Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Covered Silence

Empath whispers hold covered silence
desires whisk away with the moon
earth tone times of trepidation 
dragged off and hidden in the ruin

pain stains blush red under pretense
separate flights of frighten 
   
leaves float 
frustration fills the noon
snipped strings hang 
on acceptance 
what's left of you

looking back forgiven specks
eyes don't lie

aspirations exhaust 
breaths rest
hearts reaching past the black
gasps aghast 
screams seams   split in two

Charlie Smith September 8, 2017 at 1:09 PM Terrific interpretation Tim, it's either exactly as you portray it or a really bad sneeze. Best wishes in the contest...
