Laxmi Uprety
When the mind becomes turbid
The sky turned dull as well
Even more leaden die the ocean grow.
There is a turbid ocean near to me
It coils up and comes closer in sizzling waves
Strikes the shore and spills all over
Thus, in swirls everywhere and flirts with me
And returns leaving me all soaked
Though my heart remained untouched
And mingles with its own universe.
