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? 1 Like 2 Shares |

Don't use google o 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. |
