...An African drum throbs from a distance.

from unblinking stone

The Hollowing
...I once screamed
But the echoes faded,
And slowly, I lost my voice.
I once cried
Until the rivers dried,
And slowly, I lost my tears.

How wondrous is its tranquil stillness,
The night breeze gently caresses my face.

Excuses

Every word, a wound on my skin,
They bleed but do not kill,
They weep but do not cry,

And joy was something spoken of,
But seldom felt or experienced, something
That most of the time, meant reaching for another,

Hollow soul, heavy heart.
Inner self falling apart.
Things didn't go the way I wanted,

Sitting here in the emptiness,
My mind in a void of emptiness,
As I try to make sense of it all,
But all I feel is a lonely fall.
My broken heart just thumps along,

With lips that part in righteous guise, They weave ...

Ego's captive, their world forever bound.
A facade of grandeur, a charade of delights..
Narcissists embrace, their relentless fights.

How much I hate your guts
Clutch a glass so tight
