eyes deep like oceans

eyes deep like oceans
was the thing that pulled me in
now I am drowning
emotions not felt in years
trying to stay above waves

  2. I think being pulled toward the depths is what makes us drown, but we can also learn to swim.

  3. Neat, succint and strong Maria - we've all been there and it is overwhelming... Your piece captures this perfectly and with such economy too... Great!

  4. This is so touching! It's strange how with the passage of time we see people differently and how our emotions change...

  6. What a beautiful tanka...I love this! We have to learn to discern whose eyes we should be looking into and getting swallowed up by!

  7. This sounds like a nice experience to have unless I misread the poem.
