Eyes So Icy Blue

Time spreads apart many crests of a wave
Flow in cadence falling on sandy shores
Wash away any trace our souls to save
Even our footprints vanish mine and yours

Eyes shine like liquid stars so icy blue
Blind almost so pale in color make ghosts
Bumps up against darkness' glittering hue
Where deep green sea meet at the coasts

Forever drowned in a dream when each breath
A stench of decay mists into my breast
That what leaves behind after cheating death
Through rocky portals swirl a life compressed

A dank stormy night face a mighty sea
When gulls are crying and laughing at me

About this poem:
A sinking feeling to describe the smell of death washing up upon a stormy shore as it conjures up fleeting images of time and mortality for 'who knows who we really are' when our whole life is only like footprints found in the sand...... here today and gone tomorrow......

Hi Red, This is indeed a very sad reflection and comment on life. So many in this world still depend and exist on what washes up on the shores of chance....cool

Just a genral comment to all on the corner here.... Not all poetry is chipper, sunny, happy lovey-dovey....scratching my pen towards the darker and rawer side of life is often very powerful prose, too....

Sad and powerful! There is so much more emotions packed in a sad poem...I could be wrong but that's just how it feels for me. wine
