Ripples Of Smiles! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

Ripples Of Smiles!

Rating: 5.0


Oh! My Calm sea
Can I rest in your tranquil bed ever?
Today, your serene beauty touched me so deep
As I never saw you unperturbed ever.

A clement wind blew caressing your face
I have never seen such a phase of calmness,
Ever In your fiery stormed face.

Strings of tides gave a gentle kiss on forehead of sea shore
You soaked all the tears that came touching your heart
With a peck on cheek, a pleasant smile you presented ever
So serene beauty I have never witnessed ever.
You took me to its serene depth beauty of
Cascading thread of tides
making ripples of smiles one after another.
A network of Rainbow colored bubbles you went blowing thereafter.

Is it my heart so calm or you are calm today?
Is it my heart too singing a light music
That the strings of tides on which my hands are set on!

How many years did storms hit my heart?
How many ripples got broken and mended?
How many whirlpools took me to your turbulent bed?
After captivating me in turmoil of whirlpool
Did you feel pity that you left me back to shore of calmness?

Years of decades
A mild wind blew that soothed my heart for a moment.
How many tears of rain did my heart suck
For the storms of ripples you made in my heart?

Today, let me take a nap in your lap of solace
For I am not sure when the storm will arise to engulf me in its charm!

A storm is desirable indeed when it lead to sweet turmoil. It is alike taking a ride on giant wheel! A sweet poem.

The contrast of the storms in your life, with the the wild ways of the sea, then in it's calmness you find a stillness that comforts you! With spellbinding imagery you conjure up a triumph of visual therapy!
