Red eyes

Red eyes

A Poem by Dupur Mitra

Why are you tensed 
to see my red eyes
What are you thinking 
about our lovely ties 
Don't look at me 
see the skies 
also see the red colours 
when the sun rise 


Why are you tensed 
to see my red eyes
see the red flower 
no sign of cries 
look at the dawn
Is not your surprise 
day and night meet there
you can revise

Red eyes are usualy a sign of irritation or sleeplessness. This is a worry. But there are other red shings to see that aren't worries.

interesting. Red eyes are very unusual, but red itself is not. people should see the beauty of the world rather than shrinking away from the unusual. Nice use of the word 'tensed'. Good job :)

Better and better! Ambiguity is a poet's delight.. I see: Commander of the shadow puppets, the minions of night, "Beware the dawn where they fight." Of course it could just be about someone coming home, stumbling drunk, wearing too many ties. Love it! :)

this is well thought out and well translated (if English is a second language for you).

I really liked this and found the appeal to be positive and hopeful despite clear reasons (unexplained) for red eyes uplifting.

very much enjoyed the read.

Zombies and vampires have red eyes. That'll make anyone edgy

Like the use of tensed, which could be understood as a verb from tension, or tense as in past tense, so a nice enigmatic touch there. Not too sure about ties though, which could be understood as clothing. I would also use rises instead of rise, or use sunrise. So a fine poem, that needs a few small changes to be even better.
