The sky's a blank gray
Expressionless, overcast
It's only for today, they say
Yet seems forever to last

pseudo-expression's
of ragged diamonds
a fugazi sans brilliance,
shiner midst vague skies
in the optical jags of
practical indifference

She has a blank stare
One of detrimental looks
Kind of expressionless sight
Her eyes are stunning
Lips are a little pouted
Almost the saddest face seen
You can hardly look
Without having you heart leap
And desire to reach to her
And to hold her near
She’s depressed without trying
And without an expression shown
Your eyes lock on hers
You absorb all that she is
And a twinge of love comes forth
There’s caring in her
Deep down within her torn soul
You meld into one with her

Melting down onto kindly patterned brick
Shifted from a grandfather hand slow.
A stone stands expressionless
Which makes him look more human
Three others unlike him perch atop one
Less like him
And anything green or living
Seems to whither thither presence

Blank
Longing
Expressionless
White.
The characteristics of the first
lonely fall of winter,
mirroring the depression
that one sometimes feels
at an empty dinner table.
Meal for two,
eaten by one-
the heart yearns for
a love sitting across.
Empty seat
Vacant
Expressionless
White.
