Your Beautiful Eye Poem by Sarah Dharmasiri

Your Beautiful Eye

Rating: 4.5


I dream about your eye all day
If we are together or apart
I dream of wrapping my fingers around it
squirting the last drops from your cold dead heart.

I think how a gentle pencil intrusion
Might lengthen your bat-like sight
Maybe not, but I'd have the satisfaction
to block out its ice blue light

Perhaps I would pluck it right out of your head
while your eyelid sagged and fluttered
I could make an incision with utmost precision
Then stuff it with garlic and mustard
I could serve it houre d'overs
while your socket still spurts
forth flood foamy and frothy
Or I could blend it up smooth,
well what could I lose
if I brewed it up in my coffee
The hours that I spend
chewing on my pen
Thinking how crunchy it would be
If I tossed up a salad
Threw on a love ballad
and roasted it up for my tea
Goddamn your blue eyes
I really despise all the things that you did to me
I can't look at your face, without utter distaste
I'm grateful I'm finally free.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem was written about a friend I was infatuated with as a teenager and who used this advantage to manipulate and hurt me (physically and mentally) . I wrote this as I gained independence and learned to distance myself. Like many people I made many more mistakes but I turned my anger into this 'semi-light hearted'ish poem with murderous overtones.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Chinedu Dike 07 April 2015

Bottled up rage, anger and disgust occasioned by mental and physical abuse received while in tragic bliss of love well depicted in the poem. A well articulated poem written from the heart. A nice poem indeed. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
