I keep an entire ocean
hidden in my eyes.
In the innermost core
there’s broken paradise.
I am less flesh and blood
and more brine sighs.

This poem echoes through my being with an aaiiii me! Exquisite!
So deep…so beautiful…loved this!
This is utterly gorgeous…….I know that ocean of salty tears inside well.
Beauty encased in so few words. Amazing.
I like it. Still thinking about that last line.
Fortunately there are many of us that feel this way. Maybe it is time for another less destructive species to take over…it will probably be the rats! Beautiful poem Sumana.
Love it!
What a beautiful poem – the opening verse was my favourite I think
Your first couplet is very haunting,

The depth of feeling you expressed here is amazing. So much hidden in / behind the eyes!
Oh, those salty sighs…they do tell us where we come from…love it!
Oh, wow! Accomplished piece.
Since ancient times, humans have assigned healing and meditative properties to water. Very beautifully penned, Sumana. Amazing …I love it the way it is! 🙂
