Drowned

Squirming worms wriggling,mermaids skimming

The worms of thoughts and desires

The mind wanton wavering like pretty mermaids

Worms wiggling and crawling beneath the placid surface

of the deep waters in which I am drowned

There is no escape- I can only partly perceive the transluscence

Above the surface where the Sun shines

The bed of mossy sand and eons old corroded rocks

Many skeletons of seafaring vessels grounded

I dive down into myself.....................

Peek through the oval glass windows

The windows of one sunken ship

I see with dismay the discoloured,misshapen ware

The artefacts I cherished.. the ragged books

I slide my fingers over the silver cup I won long back

For plaing some game which now doesn't matter

I strain my eyes to see the writings on my college certificates

Alas !! the writings have faded to nothingness

Without laurels I exist today free and happy

My surface is all what people see

Deep beneath lies me slowly changing with time
