Robert Isaacs Chiwala Poet Blank verse

Why Do You Look So Afraid

******
There is fear in your eyes
Why are you looking down?
There is mist in your eyes
It seems soon they will be flooding

      ******
Feeling like I'm hanging in the air makes me afraid
Sometimes feeling like I am falling
Yet not very sure if I will fall in your arms
So afraid to fall on a rock and be broken

Promise me you will be generous
Promise me you will catch me
That I won't skin my knees and heart too
That everything will be just fine

      ******
There is a tremble in your voice
Your legs seems to be vibrating
Your feet seems unstable
Be careful you might even fall

      ******
I have big heart many do say
I think I cannot control it anymore
My own weight I cannot contain
All my energies being frozen

Promise me you will be generous
Promise me you will catch me
That I won't skin my knees and heart too
That everything will be just fine
