The Poet and the Sea

 The vast and forlorn sea,

Expanding to eternity;

Looking for a poet to share,

It's pain of immortality.

Poets come and go;

Have composed for ages beside me;

It's tearing me apart,

The life of eternity.

I want to be mortal,

Mortal like the men;

I want to leave this earth,

And want to be born again.

I am dying a painful death,

For almost infinity;

It is awful to exist

Being the immortal sea.
