Cry Empty

While in course of writing
Some words appear spontaneously
We see a new face smiling
Though not meaningful literally 

Such suddenly cropped up medium
Of expressing our thoughts and music
We aptly call them idiom
That captures the shadow elusive

Only the other day in a composition
About the picture of loneliness
I wrote the words without hesitation
‘Page after page keeps crying empty’

Let me quote the whole extract
To make my viewpoint more exact 

“There are times when the river leaves me
Robbed of all chime air is paranoid
Page after page keeps crying empty
Lost into barren blue, moments annoyed
Getting into thick crowd broadens the void
So sitting alone with dark Pink Floyd”

Sponsor: Jesse Day
Note: My poem ‘Blank Pages’ contains this idiomatic expression ‘crying empty’ which many fellow poets in ‘Poetry Soup’ have read. I do nurture a thought to refer it to some competent forum like Oxford Dictionary for their opinion.

Like a Bee In a Bottle

Every resonance

that seems to bring into life

It makes one's being

a likely confounded mind

yet leavens its fleshliness

Note: 

* "Like a bee in a bottle"
is an idiomatic expression of 
resonance

*Thus, this poem has something
to do with the law of resonance

me, myself and I
take turns doing many tasks -
afterwards, we play!

(Based on the idiomatic expression: wearing many hats; for me, life is full when there is much to do, but it's interesting, and also, there is much fun to look forward to!)
