Absence Poems | Examples of Absence Poetry

Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory Just thinking. The other day. So many years have passed. Standing under the orange sun. Time is fading. Like pictures in a frame. Everyone has forgotten. Can’t put your arms Around a memory. So long ago. In a small town. So carefree. A child-hood dream. Time is...

I must grow used to longing for your absent face— with weeping eyes, accustomed to the ache. My cup lies empty now. From this moment on, I shall fill it only with regret. Though I am far from you, whenever I close my eyes, you appear— seen by the heart, called by a hundred whispered prayers. Where is the one who, in the night of parting, sighs into the...

The one I would've taken a bullet for Was the one behind the trigger But here's the thing about betrayal It never comes from your enemies And what's even sadder is I don't blame you for hurting me I blame myself for thinking you wouldn't I trusted you But I know your words and promises meant nothing Because your actions spoke the truth I...

Silence is the absence of energy No vibration, movement, or synergy Nature muted, physics frozen Molecular loss of motion Stillness, cessation, yet more Peaceful quiet we adore Or the calm before the storm A meditation to perform Tranquility without a note No rhythm or tempo to denote Without melody or harmony A sad musical larceny No instrument, no voice to sing No string to pluck or bell to...

Wavy descent Fitted garment No one is chasing me Time is silent Radical war Internal conflict Limited hope Eternal distractions Fearing stagnation She is not even real Where do I go? When will I know? Stillness brings peace I am lost in the fog Darkness has taken me nowhere Am I bathing in the waters of life? Hungry for more Numb to the shadows who whisper my guilt Destroyed the world with one...

Winter of Discontent Cloudiness has settled in the sky An act of unpalatable truth of the kind A summer sun easily hides Old dwellings are full of cracks Sagging roofs and dust on the windowsill Pot-holed roads, dry as clay, lead from From doom to the gloom of routines Nothing changes; life is an endless struggle Spring is far away Then,...

In a sky not ours, your name still shines brighter than ever. Through cosmic storms and trials we sever, yet love remains our endless endeavor. Through endless stars and fate untold, our souls entwine, forever bold. Through fate’s embrace, dreams retold. Our love glows brighter then molten gold. The stars may scold, the winds will chide. But love remains,...

How enlightened I feel Her music so surreal I wonder on her ordeal Whatt makes her feel these feels? Does she chant them back in silence? Read and recollect at night? Does she always sing with her whole soul? Or is this her therapy, instead of to write?

I see the wind And hear the sun And when it hurts I have such fun I know not when But the where is sure The reasons are clear Though fully obscure Thoughts I suffer The long night through Bring such comfort How is this true Confusion reigns Within thoughts clear And peace so far And yet so near I can feel it Though I’m completely numb My mind subtracts To find the...

Ladies worth are in the kitchen, But this generation, Gen Z sold them out to men. What's the logic? Human can't live without food, Yet ladies worth are now in men custody, Because men in charge of the kitchen You may ask, why am I so proud? It's because that's what I worked hard for. I'm proud of my craft, my worth,...

My mind is locked, I feel so low Drowning deep, don't know where to go I search for keys to unlock my brain But thoughts are stuck, driving me insane I wish I could break free from pain But darkness grips, refuses to wane Suicide's not the answer, I know My mind's a mess, feeling lost and slow I see the key, but...

The Genetic pool I’m my father’s son, I carry his genes He is a part of me that is inseparable If I hate him, I dislike myself These days, I’m older than my father He is my son, and I love my son Once I saw my father on the bus He reached out to say hello Misinformed, I ignored...
