Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Teenage Drama

Afraid to face reality
That it might prove unpleasant
Scared to be cheated
And hurt by deception

Hiding in seclusion
In my own private world
Plunging into a vast sea
Of pleasurable memories

Swimming with unfolding waves
Of fiction and dreams
Shying away from the
Ambiguity of the present

Living in a handsome yesterday
For a beautiful tomorrow
But when we’re left together
And there’s just you and I

I come out of my independent sea
I extend my hand
Hungry for the warmth of yours
Craving for the soft caress
Of your eyes and smiles

And along sandy beaches
We leisurely walk side by side
The comfort of your closeness
Has no need for words

Till once again you must depart
The sun falls
The waves clash madly against
The solid wall of rock below us

You look behind
I’m gone
The outline of the cliff is bare
All to be seen a silhouette
Diving into a roaring sea

Andrea Dietrich April 15, 2018 at 11:32 AM wow, a very impressive one going down your poems on that second page, Line. Brian never allows poems more than 20 or 24 lines. I think if it had been shorter, it could have been a winner. It is with me. I need to get hubbie off to work now. And do "my time" in church library at 12. HOping to have a bit of time before then to finish best poems on this page two! Line Gauthier April 15, 2018 at 11:43 AM Thank you for your visit, Andrea. Much appreciated.

Freddie Robinson Jr. December 2, 2017 at 5:48 AM Such a dramatic ending to this tragic love poem, Line. Very convincing in it's full scope of understanding the underlying current of emotions can led to the sad farewell ending. You pen is a most capable translator of human frailty. Excellent poetry. Love and peace always.
