Drowning my sorrows in the ocean <br />I sat there on the sand...... <br />Ocean, the Alchemist, turned them all to <br />Shining silvery pearls <br />And scattered around me..... <br />A handful of beads from the roaring waves <br />For every heart to leap in joy <br /> <br />Bubbles are not silly, <br />Easily breakable, full of air <br />Fascinating-carry all the rainbow colours <br /> <br />A hollow pipe and soapy water <br />Boys and bubbles in the air <br /> <br />The falling cataract <br />Forming snowy white foams <br />Seduces us to sing and dance <br /> <br />The frothy wine on the lips <br />Omar Khayyam’s passing kiss <br /> <br />Your praise like a bubble <br />Brings me pleasure with pride <br /> <br />The child with milky foams moustache <br />Makes the mother laugh with delight <br />Children in the surf <br />Make me nostalgic <br />The foams of a moving canoe bring me <br />Thrill with cold wind <br /> <br />The making and breaking bubbles <br />Of the falling rain-thro’my window <br />Brings to me the transience of life <br /> <br /> <br />May I immerse in you, Ocean...... <br />My unanswerable questions <br />The undesirable wishes <br />The unsatisfied longings <br />The unfulfilled dreams <br />And the white lies <br />The feeling that everything is true <br />When nothing is true <br />The feeling that everything is false <br />When nothing is false <br />And my loneliness crystallized into pain <br /> <br /> <br />But she asked me to bury my joys also <br />For her to scatter..... <br />For the mad, sad and the glad <br />And walk away to eternity...... <br />Gliding like a half bubble on flowing water... <br /> <br />Singing all this time about bubbles <br />My mind is full of airy nothing.<br /><br />prasanna kumari<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bubbles-11/
