MY LOVE IS A DEEP SEA
In between space and time
Heaven stood still, with its wide eyes opened
watching the earth in solemn wishes, waiting
& waiting for the ample rain that never comes
As time rode past on a white horse, she knelt
down by the sea shore, supplicating all day
Stargazing all night, till the grey moon melts
into the dark sky, like ice floe exposed to sun
The dawn breaks the winter-blooming rose
Carrying ebullient winds, howling like a baby
"Moses-mother" has dropped him again, into
the angered sea with clasp of sinking waves
"May the wind sail you through" She melted into
the sea, the wind became a birch bark, seafaring
him to the unknown. The Samaritan at the coast
picked him up, the misty sky roared & thundered
There came the sharp-arrow-lines of a bloody rain
piercing the eyes of the thirsty earth, she took him
to the alcove behind the coast, where bodies are
frozen alive like the boomerang nebula in centaur
Icy hands became numb, begging for death under
the ice. She's now as naked as truth. Pierced her body,
hot blood oozed out melting the ice, wrapped him up
with the garment, her blood dripped slowly into a river
"Moses must stay alive to lead the Israelites," said
amidst drowning & dying, heaven is a blissful haven
Woke up to see him smile again, with tears she said
"my love is a deep sea, now watch the world drown in me"
