# Ocean's Love Poem by Shamik Kumar Bose

The naked Ocean in front of me
Lusty and vivacious.

Under beams of this moon so treacherous
She, wavy and desirous
Erupting into foams so organic
That come from her deep, so deep
Now wants to get me within
Forever!

What kind of love is this?
I wonder.

Like a naked dream,
Lying naked on the shore
I look at the moon;
It gives me a smile treacherous
Silent yet sensuous
Like a cupid's arrow,
It perforates my heart
Sprinkles desire, foamy yet unbounded!
A desire unknown, unheard!
Unfelt!

Now a fear so torrid engulfs
Like an ancient mariner
Ah! Ravaged as he was
By Ocean's torrid fathoms of love
O! Turbulent in blue shower of blood!

The Ocean seems more and more curvy
Comes so near that makes my dream drowsy
Her warm breath that I hear
I begin to fear
Under a laughter so girlish, so much silky
Foamy, profaned inside ecstasy
Thousand of kisses
Pour like a thousand cupids' arrows
Passions like a fire inside the blue deep
Kindle the same inside me
Yet seems so unworldly!

Now only I have one prayer
For a surrender!
Inside your love.
