2008A Picture of the Ocean
Filed Under (Poems) by Noor-ul-ain Noor on 16-08-2008
Another one written in 2005. Salvaged today.
A Picture of the Ocean
I whimper
the way sand thickens, softens,
partially dissolves
when the ocean consumes it.
You roar,
a storm threatening
to make the waters
wild, fierce, furious.
Your hand-prints, warm, red,
prickle on my face,
reminiscent of small seashells
abandoned on the shore.
Your cold apology looms
like the horizon on a gray morning,
when the sun lingers behind clouds
with the certainty of appearing soon.
But today
the sunshine of your remorse
stands meaningless, foul,
unwanted.

Sorry for commenting on all your new stuff so late but this way, when I read all your posts together, I can have like this full blast of noor-ul-ain which is so much more enjoyable

At least you have a lame excuse Sidra
The poem was brilliant.
