QUIETER THAN THE OCEAN - Gopikrishnan Kottoor (India)

 

QUIETER THAN THE OCEAN

-         Gopikrishnan  Kottoor  (India)

 

Quieter than the ocean

Into which ships sink

What can be quieter

Than that

with all the inside cries

That no one hears

Quieter than the ocean

Upon which

The stars, are so bright,

As though

They are always searching

Drowned love.
