Best Emptiness Poems

With a sigh summer citrine sky turned green 
spontaneously into existence. 
Autumn's palette adds changes and are seen
to its systematic experience.

Stars shiver in fear on the coldest night. 
Voices in the darkness look for refuge;
heaven bound birds gather in distant flight
sailing through winds dusty powdered...

Where once a caterpillar ceased to crawl
  knit into a temporary tomb
  a chrysalis shell now lies, empty, broken
  observed from above
  by the butterfly, now set free

Where once a pine cone lay on the topsoil
  awaiting a crucible of...

Moon is still behind glum clouds
Sullen is the garb of a silent sky
So much like how he feels tonight
Anxious in the night laden in dark

Stars are opaquely hanging listless
Like the glimmer of her grieved vibes
Dimming in saddened teary eyes
Refusing to proffer a happy smile

A chatter...

The confusion of the living
With its sad and futile passions;
Is wearing out the people
As a woman wears out fashions.

What men have taken from the many
Is now the property of few;
The commandment not to covet
Is what men now love to do.

The dream of being equal
Would give...

something feels out of place,
 maybe my thoughts are twirling in the wind
- i am just not sure which one, at this moment in time -
i wish i knew. . i wish i could explain it (breathing out a deep sigh)

there is a void, yes-...

She sits by herself
on the grains of white sand
basking in the warmth of sunshine 
staring out at the sea 
while waves of sapphire blue crept towards her.

Tears stream down her face, 
another day of emptiness, 
another day filled with pain.

This was where they made love...

I feel empty inside;
robbed of its passion, my spirit has died.
It was a deftly theft,
no trace of trust was left;
so I'm feeling bereft,
and can't shake that feeling; God knows I've tried.

A shadow in the dark;
my soul has lost its spontaneous spark.
Poor invisible me,
no one can...

Today I sat in silence gently closing my eyes
Saying goodbye to sounds that makes our world alive
Slowly I started to drift, deeper into an unknown black
Where sound has never been heard, where life also lacked

The deeper and further I went, uncharted by any man
Where silenced...

I am full
Of emptiness
I long for longing
Crave contentment

The insensate pain
Of intangible touch
Indecipherable ciphers
Choreographed madness

Craggy comfort
Of blunt condolence
The decorum of anarchy
Deserted crowds, social solitude
Miles given to intercept steps

At the dawn of abundance
I see only
bones of ghosts 
Whose meager admonishment
I forgot to unlearn

Unredeemed
And unrepentant
I am in love
With...

The silent house
it's mouth firm and shut
the crying eyes
the trails of tears
can't beat the mourning sky

The silent man
locked up inside
he tracks the tears
counts empty bottles
cuts words from yellow
newspapers

In random order
it now says:
"evening chaos car prime-minister"
He thinks this might become
a masterpiece
A lamenting poem about
absolutely nothing.

Yes the crystal shattered
       It was empty so it never mattered 
            Saved for a wedding day

A SENSE OF EMPTINESS 

		Empty I feel inside,
		No emotions left within since you died,
		A black blankness that drains
		a hollow heart remains.
		Shackled to chasmic chains,
		Leftover is a shallow shadow, wide..

	A null void consumes me, 
	Sensations have been sucked out, all thoughts flee,
	Nothing lingers behind,
	Not a word...

as I gaze out upon the
tranquil surface of a moonlit ocean
I am taken by the vast emptiness
that I see

and I wonder if this
perpetual body of water
is taken by the vast emptiness
that is me

When we met you literally swept 
me off my feet,
You were a pleasant surprise and 
a treasured gift.
I felt in my heart of hearts that
we were destined to meet.
But just like the season’s change
so did our relationship.

You went from a loving man to a
narcissist very...

Oh! How I despise dawn’s blushing optimism
and dried hydrangea blooms sepia skinned and papery thin.
Humdrum hands beat doldrums drum.

Why won’t the summer solstice light this darkness?
A gnawing hollow where my heart should be.
Where cinder clouds float in negative space
memories collect like nesting sparrows beneath eaves.

I...
