My Poem titled “Cold Sea” which is a cry of every person from Gaza who has been left to die. It is a cry of every oppressed person in any other part of the world who has been subjected to atrocities.
The person is addressing the world as “she”.
Cold Sea
My soul was waiting,
My mind was waiting too,
While I was waiting,
I had no clue
As to whether She’ll console me
If Her I ask so to do,
But,how could so
I even try to do
When my Heart wasn’t even
Allowing me to move.
I tried everything,
But, what could I do
When I was freezing
In that coldness too,
I had sunk into
Such a Cold Sea
Where I couldn’t
Even myself see;
Over its rocky bed
When I fell,
I was wondering to whom
I my woes will tell,
It churned, crushed
Me inside,
I felt as if to myself
Had I lied;
Who could me
Out of that spot then guide?
As he who has reached it
Has already died.
I talked to those shards
And those bones,
I pleaded with those
Hard stones,
I struck my head
Against them,
I wiped my blood
With every weed’s stem.
My moans
Did break some of
Those stones;
Their pieces then let out
Some pensive tones,
Which created ripples
In that Cold Sea,
Which further
Aroused pain
In me!
It was just a chaos
In that sea,
It was a sea of sorrow
All around me!
” Why I disturbed
This harmony”, I said,
Stones must remain stones
If they are to be in a sea bed!
My blood to those weeds
Gave a voice,
Who said that why I myself
Did sacrifice,
They said ,”it seems you belong
To beautiful human race,
Why did you choose
To live your life in our place?
Why do you want to live
Among stones?
Why do you want to be
Among dead bones”?
I said,”I only seem
To be a man,
How can without
My Heart I my life plan!
My Heart is there
Outside this Sea,
But that doesn’t
Now recognize me”.
Let me become a prey
For all sea life,
That may then end
My internal strife,
My abode is now
The darkness of this sea,
I could not be
What I was meant to be!
I called to her,
“Just take me along”,
She said,” No
You are too strong”;
I said, “Why you
Pushed me into it?”
She said,” you for it
Are a perfect fit”,
May be she is right
In what she said,
If it pleases her
Let me be on this rocky bed!
Why should anyone else
This darkness choose?
Why should anyone for me
Anything lose?
That streak of light
Do I often miss,
I still long for those moments
Of eternal Bliss
When I will be joyful
And feel free
When my Heart
Would again be with me!
