TEMPEST
-
Sudeep Kumar Roy Choudhury (India)
The crescent orb was hiding in her mother’s
womb,
The tranquillized sea not gleaming with
silver beams,
No stars shining in the firmament above to
follow,
What a night! Looks so gloomy-
Thors and thunder roaring incandescently,
Filches the soul of this universe,
The sea was never so in strife-
Circled by windy Titans,
Galleon of mine tossed-
Flung high, on soaring mountainous waves,
To kiss, the clamorous murky billows,
Plunged to the depths of sea.
A flurry of rain arouse,
The prodigious waves roll in anger,
Lashing against the rugged cliffs-
The rocky palisades boasting high to embrace
the raging winds,
Announcing it’s eternal love.
A flickering flame-
Illuminating my soul in the shadows,
Emitting a ray of hope.
