Eyes

Posted on by Shaily Agrawal

Across the crowded room

Alive with mirth,
The siren’s song

Drawing him in

Towards

A certain death…

Full of foreboding,

Beacons in the rough sea,

Warning him in the dark night

Of the dangers of closing in…

Before he is dashed against the rocks.

Stormy like the sea

Pulling him underwater,

And keeping him a prisoner

For a lifetime…

Eyes that sing to him

Across the crowded room.

    1. Thank you, Yvonne! When we fall in love, in a way we die, because whatever we do, we do it to make our love happy. In hindi, there is an old song, “Ranjha Ranjha karte karte me khud Ranjha hoi” (I said his name so many times, I became him.)
