My faucet eyes

My faucet eyes

A Poem by light and ashes

I think I cried in my sleep last night.
My sadness is an ocean.
My eyes are only faucets.
Sometimes they drip.

I love using the word "faucet" with "eyes"! Clever phrase. It bring a torrent of feelings & images -- we've all had those times when it seemed the faucet would not turn off! Amazing how you conjure up so much with so few words! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Great metaphor here. Crying does cleanse the soul...and sometimes it is necessary. LydI**

Thank you Lydia.
This is a very great and beautiful poem, and sometimes we all need to cry to feel better and your metaphors were extremely clever!

oh so so deep like the great big blue ocean -- sometimes its good to come up to dry land...see the light and let the shadows shrink❤️

Suffering and learning. Lying in your bed alone can be the darkest place. Tears and the pain that stalks you. Nice work and the title is a clever tie in. Great job.

Thanks duff!
I do believe we cry, we suffer and we remember in dreams. Powerful and honest words my dear friend. I believe dreams are our doorways to living. Thank you for sharing your amazing words and thoughts.

I have some déjà vu in my dreams and you are welcome my friend.
Calling crying eyes a faucet is how I would describe mine in the past when I was emotionally crushed and had to let everything out. And like the ocean, tears are salty and seemingly endless. Thanks for sharing!
