Pearl of Death


 Pearl of Death

-Tariqul Islam Siam

Lonely moon, incessant night.

Too deep the ocean,

Yet divers dive,

What is their ambition,

That transcended life,

I dived and Its colors blinded me,

Perhaps I did not want to see,

A pearl sparkling at the abyss,

Dare I go that deep?

I did, so did the fish.

In my hands the pearl,

Why is it red?

O blood of mine...

"Don't go" all said

But I love that bloody shine

Little did I know,

How long my blood flow,

It drained my soul

Burnt it like a coal

I ask myself,

To die at the shore resting on the beach

Or to die seeing that pearl in the abyss
