the longing
like a bubble trapped
beneath the ice sheet
i see grief
the icy grief
the eyes
see grief
the eye
sea of grief
withholding
the tumult of an ocean
inside of a drop
that drop
with a skin
reflecting
of the oscillations
between
life and death
every breath
from the moment
that was
before
the longing
was born
beneath the ice sheet
i see grief
the icy grief
the eyes
see grief
the eye
sea of grief
withholding
the tumult of an ocean
inside of a drop
that drop
with a skin
reflecting
of the oscillations
between
life and death
every breath
from the moment
that was
before
the longing
was born

Nice word-play and intriguing imagery. There is something suffocating about the symbolism of grief 'like a bubble trapped beneath the ice sheet'.

I really like the way the poem veers from the repetition of the word 'grief' (usually associated with loss/death) and shapes it towards love. Really nice.
