Pluck My Eye

Pluck My Eye

A Poem by ShameemAkhtar

Pluck my eye
And play marble


Aim


And


Strike


Aim and strike
With the marble of my eye


Strike her


Strike her rock
Rock her stride


Break her


Rock


Rock her frolics


Survive her heart
-break
Her heart

Into


Pebbles


Gravels


Go to the jeweler


Pick my eye
Polish her rocks


Glisten my marble
Pump the purple of her heart
In the flesh of my marble


Stone
Her rock


Pluck my eye
And aim


Someone
Hand me
A help
Lend me
a hand
-le


handle

The beat


Beat
The heart
Beat


Pluck my eye


Play my marble


I don’t have a hand

Author's Note

ShameemAkhtar
Your eyes can speak too...

Imagine two people conversing with their eyes where one loves the other and the other does not.

One pair of eyes tries to melt conquer the other while the other tries to break don the one...

Pretty words.

A very different view from what seems to be a game. Maybe a game of heartbreak? Very original.

Your words are true. The eyes can tell a thousand stories. Good and bad. I like the story in this poem. A very good poem.

this poem makes me think of the story of Oedipus. The eyes are the tools to see and feel the soul.
