Description

I have always thought that a poem does not have 'one' meaning. It can (and has to) have many: one for each and every reader. If it's so, what could be the meaning of the following verses? "/ Your eyes -Ethereal / Like butterfly wings./" Or: "Imagine how / Long was the night / And it broke into a day / Loaded with shadows - ../" Or, again: "/ Where charcoal snow falls and freezes her heart, / With an occasional acid rain that melts her bones.
