# The Darkness Inside Ocean Poem by Shamik Kumar Bose

I can hear! Hear again that sound
Deep, so deep! Silken profound

Thy breath so dark, thy silence whispers
Thy moist sigh inside salty winds wafts!

Like a lovely dream dense in advance
Come ye soft so near in velvet desire

Thy waves so clam, now forget to ruffle
Ye look like a purple under a drizzle

Where gone thy vigor? Thy splash, thy shower
Lonely am I in thy shore that I often wonder

Why thee so calm, thy breast so sunk?
Ye love us like a tempest, yet inside a monk!

Yet I hear the song that sing thy sirens
Reflects from thy breast whom lonely Moon kisses.
