Eye In Eye - Munch
I've since looked at Kiss IV by Munch about his relationship with Tulla Larsen and may revisit poem this as I feel differently about this painting now...
Inspired by the painting by Edvard Munch - Eye in Eye. Which I explored as free verse yesterday. I have attempted to do this within restrictive form but prefer the free verse. As ever - view the painting to aid understanding.
Empty soulless stare, eye in eye
Nothing declared, nothing to find
When did we give up, fail to try
Remain with invisible bind
Rooted to spot with life devined
Unseen tether, never untie
As unfathomably entwined
Empty soulless stare, eye in eye
I made my bed, now I shall lie
Open unclosed eyes to remind
Question repeating endless why
Nothing declared, nothing to find
No type of comfort, never kind
What judgement does your stare imply
Trapped in this life, I am confined
When did we give up, fail to try
Imperceptible air supply
Contact leaves me feeling maligned
On inner strength I can't rely
Remain with invisible bind
Purgatory for me designed
Life choices to here I decry
But to my fate I am resigned
Harder to breathe, with you nearby
Empty soulless stare
