In Her Eyes

Listen to poem:

‘In her eyes, fathomless the pool of sadness’ There’s a sorrow she won’t let go A melancholy in her that’s taken residence She welcomes it and nurtures it Deep down in the depths of her soul Her heart no longer an empty shell She welcomes its warm familiarity Feeding it like a lost kitten She needs it and it needs her Soothing and divine she treasures it She cajoles it and loves it more than life itself AP: Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted on July 18, 2019 for contest WRITING CHALLENGE 2, JULY 2019- MELANCHOLY sponsored by DEAR HEART - RANKED 1ST

No one can make sadness more beautiful than poets,...motivating us to love it, but true sad feels more close than love, tears are same for all,..
