Dreams and the Ocean

Tumultuous waves of the coral sea
merge and break against the mute rocks
An uproar.Oh! a magnified uproar
reaches the depths of the depthless skies
dependent,vacant and tearless.they cry
Why the gales float?suspended animation
and quivering at every turn.They seek to
find an oblivion of the patient shore.
Petrified
Amused
Desolate
Dead.
And the winds scream the hollow terror
unheard,unseen the ghost of the distant pasts
unfurled beyound the horizon
and the carcass of our golden dreams lie
Unclaimed
Rotting
Forgotten
Decaying.

If I have got it right which I think I did, I think its better to let those things turn to dust. Nobody wants, understands or feels them anymore. Or rather pretend to not.

This poem sort of related to how I feel every now and then...so many dreams lie unclaimed, rotten, forgotten and decaying...I really love the last line...it gives a face to my mysterious feelings. Marvellous work Ash!

dreams ,which were unclaimed.
weaving the songs ,
symphonies, melancholies,so blazed.
with bated breaths and heaved silences.
we r waiting fr the nirvana 2 b attained.
the effulgence of death cant b retained
but its for u my dear
keep the hope alive
from the ashes decayed.:))
