FREE VERSE Poem: Ocean in her Eyes, by Mariam Saeed Khan

Verse 1

Ocean in her eyes
If you stop and watch,
the waves crashing inside the eyes
carrying the burden of their souls
and dreams,
on the shore, rocky steep,
she wouldn’t say a word
sights became a tale
Waves after waves

Chorus

the clouds above her head, making her fall through the sea-shell
They are a pool of their thoughts,
Time after time,
Just like the pearls
Inside the sea-shells
They are no one yet a universe intertwined. Intertwined..

Repeat verse 1

Ocean in her eyes
If you stop and watch,
The waves crashing inside the eyes
Carrying the burden of their souls
and dreams,
on the shore, rocky steep,
She wouldn’t say a word
Sights became a tale
Waves after waves

Repeat

Oceans in her eyes.. Their eyes..

Verse 2
Full of glow and sight.
As deep and powerful.
As shallow as hour glass other time

Chorus

The clouds above her head, making her fall through the sea-shell
They are a pool of their thoughts,
Time after time,
Just like the pearls
Inside the sea-shells
They are no one yet a universe intertwined. Intertwined..

Bridge

Would you take a look at an untold tale?
Would you dive along with her from far away cliff?
Would you ever ever ever make it through?
Calling us out across the wide parallel waves

Verse 3

Ocean in her eyes. Wide open… The heart know it before them. Before anyone else.
Just like the eyes wide open inside the ocean
