Poetry Lovers Of The 90s, Who Can Recall This Poem? by Ishilove: 12:14pm On Nov 22, 2017
I dreamt i saw an eye, a pretty eye,

In your hands. Glittering, wet and sickening,

Like a dull onyx set in a crown of thorns.

I did not know you were dead

When you dropped it in my laps . . .

Why do you now weep

And offer me this little gift

Of a dull onyx set in a crown of thorns?

Don't use google o cheesy

The morbidity of the subject matter is part of what enamoured me to this particular piece of poetry. I would sit down after classes and reread it over and over again.
