The Shore’s But A Sea Apart! Poem by Rosmin Elsa Mohan

The lonely blue kissed the sea
The sea herself bathed in blue
It seemed the blue kissed the blue
In the air, I felt it too.

The solemn swan made her way
Gently to lure, gently to sway
I saw the shore; it seemed miles apart
I saw the shore; ‘twas but a Sea apart

The sea of life; deep and vast
Changing faces, enacted fast
A tide pulled over, I heard a scream
The scream within a face to cast

To be, to kill for the wildest dream.

The eye where it all ended, where it all began
The unknown sea through which I ran
The shore was the limit, for the blue seemed high
Who swam did score, who leapt touched the sky


The sea did fill, the sea did spill
The shore did hold; the shore did kill
To swim across, to fight and stride
For the strong, yet not an easy ride
For the vain; to slain your pride
For the weak, to push up your side

Yet those who reach are but who sway
Along that sea, along its way
To drown, to leap.
To sow, to reap.
To reach out, to the unreached.

The blue blushed forth; crimson to red
The moonlight gaze galloped tight
It seemed so naïve to follow the light
But in a distance, I saw the shore turn bright!
