Her Melancholy Eyes,




Her melancholy eyes are like a stagnant forgotten pool. It's deep reflection draws you in like a mirage is to a fool.
It is a mysterious journey into a lifetime of pain with just a glance,somewhere between a world of woe, and a moment of a chance.
If you follow where they lead, there is no turning back. The load you carry will be greater, and you will miss more all you lack.
You must break free from this deep pool before your own demise,
for if you are not careful, you will drown in her melancholy eyes.

  1. This poem seems to be about a person with such deep sadness that he/she will pull you in and you will be sucked into the other person's pain and have a hard time breaking free. A depthful poem.

  3. A lot of depth for certain in this poem.......the picture above is amazing! This is a very well written piece. I especially love the ending "you will drown in her melancholy eyes." A sad poem, but written by a survivor, I do believe!
