Ocean is hidden <br />At the core of my heart <br />Its wrinkled surface <br />Is on my aged skin. <br /> <br />Thoughts of waves <br />Hit repeatedly <br />Rocks on the shore <br />Laying bare the mind. <br /> <br />Lying on the sand <br />In hot noon sun <br />I got turned into <br />Baked eggplant*. <br /> <br />Who can isolate <br />The ocean in me? <br />The ocean inside's <br />Broader and deeper. <br /> <br />*'eggplant' is also called 'brinjal' in many countries<br /><br />Tirupathi Chandrupatla<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ocean-in-me/
