Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Laws of Attraction

A palpable hovering haze
of intention or expectation
hangs in the silence

Avoiding the issue of attraction
As it weighs burdensome
On the lightheartedness of friendship
And its virtue of affection

Subtle yet really hardly so
Stubbornly refusing to name itself
And come out in the light

Somehow ashamed of its own existence
Yet here we are already in the What If

Darlene De Beaulieu April 27, 2018 at 1:48 PM Hello Lin, I agree with Olvier, like he said a person can be more than just friends. Yes we are in the What If's. Have a nice daymy friend. Line Gauthier April 27, 2018 at 8:49 PM Thank you so much, Darlene, for your lovely visit and comment.

Oliver Mckeithan April 21, 2018 at 4:28 PM Very nice poem Line. Amazing when you meet someone and become friends but somewhere in the back of your mind something is speaking to you that this person could be more than a friend. Very well written. Oliver Line Gauthier April 21, 2018 at 5:30 PM Indeed. Thank you so much, Oliver, for your much appreciated visit and comment.

Gershon Wolf March 22, 2018 at 9:04 PM Line, I think that this is quite a nice free verse 'companion' to your poem, "Love is Blind." In both, attraction is the theme. Love must be on your mind, young lady! Warmest winter smiles and wishes, :) Gershon P.S. My favorite book of my teacher, my 'Rebbe,' Rav Ahron Soloveichik, Of Blessed Memory, is titled: Logic of the Heart ~ Logic of the Mind. How about that?! Line Gauthier March 22, 2018 at 9:31 PM Sounds lovely, Gershon. Thank you so much for your wonderful visit and comment.
