Notes About The Poem

Ocean

"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop". Mother Teresa
Moonlight shimmers on the phlegmatic ocean. Creating a whimsical billow of prose. On the zenith of the print's folds, as spoken. The carol "Induces Sleep" by Seas' Compose With a sweep of waves, echoing your passion. Gloom made him unwise; life was a growing rose. Red-colored ripples amidst the white-blue foam The moments are short, and my love is now home. Seeing the crest of crimson sunset ripple  The azure ocean disappears after night. And each time I get adjacent, I whistle. It's a cool way, yet tough in a high stake fight. Earth is waning, and all are growing little. I can't cross the lines, and wait for morning light. Body, blood, and anguish are racing on board.  Rainbow prism waves tendril moist to kiss the chord.
