Ice whitens eyes

by Partha Paul   Jul 23, 2013


All the oceans
between us
have frozen
into too long
an ice-land;
no ships, no boats
can go ashore;
skating or sledge
is not in vogue.
The tempest and
the tides of yore
have now forgotten
the oceans and
their fringing shores.
Ice, ice and ice cold;
an endless
ice-age both
silver and gold!

    The title caught my eye, it seemed a bit abstract and had me wondering the connection between ice and eyes.

    Neat opening image of the frozen oceans, and it speaks to me that maybe this distance between these yourself and this person is so vast. Especially since you made oceans plural, not just one body of water but many putting you between this person.

    Captivating piece and I like your style and your precise wording with your imagery... made me think nothing can touch or change a situation or a part of you, and same with this person, other people can no longer influence or inspire. It is how it is. Frozen in the past perhaps?

    Great piece, keep writing!
