An Emotional Deluge

By Suparna Kudva Nair

The salty sea lies low in

my sorrowful eyes,

with its painful depth

in my throbbing heart.

The rewinding and

replaying thoughts,

are like the unleashed,

angered waves ripping me apart.

The tempestuous sea,

the raging storm,

the howling wind,

send me on a roller-coaster trip of emotions.

I am lost in the stormy deluge,

drowning in the vehemence of sentiments,

my tethered soul,

wants to be mended,

wants solace, a little bit of warmth,

an ounce of sunshine, to bounce back in time.
