The End Being Near

i see they wander your eyes through space through time their worry a distant glare lost they quiver unsettled in their haze your silences your every thought like loud denials i understand them well those blurts of fear the muffled words smothered censored for fear they can never be unsaid seeking first a peace delicately balanced deep within stabilizing the inner sanctum making sure words ring true for fear of death and dying Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~CENSORED~ 2020 AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on October 2, 2019

They never lie. It's like the eyes should speak. It would be verbatim of their soul. I like enjambment. Thanks for coming by...was working on a live poem to see what happens.

It's hard to be in that position- having something important to say and being afraid to say it... but it's equally beautiful to have someone who understands these unspoken things! Deep and insightful, as always, my friend! ;)
