There were oceans
In the grey pools of her eyes.
Whether reservoirs
Drained through tears
In the darkest of nights,
Or whirlpools
Designed to suck me in
At the slightest of glimpse,
I’ll never know completely for sure.
But there are oceans,
In the grey pools of her eyes.
Where I’m swimming in circles
Desperately trying to stay afloat
And where I’m overtaken
By the overwhelming feeling
Of letting go
And I wonder what it would be like
To drown within her ravenous storms.
“A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.”
― W.H. Auden.
So true!

I love the danger associated with her beauty. The feeling of being utterly powerless to it. Wanting, yet fearing. Love is a gamble, but there is no mention of the reward that love might bring: Just acknowledgement of the fear. Beautifully constructed…as always. Thank you for sharing it. These are the words I shall put my light out to tonight. I wonder if your words might influence my dreams. Good night.
