Subrisive eyes

by Mattias Ostling   May 28, 2012


Bottomless like the deepest abyss,
Their color aleatory like waves.
It is always the same,
they are always subrisive,
in my waking dreams and in my sleep
they follow me.

Even if I wanted to elude them--
to escape their gaze, I could not,
nay, for they are always on my mind
And they're always in my thoughts,
in my waking dreams and in my sleep
they haunt me.

Forever out of reach, but constantly
urging me forwards, they trick and they
fool me to hope and to pray that the
insurmountable distance can be bridged--
that somehow, in her waking dreams and in her sleep
my eyes haunt the same.

    It is elegant, I enjoyed reading it. I also liked that it's a love poem. I found this one sweet but i still have to look for the meaning of one or two words.

    I hope that what I thought they meant was the meaning. Well written.
