Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

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

Vegter Papyrus October 2, 2019 at 10:22 PM 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. Line Gauthier October 2, 2019 at 11:59 PM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Vegter.

Rhona Mcferran October 2, 2019 at 9:19 PM 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! ;) Line Gauthier October 2, 2019 at 9:41 PM Thanks for your most appreciated visit and comment, Rhona.
