John Lawless Poet Verse

Barbed Wire Impressions -Visual 2

Dark eyes peer through freedom's grate
squinting in a spotlight glare
lost between a fear's folly
and bloody fingered courage

Escape - denied the body
freed the passion of the mind
a visage in the twilight
dark eyes challenging their fate

Andrea Dietrich October 22, 2020 at 5:15 PM Love your impression of that picture , John. These kinds of challenges are so cool to see how people think so differently on interpreting things. John Lawless October 23, 2020 at 8:11 AM Thanks Andrea, as I gazed at the picture I could see the faded face of longing in the mist.
