Ocean Eyes

By Amee Laheru

Ocean eyes,

Result of pain that

I consumed to give a birth

to poetry.

I can't utter

How my heart beared

All the screams and shouts.

After a while,

It got quiet,

I choose full stops.

I've become symbolic of nothing.

Things have been frightening.

I learned to replicate them

With Verse.

Pain transformed

into the essence of laughter.

I think art is

Invented to make

the world realize

'We are our own Godfather.'

Ocean eyes-

My Final result;

I have a depth to

drown everything in me.

It's filled with darkness,

Still building light of hope

in perspective.
