Hollowness Poems

Cry of the broken

Your timing, O God, is flawless, they say,
Mercy spills from Your eternal edge.
I cling to that truth, yearning for solace,
Yet it slips as I bleed through the years.

Woes swarm like static, sharp with insult,
Words that cut, leaving a thousand wounds.
Will You, my Maker, cradle me close,
When tears and fragments are all I am?

If pain is

oh how my soul rots

i wonder if this feeling will pass.
if the skin rotting beneath my eyes will become a permanent color of blue,
if the bruises on my knees will fade to nothing more then flesh. 
they say this feeling goes away as you age-

 im not so sure about that. 
i feel the agonizing sensation of pain rotting

Shadows of her

Sitting on the nook with head on her knees.
Soft were the eyes that looked at me.
Sunbeam flickers and falls on her face,
Like rainbows, flowers and a lovers gaze.

She loved me, and i could see it with my heart.
But the time wasn't right, and she had long fallen apart,
And suddenly she wasn't there at all.
No smiles,

The hollowness of now

An emptiness follows me
                           Walks with me

Haunts the present

Hollowness Of Nirvana

An opening's gap
Construed as silver lining's
Lack— not wings; just blue stupor—
Clouds spinning circles.
Still crowns kings; a wisp of rain
Falls in brief— in heaven's clasp.

Why must light always be strewn of,
Shortened like tearing tears?

Obsessed Fathomless Hollowness

Un-----earthed 
my----self 
de--ci--sive--ly
Near-ly bust-ed
Lay-ing on rocks...
Weakened spiritually; Rejuvenation before long—
Tucked in that rock-bottom chasm, 
nevertheless kept dreaming—
Woking up— 
Surprisingly distant             from myself;
Although, woken to that seemly monotonus dream/thought... 
(As it is of you, my muse) 

     Some—how

Haughty Hankerings - the Hubris and Hollowness of Hieroglyphs and Holograms

As Pharoah thought
Deep thoughts on Thoth,
He became serious
And thought of Osiris.

What of Seth?
What do Anubis and Horus sayeth?
Of Amun and Mut,
And panoplied Nut?

It may take me forever
Mused the Pharoah -
To invent the Alphabet
To honour me and the rest.

So he hit upon a plan
From the carved likeness of man
In relief on a cliff.
Hey, hello - was
