From The Black Ocean Poem by Ponniah Ganeshan

I saw you in my dream last night after so many years
You would have seen me too, in yours
I believe
The way we departed from each other is full of grief
The grief that no one could endure in life
Your face emerged from the black ocean
Glittered with a smile deeply hidden of thousands of words
That I myself could only read
With the silence that I could only enter and dip

You asked me how and I asked you the same
We shared the days we had enjoyed together
I came to grief when your face suddenly vanished
And only half seen
I shouted I wanted to see your face again
The face I long and never forgotten
The face, the face with lips sweetened
With the widen eyes, sharpened nose and cheek
Lightening
In my poem written

But your face vanished in thin air
Leaving me high and dry
I am left with nothing but your sweet memory
Yet, I am awaiting for another night to see your face
Will you appear again
And solace my wounded heart, at least in dream
