An Empty Man

Invisible, when he appears; He has no Heart, no Soul, no Tears Emotions never born; his Mother is Death, his Father Forlorn He gazes through the Past, stares into the future, looking for his caste Living in his Dreams, A non-fictional Life : Reality; not what it seems A human android, survival for a hollow man, In a depleted void Loveless, Lifeless, the existence of an Empty Man : WIFELESS

Wow. I'm awed by this one. So strategically put together, as complicated and intricately designed as an android, yet so filled with void and empty concepts -- brings the poem alive and filled with abundant beauty. Maybe I'm not making much sense, but I really liked this one, especially the end. Always, Laura

You have to much passion to be loveless at heart. As I read it seemed to me you have a heartful of love.

a man full of love cant be called loveless,a man whose wife is in heaven cant be called wifeless,a man with a sleeping mother isnt without a mum,his mum is watching from above too,,this man has a heart full of love to give,yet first he needs to love himself..and the emptiness will be filled,love yourself for writing poetry,for seeing the sun everymorning,for having your soup family here.an empty man giving all he is to others,God loves you,he wants us here on this journey for a reason-find it.:)

This write packs a lot of punch, HG. The images are dark and vivid. A very sad existence, indeed. Very moving and thought provoking poetry, my friend. Blessings to you always, HG! Love, Robin
