The Ships.

By Gopika Venugopal

What are we but just two ships in the middle of the vast ocean

With people who dally for us in opposite lands?

In the waters, we met and devoured the love potion

And its effects fade once our bow touches the sands.

In the ocean, we swam, embosomed and necked in every current,

Now it’s time to sunder away to the depthless lands

in hopes of seeing each other, maybe in another voyage .
