SAVITRI LOST AT SEA SHORE !
The sea is tempestuous tonight gurgling mouthfuls of mellow foam 
To the Rock Shore not caring to know how the River of her sweet Love
Had so hastily dried up inside her largest coral reef after a streaky flow ;
There the sun burns with anger in its groins being unable to suck the glow
Of the swelling surface of the bay (of Bengal) after a full-throated swallow 
Of narcissistic rain ,her roars drown the screechings of birds,frightened who lean
To left in search of a chance to swoop down to catch a fish in a quick grin ;
And then to feasting, floating, pattering ,billing and to happy breeding
Without caring for the ceaseless woes in her spacious heart seething ;
Under the huge flow ,churning up her heart and waves rising , turning
Back to hungry tides with desires burning but again turning sour at the cliff
Back to daily tiffs with the dying river of her love who was once so lovingly stiff ;
The sea of Savitri feels young but hopeless today in absence of the embrace
Of an overflowing river of past for whom she prays to YAMA to eternally bless .
