SEAS ARE SERENE
The seas do seem to be serene!
The blues are trying hard to limn
a false quietude on the red within.
The Sun or Moon suspect no sin,
the men who sail along the flow
do have no qualms of wild billows!
The seas do seem to be serene!!
Inside the usual skirmish
goes on un’bashed, but yet hush-hush,
where strikes a shark a smaller fish;
a whale in turn consumes the shark!
Some where in deeper waters, sparks
an ocean-fire that’s charring lives
The seas do seem to be serene!!!
(2010)
In the following poem the allegory serene sea leads to several images, anything that looks outwardly calm; like a face, mind, a man, woman or even the society at large.
