Observe! Behind my

bright shiny smile

an ocean of tears



Δες! Πίσω από

το λαμπρό χαμόγελό μου

ένας ωκεανός δακρύων

Beautiful ambiguity of meaning in laconic verse. Is the bright shy smile a mask and an outward facade for a fundamental intrinsic sorrow or is the smile an unfettered release of joy enabled only by the cleansing and purging action of the ocean of tears?

Precisely! Literature is best when it can interact with the reader's subjectivity to acquire new and different meanings, sometimes even beyond the author's intentionality.

It could be both. It depends on who or when reads it. Thank you

As Khalil Gibran would say, a tear behind a smile. Well done.
