Once upon a time...
I had gone down to the sea.
From ancient of times, I had heard that the sea can teach you "love"...
And thus I had gone, anticipating to learn the art of love.

But the sea was a different sight...
Dark waters swirled in phantom waves towards me...
The blissful guardian of the sea called the sun had gone to a slumber... Spreading a veil of darkness over my eyes...
Streaks of thunder flashed across the sky...
And it rained on my hopes that I had long dreamt of !

Drenched in the rain and in invisible tears,
I realized the depth of love...
For love is but the depth of the sea and I, but a shallow soul...!My heart had but no courage to approach the trench that love was...
And thus my soul began to fear the sea... N sadly, love too!
