors wavy inside her breast
When they all rage inside a tempest
Never ever to accept thy fate
A typhoon inside so unrest!

O Mariana!
What else thee may ever know?
This solitude
Ah! So incessant
This depth
So melancholic indifferent
Throbs thee inside in deep resonance
Tunnels through a cosmic silence


Thy ecstasy
Only may lurk in thy depth
Like a sob remains
That penetrates inside eternity!
