Robert A. Dufresne Poet Free verse

Empty Chambers

Hello?
     
…Here it is!

It’s so cold in here..
  
….. But the walls are still soft,
  …and the ceiling is higher than I remember…..
 
It feels so still and morose. 
  … Even my thoughts ..echo in here.
 
I have not dropped in on this empty abode for a while.
   …. There seems never to be enough time…. Too busy.

Look here.. and there …what a mess …
  ... Never did clean it up after she left.

No wonder I never visit here .

…..Wonder where she went
after leaving this empty, abandoned
heart of mine…

…..It‘s so cold in here….

I’d better go now….
Lots to do..

Goodbye.

Elizabeth Wesley October 6, 2011 at 3:53 PM The heavy heart shows even though you go lightly through the verse. Has kind of a hollow feeling to it and I enjoyed the feeling.
