Absentia Poems - Poems about Absentia


In Absentia
She hears herself in the distance confess to undying love. So out of touch with loyal love to self. The unholy ghost of him demystified in mid-urn. He is neither near, nor far. No grave in which to turn in rage, even if he could. So much was left behind in dust to dust return to earth, White lies, black lies to grey ashes burnt. The...

Moral Absentia
The missing link of their humanity got replaced by Neolithic bonds, uncivilized howls of cruelty Crucifixion affliction in iron lung demand; release the wolf, kill the Lamb Many Stone Age hearts numbed by the touch of their Ice Age hand Shrill vocal vote count, Pliocene election in rudimentary action Selection process yield feral satisfaction, innocent blood amount Such hollow compassion, an enamel mirage Arctic fox visage smiles in frozen...

Inspiration In Absentia
When I use my pen more often as a dart then a tool for writing poetry, I'm lost. When my mind can't find words that rhyme I grumble to myself about my unfaithful muse. She leaves no clues when she disappears, and my fear is that she'll not return, which burns me up inside. Has she no sense of duty...

Absentia
The air is calm, I feel no breeze, to stir the trees, now bared of leaves. There is no sun, the clouds are grey, I know not joy; you've gone away. Silence hangs heavy, lacking sounds, no sign the world with life abounds. The birds are hushed, the river stilled; my Soul with deepest sadness filled. Calling your name, no one replies; seeking an...
